“Well, out in the middle, the sun is beating down currently. We have had a lot of rain in the last 12 hours here, but the good news is it has cleared. We might see a little bit of overcast weather coming through, highest of about 25 degrees, with that humidity getting up to 84%. Then the dimensions for today’s game, the longest is straight back down the ground, 74 meters straight, but square of the wicket is 65 meters, and over to the short side is 62, and the shortest is 57. Really good to see a pitch like this. The wet conditions we mentioned, this looks a dry one. It will be on the slower side. There will be enough bounce, but it’s all about controlling the pace when you bowl. Let the batter come at you. I think England will need around 175 to put some pressure on the Sri Lankan batting, because this pitch will stay the same,” Eoin Morgan and Russel Arnold said.
