Nice little breeze and strong enough for the batters to pay attention as to which side they must target. More towards the middle - 58 meters and 61 meters square on either side. The straight hit is 80 meters long. The pitch is dry - unsurprisingly, both teams wanted to bat first. Some shoots of green at the top but that's because it was covered for some time and it was prepared for the previous game that wasn't completed. When you get past the grass, it is a bit dusty. Expect it to turn and it could be tough for the batters to just whack the ball out of the ground. 41 sixes have been hit so far here this season. Who plays spin best - that's the question for today.
