Pitch Report
The weather is expected to be slightly overcast. The temperature is expected to be around mid 20 degrees max. So there will be a movement for seam bowlers. They would want to exploit the first session as much as possible. The average first innings score is 233 which may be enough this time too, seeing the overcast conditions. The winning captain would want to bowl first. And would expect their bowlers to rattle away the opponent batters.
England VS West Indies Dream 11 Team
England VS West Indies Top Picks
Joe Root: Joe Root has been in stellar form recently. He literally owned the year 2021 single-handedly leaving behind his competitors by miles. Overall, he played 114 test matches in which he scored 9600 Runs with a high score of 254 Runs at a strike rate of 54.77.
Mark Wood: Even though the whole English bowling unit had horrible Ashes, somehow Mark Wood was able to come to the top. In the last 5 test matches, he has taken 22 wickets. And his ability to regularly bowl over 150 kmph makes him extra lethal.
Kraigg Braithwaite: West Indies batting will depend a lot on this man. In the last 10 matches, he has scored over 600 runs at an average of 33..75.
Jason Holder: Jason Holder is currently one of the best all-rounders in Test Cricket. His ability to stick to one line and length makes him very dangerous. Even though his batting skills are very underrated but his ability to chip in crucial runs will be very important for West Indies
