IND vs ENG Pitch Report

Dharamshala generally plays well for pacers with a green track. The cracks on the surface though open up on day four and five, quickening the pitch while also increasing chances of variable bounce and turn. The surface though is a used one and that could make it turn earlier in the Test making it another bat first track.
