  IND vs ENG Live: Pitch report

  More of the same here today. Still got a bit of colour, still a green tinge that suggests there's some moisture. The cracks haven't gotten bigger though. Just a little bit of disintegration on the edges of some of the cracks and that's what the spinners will be looking at, still very little for the bowlers though. Reverse swing might be the only thing that encourages the bowlers but that doesn't have much to do with the surface.
