Weather Report & Pitch Condition

A number of games in this English summer have been called off due to incessant rains but it is unlikely that this one will be. The forecast for all 4 days of the game in Chelmsford is more or less clear, with not more than 3-5% rainfall expected. The temperatures will be cool with a high of 22 and low of 9 degree Celsius. The conditions are perfect for a quality 4-day game.

The track at The County Ground in Chelmsford this season has been very sporting, with something on offer for everyone. While the first match saw a score of 398 in one innings, the average per innings score was 250 while in the second match it was around 220.

The track has offered swing for the pacers early on, while making it relatively easy for batting after the new ball. The last few sessions have been dominated by spinners. Expect another competitive game on this pitch.
