The Trent Bridge surface has generally offered an encouraging environment for stroke-makers, making it a venue where batters can score freely once they settle into their innings. The ball can move around slightly for the seamers at the beginning, particularly when they hit the right lengths and make use of any assistance available from the surface.

However, the pitch tends to become more favourable for batting as an innings progresses. Batters who take a little time to understand the pace and bounce can then attack the shorter boundaries and keep the scoreboard moving. The nature of the venue also means that teams capable of building partnerships rather than relying solely on big hits could have an advantage. With the possibility of conditions becoming easier for batting later, the captain winning the toss could prefer to bowl first, assess the target and then chase under potentially favourable conditions.

Trent Rockets: Sam Billings (c & wk), Ben Duckett, Finn Allen, Aneurin Donald, Tim David, Mitchell Santner, Lewis Gregory, Craig Overton, Calvin Harrison, Matt Henry, Ben Sanderson, Mohammad Amir, Danny Briggs, Ben Raine, Tom Banton, Dan Mousley, Louis Kimber, Brad Currie, Ben Mayes
