We're playing on the centre surface. 62m and 66m square boundaries, the straight one is 72m long. This pitch was used for the third ODI, it's very dry and there is no grass on it. West Indies have just one spinner, England have four and Will Jacks was getting a lot of turn in that ODI. The batters will need to use their experience to counter the spinners on this pitch,. reckons Samuel Badree, in his pitch report
A good abtting surface at Bridgetown and we're staying with the original XI that we had picked. Do have a look before you lock in your final XI
