Hales heroism results in Test honour

Coral make England odds-on 8/11 favourites to wrap up the One Day International series in Dubai with victory, while Pakistan are 11/10 chances to draw level.

Touring batsman Alex Hales has averaged almost 50 runs per ODI from the three played so far and, although that is heavily skewed by his 109 in the second game, he has also been designated as England’s opening batsman for their forthcoming winter Test tour of South Africa.

Hales’ terrific ton in Abu Dhabi is the highest score of this series, and he features in a terrific 13/2 wincast to celebrate earning the honour of being top of the England order by leading the way with the bat and England to victory in Dubai.

Woakes wickets will be key again

Warwickshire all-rounder Chris Woakes, meanwhile, has eight wickets during this series, with four apiece coming in the last two One Day games.
