There might be a few more showers hanging around, so it's always a bowl first decisoion at the toss with the DLS being brought into play. The square boundaries are 56m and 62m; the straight boundary is at 84m. A warmish pitch, but it does have a good gras scouring. It's not that hard and should help the seamers with the new ball. Bounce will be even, not too high / low. Not a great deal of pace though, and the odd ball might stop, bringing mistimed drives into play. Hard work for the first 10-12 overs. The ball will seam around, New Zealand will need to bat out that phase while the Indians will look to exploit the conditions, reckons Simon Doull, in his pitch report
