ENG vs WI live streaming: ENG vs WI weather and pitch report 

As per AccuWeather, the weather conditions will be cloudy with chances of rain during the ENG vs WI live match on Wednesday and Thursday, while the last three days are expected to be sunny. Coming to the pitch, the 22-yard strip is always expected to be favourable to spinners.  But with no cricket being played on the surface over a considerable amount of time, the seamers can also expect to get a bit of help from the surface. The captain winning the toss is likely going to opt to bowl first to make the best use of the conditions.
