Old Trafford in Manchester is a venue where pitches are usually very flat with nothing much to offer for bowlers. You can expect batters to put on big scores. The average first innings score at this venue is 165 in the shorter format.
The weather could be a bit cloudy in the evening but rain is unlikely to be a big factor. The temperature should be around 15 degrees Celsius.
