Tourists humbled as Broad runs rampant.
South Africa's batting collapse in today's ODI caught out those seeking to make a quick buck on Graeme Smith's swashbuckling batsmen plundering the England attack today - the tourists were backed at [1.03] on Betfair to score more than 100 runs.
But, with Stuart Broad taking five wickets, no one in the South Africa XI managed to make more than 13 runs as the tourists put on a pitiful total of 83.
With everything going England's way, the home team touched a 'high' of [2.4] on the exchange. Opening pair Matt Prior and Ian Bell knocked off the runs, with Prior backed at [7.0] to score most England runs.
England now trade at [1.25] to take the series.
