The Windies lost the first Test last week at Lord’s by 10 wickets and were clearly outclassed in doing so. Yet England are only –115 favorites to take the second Test in Durham, starting Thursday (5:30 a.m. Eastern).

It’s possible this event could go the full five days and end up in a draw (+160). Last year’s Wisden Trophy series saw the Windies win the first Test in Kingston, Jamaica and hold on for the championship with four consecutive draws. But the victory in Jamaica is the only time the West Indies (+450) have beaten the Three Lions in five years. England has 11 wins with six draws – including eight wins and a draw in nine matches at home. It’s theirs to lose.
