ESS vs SUR Pitch Report

County Ground, Chelmsford

County Ground hosts this First Class match, and reading the surface early will matter.

The average first-innings score here is 239.

3 recent first-class games here produced 2 results and 1 draw, with the side batting first winning 0 of them. No side has chased successfully in the fourth innings in those games, a sign the pitch wears and gets harder to bat on.
