3. Pitch report

Anjum Chopra to official broadcaster: “There was grip, turn and bounce for the spinners in the first game. Today we are playing on pitch number 8. It's a lot more brown. Could allow the batters a bit more time in playing their strokes. Still a good pitch to bat on, but you need to apply yourselves like KL and Litton did in the first game.”
