Pitch report:

It is one of those surface which generally assists the stroke-makers as they are aided with short boundaries all around the park. This could well be a same situation where the batsmen might get good runs under their belt. The seamers do get some purchase in the later half of the game but the surface predominantly assists the batsmen.
