not sure if anyone who is commenting here watching the match or not, the pitch is playing slow. Inzy mentioned this in the morning. It is hard to hit the slow bowlers. That is why India did not reach 300 runs.

I am also watching the game live. I totally agree with Salil here. The pitch is flattish, certainly nothing to restrict us to 3 rpo.
