“Interesting looking surface. It’s been that way all tournament. They’ve done a fair bit of rolling, but there’s no live grass to hold it together. It’s fairly hard to start with so I’m hoping the ball comes onto the bat quite nicely.” By Ian Bishop

Hope the weather Gods are shining on us. There is a 30% chance of rain and a strong wind blowing towards fine leg for the left hander and that’s the shortest boundary at 56m. Don’t be surprised if Quinton de Kock targets that boundary or Suryakumar Yadav tries to open up his body. It is a central pitch so fairly even boundaries on all sides. Interesting looking surface, it is hard but there is no live grass. By Ian Bishop & Nasser Hussain

This is a fair pitch which might not have the bounce of St Lucia or the low bounce of Guyana, says he hopes there is even pace and bounce, which is all everyone wants. Nasser added
