England have the upper hand over hosts South Africa to win the second Test at Newlands and take a 2-0 lead in the four-match series, according to bookmakers.
Sportingbet, the leading South African bookmakers, has backed England as 11/8 favourites for the Test, while South Africa at 33/20.
England gained a massive confidence after crushing South Africa in the opening Test in Durban by 241 runs. They will be boosted by the news that Dale Steyn has been ruled out of the upcoming match after failing to recover from the shoulder injury sustained during the first Test.
