IND vs ENG Pitch Report: If we talk about the Edgbaston pitch in Birmingham (Edgbaston Pitch Report), then both the ball and the bat benefit during the Test match played here for five days (Ind vs Eng 2nd Test). The Edgbaston pitch is balanced, where fast pace and bounce can be seen on the first two days of the match. Top order batsmen may face difficulties in batting here in the early days, while fast bowlers can get a lot of benefit.
Especially if the sky is cloudy, the ball gets good seam and swing, which makes it difficult for the top order batsmen in the initial session. The role of the Dukes ball is important here.
After the third day's play, the pitch starts becoming flat and the batsmen get the advantage. Batsmen can be seen hitting big shots on the third and fourth day. On the fifth day, wear and cracks start appearing on the pitch, which helps the spinners.
