The conditions are slightly overcast but that won't mean there will be help for the pacers. West Indies players have already taken the field. Nissanka is back in the side and is walking out with Avishka. Forde has the new ball. One slip in place.
Pitch Report ft. Russel Arnold: It has suddenly gone a bit gloomy. There might be a bit of rain here and there. Fresh pitch today, so the dimensions are even on either side. Dry pitch. Lots of cracks but they are bound nicely together. There won't be a lot of turn and as it gets cooler in the evening, it (the ball) will slide on.
Charith Asalanka:I think 250-260 would be a good score. I would have batted first. He (Nishan Madushka) didn't play as debutant and he will do a lot of good things for the country. We have two changes.
