Old Trafford Manchester Pitch report for Test

Manchester Cricket Stadium’s pitch is known to be good for batting during initial days of the match. The team who bats first mostly wins here because the ball comes nicely on the bat on a fresh wicket. However, as the game progresses, pitch assists bowlers and scoring after 1st innings becomes tough. Interestingly, since 2006, 13 test matches have been played at the venue and only 2 times a score was chased here.

Overcast conditions are predicted during the 4th ENG vs AUS Test. So, the Pacers will be able to move the ball under the clouds. James Anderson who has replaced Ollie Robbinson can get his rhythm back in such conditions. Old Trafford Manchester serves as the home ground for the 40-year-old pacer as he plays domestic cricket for Lancashire.

Manchester Weather during ENG vs AUS 4t Test

According to the Met Office, the weather forecast for the first day at Old Trafford indicates a dry climate accompanied by ample sunlight. However, on the second day, there might be a slight delay in the start of play due to anticipated light showers around 10 AM. Nevertheless, it is anticipated that the game could resume during the early afternoon. Moving on to the third day, Manchester is expected to experience clear weather once again.
