Pitch Report
The pitch at Edgbaston should be a bowler-friendly one, with the fast bowlers expected to dominate the initial phases of the game.
Batters need to hang in there and survive the new ball and once they get set, they can take on the seamers.
We can expect spinners to come in handy in the middle stages of the game when the track gets more worn out.
