Weather Conditions

Worcester’s New Road can be unpredictable for batters, with the pitch sometimes offering a flat deck for easy scoring, while at other times providing early movement and uneven bounce. Fast bowlers who hit the right lengths upfront can trouble the opposition, but as the ball loses its hardness, spinners start to find more turn and grip. The straight boundaries are short, so even mistimed shots can disappear for six. 

With high humidity forecast for Sunday and the possibility of late thunderstorms, the match should still get through without major interruptions.
