Experienced pace attack – James Anderson and Stuart Broad have been the pillars of the side from the last 8-10 years. They are still the best in their own business.
FIRST SEE TOSS PREDICTION
At the Kennington Oval, the success rate of the side batting first is higher than that of the side fielding first. Moreover, since the wicket at this ground tends to offer the best batting conditions during the first couple of days, the team that wins the toss here will probably elect to bat first.
