In comparison to Red ball, Pink ball keep its shape and hardness intact for longer period of time. which is favorable to seam-swing (not so much for reverse tho) and fast bowlers enjoy bowling under the floodlight if pitch offering some help. Good bowlers can exploit condition very well and evening session (under floodlight) is testing for every batsmen.

But if wickets is flat road then queen save the bowlers. Here toss comes in the play, every team would like to bat first if its flat wicket.

@JSRAW has correctly summed it up as England bowlers too are excited to use the pink ball, and judging by their excitement I feel that team India is going to be in lots of trouble if they lose few early wickets. Also how many of you’ll think that Indian pacers will trouble the English batman with the pink ball, because I feel that English batman's will play well against Indian pacers.

In last Indian tour of England, Indian pacer out bowled English pacer in their own condition and English batsmen really struggled against Bumrah & co (Indian batsmen were shitty, except Viart) i am hoping Indian pacer will perform. Having said that if pitch really supporting fast bowlers then our batting line up could face another collapse one more time as Anderson-Broad-Archer are lethal bowlers (finger crossed lol). Indian middle order (Pujara,Virat,Rahane) will be very crucial.
