Pitch Report: In the series opener, the fast bowlers got some purchase from the pitch in the initial overs. However, the track got better with time and both the sides should keep the fact in mind. With the conditions being cloudy and rain expected to play a part in the latter half of the game, bowlers will find it difficult to grip the wet ball. Hence, the toss winning captain must elect to field first.

England, who comfortably won the first game, are not likely to tinker their winning combination. Hence, the likes of Liam Dawson and Reece Topley will continue to warm the benches. On the other hand, it’s a must-win game for Ireland and they must leave no stones unturned to come on top.
