Pitch Report | Darren Ganga: We have moved over to pitch number 7 and the grass out here is a lot thinner. So don't expect a lot of seam movement, but we could get some swing with the new ball. The earlier game saw plenty of swing, even Mujeeb got the ball to angle in sharply. This is surely a pitch where chasing would be better.
