Headingley Pitch Report

The wicket is bouncy as seen in Ashes and will help the pace bowlers at the start with new ball. However, batting will be easy once the pitch gets old and will help the batters to gain momentum. Spinners will have little help in the conditions while batting second will be the best option.
