Once the early movement subsides, the pitch offers a fast, reliable surface where batters can play through the line with confidence, while spinners often find useful turn.

Nottingham will experience mostly cloudy conditions throughout the day with occasional brighter periods. High temperatures are set to reach a warm 28°C, cooling down to an overnight low of 16°C.
