The surface will provide great bounce and pace to the bowlers, hence making it tough for the batters on the first day of the game. However, the wicket becomes easy as the game progresses. The chasing teams have won more at the venue and it would not be a surprise if the skipper winning the toss picks to field first.

Weather Report

The St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury is known to favour fast bowlers due to its true bounce and pace, providing batsmen with the freedom to play their strokes. However, spinners face a tough challenge here due to the small dimensions of the ground. Canterbury is expected to experience cloud cover, and the pitch has absorbed moisture in recent days. This moisture makes it difficult for batsmen and bowlers to generate significant seam movement and bounce.

Batting first, Nottinghamshire raised 350 runs in the 1st innings. A century from Ben Slater and 94 from the bat of Tom Moores gave the team a great start to their game.
