Pitch Report | Michael Atherton and Ramiz Raja:

It's not too hot, a gentle breeze blowing across the ground. 77m down the ground, square boundaries - 69m and 62m. The pitch looks very bare, very dry and very cracked. Still battable, win the toss and bat first. The ball will grip. Looks good for the spinners.
