While the chances of rain are quite high this noon at Nottingham, the fans are arriving at full pace to cheer their team. The meteorological department has predicted that there will be a 50% chance of precipitation. With grey skies, Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult will get a high chance to swing the ball with more spectale. And both the teams are in outstanding form to match the test.

While India is in excellent form with a dangerous top order, the only set back they that seems to have is the injury of Shikhar Dhavan on his thumb, leading him to a 2 week rest with KL Rahul Expected to take his place.
