Pitch Report by Nasser Hussain

'There is more grass in this surface. It was under covers the entire day yesterday due to rain. It's a brown coloured pitch and the team winning the toss will bowl first. A heavy gale is blowing across and it will be a tough day for the layers' - reckons Nasser Hussain
