Alastair Cook is a 4/1 shot to push on to a triple ton in the first Test in Bangladesh after England dominated the opening day of the series.
Cook made 158 not out as England racked up 374 for three on Friday in Chittagong and he's now 4/1 to score 300 or more with William Hill.
The stand-in skipper is also an 8/13 shot to rack up a maiden Test double century.
There's also a market on Cook's final score and the firm bet 17/20 either side of 212.5.
At the other end, Paul Collingwood is on 32 and he's rated 7/4 to push on to a ton.
"England are looking very strong and should have this in the bag," said Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.
England are not surprisingly now red-hot favourites to win the match.
Sky Bet now make England 1/8 for victory. They had started the day as 2/7 shots. The draw is currently a 5/1 chance, out from 4/1 at the toss.
Sky Bet's Tom Warburton said: "Captain Cook and his men have handed out a pummelling today, which is reflected in the match prices - England now very short at 1/8.
"The draw goes out to 5/1 and suggests an element of value given England's injury-stricken attack. Bangladesh are a not-so-tempting 66/1."
