Jonny Bairstow to score a half-century

Bairstow’s failure in the first ODI was a rare blemish, as he proved with 60 in the second match.

The 28-year-old has recorded half-centuries in half of his 50-over innings since the start of 2017, and is good value for another at this price.

David Warner to score a half-century

Warner has scored two centuries in his last three ODIs at the SCG, and is a good bet to at least reach 50 in this one.

Australia’s vice-captain was dismissed for 35 in the second ODI, and recorded three consecutive half-centuries in the last two Ashes Tests.

Adil Rashid to take exactly two wickets

Tipping Rashid to take over 1.5 wickets in each of the last two matches has proved profitable, so it’s time to take things to the next level.

The leading ODI wicket-taker in world cricket since the 2015 World Cup has taken two wickets in both games so far, so back him to repeat the trick.

England to win -

Despite stuttering over the line in both matches, England have looked superior to Australia in every department in this series.

While they continue to be priced as underdogs, they remain worth backing.
