Pitch report | Ravi Shastri: Pretty overcast and it is very humid. This pitch looks tacky. Normally teams winning the toss bat first. With the rain around, teams might want to do otherwise. There is a darkish look to the pitch which suggests that the covers have been on. It is dry as well. The ball will hold up and turn. The par score is 150, and it shouldn't change much.
Right, Jasprit Bumrah is expected to walk back in tonight, which should help fix the Indian bowling puzzle, that to be fair, is in tatters. A direct swap with Umesh Yadav should do the job. Harshal patel and Bhuvi Kumar would enjoy bowling here as well, and their slower cutters off a back of a length into the pitch, would be a proper handful. Although these aren't even close to the conditions they could expect at the World Cup, getting some confidence back is never a bad thing, however it comes.
