Wonder Wall can make fast start

Anthony Wall should be backed at the 6-4 chalked up by Stan James, Skybet and William Hill to win his opening day three-ball with Rory Sabbatini and John Senden when the Open gets under way at Turnberry on Thursday. The trio are out early at 6.52am.

Pietersen can bounce back

Kevin Pietersen looks a good bet to be England’s top first-innings runscorer against Australia in the second Test match, which begins at Lord’s on Thursday.

Miss Keck to relish stamina test
