Pitch:
The Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton, is known for being a good batting wicket with a fast outfield and reliable bounce. Batters usually enjoy playing on this surface as the ball comes nicely onto the bat. The new ball may move around for a few overs, making life difficult for the opening batters. As the match goes on, spinners can also get some grip from the surface.
Weather:
The weather in Taunton is expected to stay cloudy throughout the day with temperatures around 18°C and a low of 13°C. Humidity will be close to 74%, while the chance of rain is only around 5%. Winds of about 24 km/h could help the seam bowlers early in the game, but overall the conditions look good for a full match without any major interruptions.
