Edgbaston Pitch Report:

At Edgbaston, the pitch offers fast pace and lively bounce, especially in the early stages, favoring pace bowlers who can take advantage of these conditions. As the game progresses, the surface becomes better for the batsmen, offering less help to the spinners. However, in the second innings, the pitch tends to dry up, which increases the efficiency of the spinners. Choosing to bat first when winning the toss is often a strategic decision in this popular venue.

Birmingham weather forecast:

The weather in Birmingham is forecast to be cloudy with a chance of light rain. Such conditions can have a big impact on the outcome of the game, as bowlers, especially those who can produce swing and seam movements, usually succeed under cloudy skies. Each team will have to change their tactics to make the best of the situation.
