Visakhapatanam: Just like Rajkot, this pitch at Vizag is a typical win-the-toss-bat-first-pitch. But unfortunately for England, that’s where the similarities between the two surfaces end. The pitch for the first Test had bigger blocks, firmer surface and more grass but the one for the second Test, quite expectedly, has smaller blocks and no grass.
This pitch is likely to deteriorate at a much faster pace than the one in Rajkot.
