THE FORECAST
Many eyes within English cricket will be on Edgbaston as first place in Group 1, which will host third place. There is no love lost between fierce rivals Warwickshire and Worcestershire and a great match is expected here in Birmingham. Worcestershire have drawn all four county championship games so far, with neither they nor their respective opponents being able to force a result. Warwickshire failed to substantiate their win over County Champions Essex when they were beaten at Durham last week. English fast bowler Mark Wood shone for the hosts when they defeated Will Rhodes’ side with innings and 127 runs.
If you forget their performance against Durham, Warwickshire has been solid with the bat over the course of the season and much will depend on whether the bowling can take up 20 wickets against an away team that hits deep. Whether the fast bowler Olly Stone will play for the hosts remains to be seen, but either way there is close competition here. With Edgbaston usually having a good pitching field and bad weather likely to affect day three as well, it wouldn’t be surprising if that game ended in a draw for Worcestershire for the fifth time in five county championship games this season.
