Monday's betting preview

The Commonwealth Games returns to the Alexander Stadium on Tuesday for the first time since the opening ceremony as the athletics events get under way.

Six golds are up for grabs and Team England’s primary medal hope is pole vaulter Holly Bradshaw, who took bronze at the Tokyo Olympics. last year.

The men’s 10,000m final looks set to be a battle between Uganda's Joshua Cheptegei and Jacob Kiplimo. The African nation are seeking a fifth Commonwealth gold in succession in the event having won every running since the 2006 Games in Melbourne.

In the pool, Adam Peaty will be looking to put the disappointment of finishing outside of the places in the 100m breaststroke behind him when he races in his favoured 50m final.

And in the T20 cricket at Edgbaston, England’s women face familiar foes South Africa, who they comfortably beat in a three-match series only last month.

The hosts won the T20s 3-0 and also claimed a clean sweep in the pair's ODI series beforehand, so it’s no surprise to see them chalked up at long odds-on to make it two from two on Tuesday.

Left-arm spinner Sophie Eccleston is the rightful favourite in the top England wicket-taker market, but at a bigger price Issy Wong is worth considering. The 20-year-old plays for Warwickshire and clearly feels right at home at her home ground, taking two wickets for just ten runs against Sri Lanka.
