Pitch:

Trent Bridge is renowned for producing flat, high-scoring surfaces in modern white-ball cricket with true bounce and smooth carry. However, its unique atmospheric conditions mean seamers can often extract generous early swing, especially when there is overhead cloud cover.

Weather:

Noticeably brighter than Manchester, with partly sunny skies. Expect a high of 22°C (low of 15°C), westerly winds around 17 mph, and a low 20% chance of a light daytime shower.
