Pitch Report:
Although the bowlers should get help off the surface, the
batters are expected to dominate proceedings on Thursday. The new-ball phase
will be critical with the pitch easing out after the first few sessions. Spin
will come into play in the latter half of the match, making for a good contest.
Both teams will ideally look to bat first upon winning the toss and put a big
score on the board.
