County Championship Division One · First Class · Edgbaston
Warwickshire host Sussex at Edgbaston in a Division One clash where conditions look set to favour the bowlers early on. With a pitch offering pace, bounce and swing, the decision to bowl first after winning the toss suggests Warwickshire expect early movement to trouble the Sussex top order.
Sussex arrive with a strong record at this venue, averaging over 400 in their limited appearances here, while Warwickshire's home average dips below their overall season figure, hinting at some vulnerability at Edgbaston. Both sides have identical win counts in their last ten matches, making recent form fairly even.
Given Sussex's superior venue record and healthy batting depth, they hold a slight edge, though the swing-friendly conditions could level things out if Warwickshire's seamers exploit the new ball effectively in the opening session.

Likely to win: Sussex · Confidence: Medium
