Pitch Report

The surface here will be very good for batting and plenty of runs will be on offer. The conditions will be a bit overcast and pacers will look to take advantage of it with the new ball but overall it should be a high scoring contest and both sides will prefer chasing at this venue.

9

Ben McDermott HAM | WK

9

Tom Westley

ESS | BAT

Tom Westley is batting lower down the order and has not been able to make an impact with the bat this season. Hence avoid him for this match.

8.5

Shane Snater

ESS | BOWL

Shane Snater went wicket-less and did not complete his quota in the previous match. With plenty of better options he can be left out.
