Headingley pitch report

The surface at Headingly is traditionally known to favor seamers, and early visuals confirm the presence of a green top, suggesting plenty of assistance for pacers in the first couple of days. With overcast conditions predicted, bowlers who can swing the ball will be licking their lips. Movement off the seam is expected to dominate the first innings, meaning batters will need to apply themselves with discipline and patience.
