There's a very bright sun, burst of warmth. This wicket was a bit slow the other night, might quicken up today because it is harder. They might look to take the pace off the ball because the pitch is so dry. Only problem with the spinners is that one of them will have to bowl from the Member's End. That is a really short boundary - around 70-75 meters. Batting down the Member's End towards long on is a longer hit. Good pitch, there's pace, but barely any grass on it. Lovely day for batting, the spinners and the cutters might play their part, reports Mark Nicholas.
