HISTORY was made at Trent Bridge on Thursday as the hapless Aussies' Ashes hopes bit the dust.
The tourists' paltry first-innings total of 60 from just 111 balls is the lowest in Test history as Stuart Broad ran amok with 8-15 on day one. England resume on 274-4 and victory is now a formality for Alastair's Cook men who have been slashed to 1-20 at the likes of bet365 and Betvictor.
The Baggy Greens are now a whopping 20-1 at Sportingbet while for England to reach over 454.5 in their first innings it's 5-6 at Paddy Power and the same price for under that total.
Top seeds Andy Murray and Fabio Fognini have both crashed out the ATP tennis events in Washington and Kitzbuhel and there's action from both tournaments today as well as Leeds v Warrington and Hull at Castleford in the Super League.
Other sporting highlights include cycling's Tour of Poland and Major League Baseball so post your tips here and good luck with your bets.

Dazzler – Nice win on your hits double, 15 & 14 hits each well over. Few nice pitching match ups for tonight.
Mathieu maybe worth a go @ 7/4. Great form and Almagros been beatable in recent times.
Thiem b Kohli hard to call. Obv hoping for thr youngster to keep the outright alive. An overs double in both matches could be worth a few pounds but otherwise not had time to consider putti much money on any today. Good luck whoever you’re on
Get in there Mathieu!!! Anyone on my tips? Lorenzi & Granollers both smashing it too :-)
I got on Mathieu as soon as Almagro started screaming at the ball boy. Totally lost his head.
cashed out mathieu. well done all those tipping and backing him.
almagro came back from 5-1 down against melzer to win 2-0. wonder if hes got a spectacular comeback in him here…
Super League Rugby
Not much time to study today but got to Fancy Warrington with the 9.5 pts start tonight, yes they were shocked last week in challenge cup against Hull KR but 9.5pts start against Leeds who they have beaten home and away this season is a lot.
As for tryscorers am looking at a 2.5/1 double at Ladbrokes for Justin Carney and Joel Monaghan to score in their respective games tonight
cheers atila had Lorenzi and Granollers in a evens double :)

Afternoon Guys Leeds Rhinos v Warrington Wolves
The second game of the super 8s comes from Headingly, the same venue Warrington were shocked last week in the challenge cup by Hull KR. Leeds go into this match as 2/7 favourites.
Leeds will be without Jamie Jones-Buchanan, Mitch Achurch, Stevie Ward and Liam Sutcliffe. Warrington could give a debut to the enigma that is Chris Sandow but will be without Ryan Atkins, Ben Harrison and Gene Ormsby who were all injured in that shock semi final defeat last week.
Warrington have beaten Leeds twice this season already, but any confidence they had going into this game could have evaporated with that shock defeat at this ground. Warrington have lost 6 out of 11 away from home this season. Leeds have won 5 of their last 6 at home and are playing some outstanding rugby.
I fancy Leeds tonight, I have said many times the Rhinos have the best backline in the league. Warrington realistically have to win 5 out their remaining seven games and I don’t know if they have the belief to do that. Sandow is a fantastic player but weather he can go straight in and get the wolves firing remains to be seen, he may need a couple of weeks. The weather is perfect for fast open rugby and if Leeds gets their offloading game going I can see them hurting Warrington. Harrision and Westwood are out so the rhinos should dominate up the middle. I think they will score back to back tries in quick succession at some point and that may shatter any confidence the wolves have left. I like Leeds to cover their try total set at 5.5, it is 6/5 Skybet.
In the try scorer market for Warrington I will stick with their star performer this season Ben Currie. I put him up last week in the cup and he scored, he as also scored now in his last 3 games and looks good value at 11/4 Betfred. For Leeds I am on the overs but Tom Briscoe again who I put up last week could deliver again, both wingers scored last week for Hull KR and Briscoe strike rate is superb. He is 5/6 Ladbrokes, or if you fancy a Leeds win you can get 11/10 on the Briscoe anytime wincast at Skybet. He could also be worth a look for man of the match at 25/1 if he grabs a few tries tonight.
LEEDS O5.5 TRIES 6/5
CURRIE TO SCORE 11/4
BRISCOE TO SCORE 5/6
Good luck if your having a bet
Thanks Chief nice write up … should be another good game!
On a roll with the tennis Atilla. Was on Albot. Thought he’d win but not this comfortably.
WC, thanks mate. It should be a good game but if Leeds start like they did last week in the cup it could be a long night for Warrington. I fancy a few tries tonight hopefully by Leeds.
A few tries thechief – 8 later … bet even in your crystal ball you didn’t envisage that!!! fantastic tipping again sir and thank you!! bit disappointed you didn’t tip the drop goal tho ;)
WC, I fancied a big Leeds win, so the 6 tries was the bet, although my crystal ball was hazy on the drop goal. I didn’t take it as I fancied a big win, and at 36-10 I was cursing Sinfield, I normally take it if the game looks close on paper.
Hi
new here.
credits to Attila !! :)
Cheers Dazid and you’re right lots of really good and even match ups tonight.
Tonight’s mlb
Cubs o7.5 hits @ 1.8
Add
Dodgers o7.5 hits @ 1.83
Double @ 3.29 (50 % stake)
Underdog single
Twins @ 2.15
Neither the Twins or the Indians are in good form right now. I think Twins have the slight edge on pitching and they did take 2/3 off the Indians back in May.
thechief, have leeds won the league, or do the 8s points count for the winner. ive backed wigan to win league.
Johnp, the points won in the season are carried over into the super 8s.
Chief top tipping again tonight mate, took the leeds overs and did the Briscoe anytime win-cast at good odds. I fancied leeds but when you went for em to score 6 tries was even more confident. thanks again mate for your hard work, research and knowledge. any thoughts on hull kr tomorrow?
Dave, cheers mate. That game is the game of the week for me. I fancied Wigan and I fancied Leeds, this could go either way, I would like to see the team Hull KR put out but I fancy points in this one.
Anyone got any thoughts on the Berankis v Isner game later tonight??
@ BigB – I’m playing it safe and just taking Isner for the straight win in an Acca on the Citi Open:
– John Isner
– Jack Sock
– B.Bryan/M.Bryan (doubles)
TREBLE pays odds of $2.54
If anyone is interested, think I found a bit of an up and coming tennis star in the ‘Latvian Futures’ matches going by the name of FRED SIMONSSON, ranked 809th in the world.
I have been on him the last 4 days straight and he has won in straight sets each time at odds of $1.30, $2.50, $1.50 & $2.25 respectively.
Today it’s the final and he’s up against another youngster who is ranked over 1000 places higher at 1,861st in the world. Bookmakers can’t split them and both are paying $1.87. What’s interesting is his opponent has had an easy run in with highest odds being about $1.50, and he even dropped a set along the way.
Still not sure if I should call this a ‘top’ as it is in the tennis futures (youngsters), but I’ll be on Fred Simonsson to WIN @ $1.87.
* ‘tip’
On this Baseball Treble (not a tip – just a researched guess):
– Dodgers ML
– Tigers ML
– Mets ML
Treble pays odds of $5.55
Cubs hits are in.
Cheers @Attila, was thinking the same, about just playing it safe. make a bit of money for tomorrow’s football haha!
Result Leeds 49 – 10 Warrington
As expected Leeds offloading game clicked in to gear and blitzed the Wolves, they were dominated up the middle and their backline again showed why it is the best in the business. Ben Currie was quiet tonight as were the Wolves but two winners out of three and Briscoe anytime wincast advised at 11/10 meant a good night. Leeds covered their total inside the hour which was pretty good going :)
Castleford and Hull was a super game, they have put them selves in the mix, but need to work on their defence.
