England vs West Indies outfield report  

The Rose Bowl, Southampton

Given the expected twilight conditions, waning pacer movement but heightened dew, captains winning the toss are likely to bowl first, aiming to chase under more favourable conditions in the second innings. Partly cloudy conditions are expected with highs around 19 °C (66 °F) and lows near 13 °C (55 °F). A moderate south-easterly breeze (10–15 mph) may persist, but rain is unlikely, ensuring a fairly uninterrupted evening session.

The Rose Bowl has historically offered a balanced track. It provides early swing and bounce for pacers, especially with the new ball, and gradually becomes batter-friendly as the match progresses, typically yielding competitive totals in the 160–175 range in T20s.
