(Last 10 match)

The Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham is known for its balanced surfaces that offer opportunities for both batters and bowlers. Early in the innings, seamers may extract movement under the typical English conditions, particularly if the skies are overcast. Once set, batters can take advantage of the true bounce and quick outfield, making run-scoring relatively easier. Spinners may come into play during the middle overs, using variations to restrict scoring opportunities. A first-innings total in the range of 280–300 is considered competitive, though with the firepower present in both teams, scores above 320 are achievable. Captains winning the toss may prefer batting first in a high-pressure game.
