Pitch is right in the center of the ground. 66m either side of the square of the wicket. Straight down the ground 74m. It's the same pitch that was used for World Cup final, it's a black soil. England will know that India struggled when they batted first in the Final. If you tap it, it's not that hard. It hasn't really warmed up yet, expect it to be dry. There are lot of cracks along this wicket, means there'll always be something in it for the spinners. It's one of those pitches if the batter gets in, he can make it big but if the new batter comes in, it'll be tough to get themselves going. It's hot and humid, there'll be a lot of evaporation. Dew factor have to be taken into account. It's easy to bat second.
