#3 Pitch likely to quicken up
Ad

With the sun beating down and the heavy roller used on the pitch, it is expected to quicken up on Days 2 and 3. India would be batting for the major part of these days. This would make runs relatively difficult to come by.
The pitch may not go through any drastic changes but these little things do matter in a game full of attrition. It is already known that bowlers such as Rabada and Philander can make the best of even an iota of assistance from the surface.
