Pitch Report
Although a good batting pitch beckons at the Kia Oval, there should be enough in the pitch to keep the bowlers interested. The new ball should offer some swing and extra bounce early on, keeping the batters on their toes. The batsmen will look to bide their time in the middle before shifting gears. The spinners will come into play on the backend of the Test, which could force teams to pick an extra tweaker. Both teams will look to bowl first and make good use of the conditions upon winning the toss.
