We are going to have a bowl. It was tough batting first. We need to take the positives from the first game, we need to stay in the battle a bit longer today. The dew factor did play in the last game. We are playing two off-spinners. Michael van Lingen comes in for Pikky Ya France.
Russel Arnold is down for the pitch report. He says that the pitch is nice and hard. Adds that 155 would be the par score on this wicket. Ian Bishop says that when Sri Lanka played here, their spinners targeted the stumps and maybe that is the way to go on this pitch.
