Pitch Report and Weather of IND vs ENG 1st match
There are fewer chances of rain in the first test match between India and England at the Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds. We can expect a few drops of rain later in the day. It surely won’t affect the nature of the match.
The first session of the test match will surely help the pace bowlers a lot because conditions favour the team. The opening batters need to keep their eyes on the ball and let the first session pass by. Later, when two or three days pass, there will be help for spinners as the pitch becomes dry. We can expect anything above 250 in the first innings to be a decent score.
