PITCH REPORT

 "A good grass covering, but white grass and not a tinge of green, so not much movement expected. A few grassy patches and some bare patches. Could be a two-paced surface. The ball might stop and misbehave a little bit. Quite a cool surface so there might be some assistance for the bowlers, but in general this should be a good surface for the batsmen", reckons Shaun Pollack
