All set for the start. One slip in place...
Hasaranga: If I won the toss I would have batted first. Our batsmen should take more responsibility and especially in the middle overs looking forward to some positive batting. We have one change. Nuwan Thushara is out and Madushanka is in.
Raza: We are gonna bowl first today. There will be something at the start and to me it looks like a two-paced wicket
Pitch report: "It is on the drier side, there is more grass on it as well. Bowlers will have to vary the pace. Team batting first should target at least 160. There is no dew at the moment," reckons Russel Arnold.
