The mercury has gone past 40 degrees and it's very warm. We're right in the middle of the square - 65m square boundaries and the straight boundary is at 76m. There will be a lot of runs on this pitch - it's apt to mention about the weather, this stage of the tournament, little bit of fatigue, little bit of mental and physical, you'd say. The pitch looks flat as a pancake, it's rock hard and the grass is nicely rolled onto the wicket. There is no live grass on the surface. There has been only one game this year on this surface. 228 was what the Royals scored and it was chased down with 9 balls to spare. If you win the toss, you'll be chasing, if you don't, a score upward of 230 is required, reckon Eoin Morgan and Danny Morrison, in their pitch report.
