: Sun is out, perfect conditions. This pitch was used during the T20Is. 90 mm rain fell yesterday. It does feel soft, has got a dry crust on it. They might not be going for bounce throws. The main surface has browned off and rolling has been done. It still doesn't look particularly hard, it will be interesting to see how it plays in the second innings. There is a softness under the top layer, might be some movement for the pacers. This could actually turn as well. Conditions pretty good out there but could be another tough day for the batters.
