We've moved from pitch number 8 to pitch number 7, that means, there's slight change in dimensions. It's 58m square hit, 69 long hit, and a 51m hit behind the square. We're going to see something similar, good pace, good carry. There are a couple of little patches here and there, with few little cracks you might see some seam. Only 8% of the balls are hitting the balls, so the bowlers need to focus on that. Bowlers need to hit the hard lengths more where the batters have found it hard. Keep the stumps in play, make sure you hit the hard lengths. Generally 178 is good and a winning score batting first.
