The five -match Test series between India and England is going to start from 20 June. The first match of this series will be played at the Leeds Stadium in Headingley. Leeds’ ground chief Richard Robinson said that unusually dry weather and England’s aggressive sports style here have raised good surface expectations for the first Test starting against India from Friday.
Leeds usually hosts a Test match in the middle of a series but the initial match here has attracted a lot of attention. Robinson is from ESPNcricinfo said, England just wants a good surface so that we can hit the line of the ball they want.
Robinson hopes that the pitch will help the fast bowlers on the initial day but will become flat due to the expected heat. The pitch will not only be favorable to England’s badgeball style, but it will also give more opportunity to the inexperienced Indian batting order to remain in the match.
