As India and England are ready for a significant fourth test in Old Trafford, the first look on the pitch suggests a possible heaven for the bowlers rapidly. The surface appears to be a classic green top, which indicates the lateral movement and a lot of seams in the early stages of the match.
In the last few days, the outfield remains moist due to continuous rains in Manchester, which can help further swing bowling, especially under the storm. These are the circumstances that are tailor-made for the exploitation of the seamers, with morning sessions, it is likely to be challenging for batsmen, especially for the batsmen.
Fast bowlers will be seen to make initial inroads, and batting in the first two sessions can be extremely difficult, especially for the top-order players. The toss -winning captains can first bow down to bowling to take advantage of the freshness of the surface.
