IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Pitch Condition

This is a high-scoring venue. 63 and 64m square boundaries and 73m hit down the ground. I will do a knuckle test first, it’s not hard as the last pitch we played at and it’s cracked so it might spin a bit in the last 30 overs.

While the Sun is out through the day. I think the ball will come on nicely. I feel the pitch is a bit abrasive. It might slow down in the second half of the first innings. You might want to bowl first and there might be a bit of dew in the second half. The pockets at mid-wicket are short so spinners will have their task cut out.
