Not the preview thread, match starting in a moment i think.
2.42 pm Rain. The covers come on in a rush. Just a drizzle, though.
Toss Malik has won the toss and will bat. "It's a good track, it might get turn later. We have worked hard in the practice in the last two days, we will give our 100%" What a massive roar when Malik went up to Ramiz to speak first, Pakistan have more crowd support at the moment!
Dhoni: The track should slow down a bit. Ishant comes in for RP.
George Binoy, our man at the ground, has the weather update for us: "Weather was sunny but it's become cloudy now. We might have some rain soon but it's nothing to worry about at the moment."
And he adds, "Crowd is filling in, it's already more than the number present before the start of the India-Bangladesh match."
The two captains, the ICC, the BCB have agreed to change the ball at the end of the 30th over, instead of the 34th, because it has been getting too discoloured too soon.
