Edgbaston Birmingham Pitch Report For ENG vs WI 3rd Test

Edgbastonm, Birmingham [X]Edgbastonm, Birmingham [X]

On Friday, England will cross swords against West Indies in the final Test of the ongoing three-match series on home soil. Led by Ben Stokes, England have displayed incredible dominance over the visitors. 

After securing an emphatic victory by an innings and 114 runs at Lord's, the Three Lions crushed the Men in Maroon by 241 runs in the second game at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. 

So, moving on to the final dead-rubber, England would be keen to ensure a whitewash, while West Indies would be desperate to break their losing streak and conclude the tour on a high note. 

As the stage gets set for an enthralling clash, let's see how the surface at Edgbaston in Birmingham will behave throughout the contest. 


Edgbaston Birmingham Pitch Report

The surface at Edgbaston in Birmingham will heavily favour the bowlers throughout the match. The seamers will get substantial assistance, in the air and off the pitch, making things tough for the batters in all five days. 

The track will likely be a bit more lively than that in Trent Bridge. So, expect the fast bowlers to get some extra bounce alongside prodigious seam movement. 

If the sun beats down, the track might get slightly easier for batting from day three onwards. 

The heat might make the track drier, which could lead to uneven bounce on day 5. Batting first will be a brave call unless a bright sunshine greets the players on day 1 morning.
