Wayne Rooney is 6/4 with bookie Paddy Power to continue his goal scoring run when England play Belarus on Wednesday.

With five goals in his last four matches for club and country Paddy Power are betting on how many goals the shaven Rooney scores against Belarus. It’s 8/1 for another brace and 22/1 for a hat-trick or more. In contrast the less prolific Emile Heskey, with 5 goals in his whole 49-game England career is 7/2 to fail to score in the rest of England’s World Cup qualifying campaign and 20/1 he doubles his England tally by scoring five or more.
