England 7-1 For World Cup Glory After Dramatic India Tie

England are 7-1 (from 6-1) with Coral for the cricket World Cup, following their dramatic tied match against India today. The Indians remain 11-4 favourites, ahead of Australia, South Africa and Sri Lanka, all 9-2.

"Having got so close to chasing down a World Cup record target, Andrew Strauss's men will be disappointed they didn't go on to win the match, and we've eased them a point to 7-1 to go all the way. Unsurprisingly this game provided the biggest in-running turnover of the tournament so far, with both teams trading as hot favourites at different points of the action, and to confirm, all bets will be settled as a dead heat," said Coral's David Stevens.
