ENG vs IND Weather and Pitch Report
Pitch Report
The Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester pitch for the upcoming Test is expected to be a green, lively surface that will favor bowlers, especially seamers. With thick grass cover and a well-watered base, it promises early movement and a serious challenge for batters throughout the match. The famous Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester slope further complicates batting, causing the ball to move differently from each end. The pitch at this ground was once known for the pace and bounce, and has turned slow and flat in recent years. While the surface used to favor fast bowlers with swing and seam has now changed it pace and speed making it more batter friendly and suitable for Spinners. The grass that’s usually seen before match day often disappears by game time. With rain expected during the Test, pacers may get brief support early on, but spin is likely to dominate as the game progresses. Experts like Steve Harmison suggest that the surface might play similarly to Edgbaston and could justify the inclusion of two spinners in the playing XI.
