For those of you who like to bet on some of the more obscure markets or on the run totals, it is always worth looking back at the past Test history of the respective grounds to be used in a series.
The final ground in the series is the Riverside Ground, at Chester-le-Street.
The Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street
Has only been used for two Tests to date, so there is less to be read into the state of the pitch than at the other venues.

The weather is likely to be a big factor, but it is not a bad one to bat on, at least in the first innings, with England having made more than 400 first time out in both of the games.
