What to expect:
The highest-ever total at the venue batting first is 325 which was coincidentally made by England in the last series between the two teams in December 2023. It was also successfully chased down by West Indies. That game apart, the venue hasn't been quick-scoring and hasn't witnessed big totals. Scores in the 275-300 range have been competitive and the trend should continue.

"Cloudy, cool, muggy. By far the coolest it's been this week. Massive rain scheduled in a couple of days, but locals say never bother trusting the forecast."

Shai Hope:
We're going to bowl first, with this overhead that we have, we want to utilise it best. Conditions could change, want to bat later. We could always improve in all three departments. First we need to adapt to these conditions, Sri Lanka was totally different. One change, Hetmyer comes back. We have to look at the present and make sure we cover our bases but the bigger picture is the 2027 WC.

Liam Livingstone:
We would've bowled first too. Looks a good pitch, hopefully gets slower later. We've got a group of young boys here, great opportunity for us. We've got 4 debuts. Really exciting day for them, looking forward to that. It gives new boys opportunities and that's what this tour is about. We obviously want to win but want to give some new guys opportunities.

Jason Holder will be punditing for UK broadcaster TNT Sports and is anticipating an intriguing contest between two teams in their own states of transition. .

Yeah, Holder sounds good and articulate in his comments so far.

As for the England team, I'm don't recognise half the names. Curran at six? If that's true, IMHO that's one place too high for him.

Pitch report:
"63m and 62m square boundaries, 74m down the ground. Strong winds coming in from the East. Last 5 games here have been won by the chasing side. Has been a good batting surface. It looks very well prepared, grass is cut very low and its rolled in nicely. Aesthetics look very good. Should be good for 260 or more" suggest Ian Bishop and Nikhil Uttamchandani.

Forde to Will Jacks, FOUR, too full and too straight, easy pickings for Will Jacks. This one slides on to the pads, Will Jacks just uses the pace and glances it fine to the ropes

Where are the usual Barmy Army crowds of roasted lobsters in the stands?

North Sound seems a bit empty today....

Are they all still drowning their sorrows in Pakistan?

6.1
Forde to Philip Salt, FOUR, full and outside off, Philip Salt looks to drill it through the covers and skews it off the outer-half, it flies past backward point and races away to the ropes, just a bit of width on offer there
