County Ground Pitch Report

The batting conditions appear promising on the pitch at the County Ground in Hove. The new ball arrives at the bat with a comfortable bounce, enabling batters to execute shots seamlessly from the beginning of their innings. As the match progresses, the pitch tends to stabilize, particularly under the evening lights, rendering batting more favourable during the later part of the game.
