ENGLAND head into today's T20 international against New Zealand on a high after their stylish 3-2 ODI series win over the Kiwis.
It's another chance to build confidence ahead of the Ashes in three weeks and continue with the impressive attacking game that has given the national team a new lease of life.
England are 19-20 at Boylesports for victory in this one-off T20 while the Black Caps are generally available at 10-11.
For top English batsman it's Alex Hales (10-3, Stan James) followed by Jason Roy and Joe Root at 4s with Boylesports and Eoin Morgan at 9-2 with 888sport.
Britain's James Ward resumes a set up in his rain-interupted clash with Tim Smyczek at the Aegon Open and there's also British interest in the Wimbledon qualifiers at Roehampton.
Defending Wimbledon champ Petra Kvitova has pulled out of the Aegon International due to a virus and the likes of Lucie Safarova and Angelique Kerber are in second-round action today as they look to cash in on her absence.
There's also the usual busy night of Major League Baseball so let's hear your sporting tips and chat and good luck with your bets.
Hi
Wimbledon women’s qualifiers double:
PEGULA vs. Klusko
VICKERY vs. Abduraimova
Based on form and H2H. Landed a treble yesterday so hoping for more of the same today.
GL if you follow.
Bet is 2.01 @ Bet 365.
A couple of little bets on the tennis.
WTA Eastborune:
Giorgi @ 20/1
-good draw and form. Deadly when she catches fire on grass.
ATP Eastborune;
Querrey @ 14/1
– I would favour two time defending champ Lopez over him in the Semis, but I like the draw and the price Querrey has here, and he was superb for much of his last match against Dimitrov.
Acca:
Safarova
Giorgi
Pliskova
Simon
Querrey
5-fold @ 5.25
(Add Strycova for 7/1)
Will hopefully watch some tennis this week and get some good analysis done once the Wimbledon draws are out. Looking forward to some big winners at the all England club!
Ad What You Think of Ferrer and Wozniacki today?
Should both win matey, but I’ve stayed away because they’re not at their best on grass and Baghdatis and Gajdasova are very dangerous on it when they bring their best. Neither woz nor ferrer have played on the surface this year either, which is another factor. I did nearly include ferrer, but decided against it in the ends
No bet on the cricket today as i honestly have no idea whats going to happen. All i know is both sides batting outweight the bowling and that will result in RUNS. Off to manchester to watch it, t20 always a great atmosphere.

MLB Bets for tonight
Double @ 2.8/1 WON
Detroit Tigers ML (Win 8-5)
Minnesota Twins ML (Win 13-2)
Tigers don’t usually win when i bet on them but taking a chance tonight.
Treble @ 3.96/1 LOST
LA Dodgers ML & Under 10.5 Runs (No/Yes Lost 4-2)
Seattle Mariners 1st 7 innings DNB (End of 7th losing 4-1)
NY Yankees 1st 7 innings DNB (End of 7th losing 10-6)
Trying something new in the treble see if it works and it didn’t.
1 out 2 so profit, still some crazy results in MLB at the min
5-00 Eastborne
Flavia Pennetta to beat S Kuznetsova 2-0 16/5 W Hill
1/Pennetta higher ranked player and much better looking ;-)
2/Pennetta as won the last two meetings
3/Kuznetsova hasn’t got past the 1st round at Wimbledon since 2011 so not the best on grass these days, whereas 4/Pennetta as made the 4th round at Wimbledon 2013.
Overall the value as to be with Pennetta, I make her favourite despite no warm up tournament on grass yet – I think she will win the match and 2-0 is the bet for me!
Relieved to have left Ferrer out in the end. He’s one to watch for an early upset at Wimbledon if he comes up against someone who’s a threat on grass, like Kuznetsov proved to be last year. Very excited for the draw now.
Risking a couple of spare quids on Errani to get humped in either of first two sets. Her serve and game are such that this is always a possibility against someone more at home and with more weapons on a grass court.
6-0 BZS @ 18/1
6-1 @ 10/1
6-2 @ 5/1
Good luck if anyone follows.
Safarova just missed 5 break back chances. she’s not playing at her best, but theres not a lot in this and @ 3/1 could be worth a 1 unit stake if anyones so inclined to put their money on the line.

Winners dinners! ☺
Baggio, when I wanted to play that double, I only had 1.55 or something. How do you get the odds so high…
I Had evens but the odds dropped I think and glushko eventually retired in the second set
MLB Bets for tonight
Double @ 2.82/1
Detroit Tigers ML

Treble @ 9/2
Arizona Diamondbacks ML
Kansas City Royals ML
San Francisco Giants ML
Pegula was a void bet in the end, although I thought after 1 set if someone retired it still counted. Even so, if both had come through it should have been 2.02 TRD2. Not sure how you got 1.55?
