Old Trafford Manchester Pitch Conditions:
There have been five tests played at Old Trafford in the last five years with only one resulting in a draw. England will not need reminding that it came against Australia, costing them a probable series victory. Three matches have been won by the team batting second. That would have been four were it not for the Manchester downpour in 2023.
Last year England beat Sri lanka by five wickets on a wicket which offered plenty for spinners. Sri Lanka’s Prabath Jayasurya opened the bowling for them and he also briefly made life uncomfortable for England in a chase of 205.
It’s a surface which offered for every type of Bowlers. This is going to be a thrilling encounter.
