Quotes:

Virat Kohli: It's a used pitch, we see it slowing down. There are a few rough patches at the right spots for our wrist spinners. A lot more application, understanding the situation. When there's a 50-60 partnership, make it into a big one. I think closing out situations and capitalising on them will be the key. Same team.

Jason Holder: We wanted to bat too well. Hopefully we get early wickets. We have got two changes. Sunil Ambris comes in for Lewis and Fabian Allen comes in for Nurse. Evin's struggling for the last couple of days.
