England are in the lead and they know look towards the future. They played their first home Tests without Broad or Anderson after 12 years. They still have a good amount of experience though with Mark Wood back and Chris Woakes kicking through well. The duo were the ones to change the flow of the game last year when they came back in the 3rd Test of the Ashes to draw the series.
West Indies has a tough way back though. They came back a few months ago to win at the Gabba but their bowling attack and batting line-up both remains inconsistent.
Date: July 18th, 2024
Time: 3:30 PM IST
Venue: Trent Bridge, Nottingham
Pleasent weather with a few showers in the weekend are expected. The Test though should proceed without much interruptions.
The track has considerable grass cover but could get drier as the Test goes on. Batting second is likely to be better with batting expected to get easier.

Gus Atkinson
Gus Atkinson had a really good debut, overshadowing the importance on Anderson’s retirement. He kept it simple, hit the right lengths and looks like a bowler to take care of for England.
Shamar Joseph
While one quick bows out another makes his way in. Shamar Joseph was phenomenal in Australia. He had Steve Smith under a lot of discomfort with his bowling and was the primary reason behind the Gabba win. He is at another iconic stadium and will be hoping to breach through it and run in happiness once more.
England could be favorites with home advantage and a talented line-up.
