Radio saying the pitch was well watered and a little damp. While that might stop it from breaking up if we get a heatwave, it's going to mark, so batting first might be tough, but it could better to avoid batting last.

Of course, India might bat once, bat big.
I always say that everybody's right.

Yadav has been a bit wayward. Sharma having the ball move but just struggling tocontrol it a little.

not a bad over though from him.
probably came in because of the left handers at the crease.
