IND vs ENG 2021: Trent Bridge, Nottingham pitch history and Test records

India and England will kick off their five-Test series with a match at Trent Bridge in Nottingham from August 4 to 8.

Like most English venues, the conditions in Nottingham assist the pace bowlers. Stuart Broad bowled a magical spell of 8/15 at Trent Bridge in the Ashes in 2015. Hardik Pandya, meanwhile, picked up a game-changing five-wicket haul for India the last time the team played a Test at this stadium.

India have fond memories of playing at Trent Bridge. During their 2018 tour of England, Nottingham was the only venue where the visitors managed to win a Test. Virat Kohli and Co. will be keen to replicate the same performance in 2021.
