Pitch Report and Weather Conditions : It looks like a sunny day at Mumbai with conditions looking humid. The pitch has a brownish look to it with some grass cover just to bind the surface. It’s expected to break up as the game progresses to help the spinners. The pitch has also enough moisture to encourage the seamers in the first hour or so. Swing will be a key factor in this Test match because of the ground being not far away from the sea.
