Pitch Report according to previous Records:

The pitch at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow is traditionally a slow, black-soil surface that offers significant assistance to spinners and slower bowlers. While it has sometimes produced sluggish, low-scoring encounters.

Official Live Pitch Report:

Graeme Swann and Deep Dasgupta: Today's match will be on the composite soil, which is a mixture of black and red. It does look a bit patchy, but however, it does look fairly flat. One thing I will say is it is so hot here today. It's pressing over 40 degrees, and the ground staff have only just taken the sheet off. They've had to keep that on because they're worried about the sun drying this pitch out and making it break up and potentially turn later on.
