Ahead of the opening Test match, let us check out Old Trafford Cricket Ground pitch report and stats.

Old Trafford has hosted 19 Tests since 2000. Of those matches, the home side has won 13 matches while four matches have been drawn. On the other hand, the visiting teams have won just two matches at the venue.

Old Trafford Cricket Stadium pitch

Old Trafford is the fastest track in England and is historically good for batting, but will take spin later in the game. Its pace has also made fast bowlers interested, and the records here speak themselves. Previously, the venue lost its test status in 2009, and after some redevelopments, the stadium regained its test status in 2013. The skipper winning the toss at the first ENG vs SL Test match might opt to have a bowl first.
