Pitch Report
The Trent Bridge provides a neutral wicket where both batters and bowlers are expected to receive a decent amount of help from the surface. It’s going to be a real challenge for the batters to face the swing and seam in the initial stages. However, later the surface is expected to become flat. Out of the last 15 Test matches played here, only 2 have ended in a drawn.
