The pitch will favour bowlers, especially seamers and all eyes will be on veteran Jimmy Anderson, who just loves to claim wickets at Trent Bridge. Out of 617 wickets claimed in his Test career, Anderson has claimed over 60 wickets at Trent Bridge, which include seven five-wicket hauls, which only indicates that the Indians must tread cautiously on dangerous grounds. However, in the previous series in 2018 at Nottingham, India won the (third) Test match at Trent Bridge by a whopping 203 runs. It will be interesting to see the rivalry renewed between Virat Kohli and Jimmy Anderson once again.
