Pitch report: "63m and 62m square boundaries, 74m down the ground. Strong winds coming in from the East. Last 5 games here have been won by the chasing side. Has been a good batting surface. It looks very well prepared, grass is cut very low and its rolled in nicely. Aesthetics look very good. Should be good for 260 or more" suggest Ian Bishop and Nikhil Uttamchandani.

Liam Livingstone: We would've bowled first too. Looks a good pitch, hopefully gets slower later. We've got a group of young boys here, great opportunity for us.

Shai Hope: We're going to bowl first, with this overhead that we have, we want to utilise it best. Conditions could change, want to bat later. We could always improve in all three departments. First we need to adapt to these conditions, Sri Lanka was totally different. One change, Hetmyer comes back.

We have to look at the present and make sure we cover our bases but the bigger picture is the 2027 WC.
