IND vs ENG Pitch Report for 2nd Test
Edgbaston’s surface carries an intriguing mix, plenty of grass on top, but a dry base underneath. That’s usually a recipe for big first-innings runs, and recent matches have followed that script. Spin hasn’t dominated here in the Bazball era, though quality off-spinners have still found ways to make their presence felt. With sunshine leading into the match and only light, scattered rain expected on Days 1, 4, and 5, conditions should allow for a full contest. Expect batters to make hay early, but bowlers who adapt smartly can still find rewards.
