Experts maintain that with four days to go, the grass would be mowed, and the surface will be prepared in the proper manner. Subhayan Chakraborty also interviewed the head curator of Headingley. According to the curator, the pitch will get better, and plenty of grass will be cut. But he also cautioned that batting would remain challenging as it has always been, especially for the visiting batters, and hence the players will have to be at their best to score big at this surface.
