England vs West indies : Pitch Prediction
In general, the first few days of a Test match at Trent Bridge in Nottingham provide seam-friendly conditions.
And, above all, Nottingham’s pitch may be faster than Lord’s. Moreover, the seamers might receive a little extra bounce, which would probably make the batters’ jobs difficult.
We could witness the moisture seeping in and helping the pace bowlers if it rains and if the sun is shining, the track may become drier and allow for the use of spin and reverse swing which will keep disturbing the batters.
All things at Nottingham pitch may be slightly warmer than the Lord’s. Therefore, the team that wins the toss will probably bowl first if a flat deck is distributed.
For West Indies this match is the last chance to come back in the series if they win this match then the last match will be the decider for both the teams and in the second test both the teams will be looking to bat first and score a good total let’s see how the bowlers will utilize the pitch in the first innings.
If England wins the toss and is elected to bat first then they will be close to 280 runs and if the West Indies bat first they will be close to around 250 runs after the first innings the team needs to put in a good lead.
England vs West indies : England
The England team needs to focus now on the upcoming bowling attack because, after the good experience, James Anderson now only Mark Wood Chris Wokes, and Gus Atkinson are the 3 pacers who will be leading the bowling team, and the spinner Shoaib Bashir and the captain Ben Stokes who have taken 200 wickets in the last test match so how the bowling side will perform in the next game.
The batting lineup is good and has scored runs as well in the first test England scored 371 runs and then the bowlers did the rest but for the Trent Bridge where the pitch supports the bowlers if the batsman is not able to predict the seam bowling, then it will be difficult for the batters.
England vs West indies : West indies
In the first test, Kraigg Brathwaite the captain was not able to give a good start to the team but in the upcoming 2 more matches he needs to give a better start so the batters can perform without any pressure and the team at least should score 270 runs in the first inning if they are going to bat first and the pitch at Trent Bridge supports the bowlers so the target should be more and don’t let the other team score more.
The bowlers did a great job they took 10 wickets and England scored 250 runs lead so if the West Indies batters perform well and set a good total that will help the bowlers to build the pressure and take the early wickets.
