1/50 England wary of chicken-farmer effect
England are 1/50 with bet365 to win the first one-day international of their controversial tour, while the Zimbabweans are 10/1 outsiders

A downbeat England side is lacking regulars Andrew Flintoff, Marcus Trescothick and Stephen Harmison for this unpopular trip. Zimbabwe also have an unfamiliar look following the loss of Heath Streak and the majority of their best players, who have been in dispute with their Board.
In the Batsman Matches you can bet on which of two players will score the most runs. Tatenda Taibu is pitted against Brendon Taylor - both are 5/6. Andrew Strauss is matched with Michael Vaughan - again they are evenly matched at 5/6.
Anything can happen at the start of a match, so any punters looking for a value bet on Zimbabwe could look at the Opening Partnership bet. While England are 1/3, Zimbabwe are 9/4.
