The umpires are making their way to the middle now, and it would be tough work for the Indian bowlers early in the afternoon. It is going to be hot, humid, and hard work. But then they will get some assistance from the wicket too.

Looks like a very good wicket. Would've batted first as well. Was pretty hot in the last match and it's going to be no different here. It's about being consistent in the areas we're looking at. We'll be chasing in this match, and chasing big scores consistently and comfortably is one area where we haven't quite ticked the box yet. That's what we'll be looking at today
