Edgbaston Pitch Report:

The pitch is a balanced surface where bowlers tend to hold the advantage over the batsmen. Batters frequently encounter difficulties in scoring runs easily, especially in the early stages of the game, as the pacers receive significant support from the pitch. The surface offers lateral movement, requiring the batsmen to display their skills to achieve a competitive total on the scoreboard.
