It's the same surface that was used the last evening. The dimensions don't change - pretty much loaded - slightly shorter hit on one side, long at the other. 70 straighter boundary, essential to time the ball while hitting down the ground. There's no wear or tear, hard surface, it is going to skid. We've seen that in the previous game. The ball might keep a little low, there are cracks visible, bowlers might get some turn bowling on these areas. Teams batting first have started cautiously in the powerplay. But once the dew factor comes in play from 8 pm, they are using the middle phases to accelerate. Still something for the spinners if they bowl tight in the middle overs. You would want to bat first, reports Anjum Chopra and Mithali Raj.
