NOS vs BPH: Pitch Report

The surface at Headingley offers good pace and bounce, and thus the batters who are confident in their stroke play can find the pitch very rewarding. While the seamers may get some movement off the pitch early on, the spinners are likely to get more wickets as the game goes on. Because of the bigger size of the ground, captains could be going for batting first and then putting up a high total, which could be difficult to chase.
