Pitch Condition: The team batting under lights may have to deal with extra pace and good carry, better, according to Bangladesh bowling coach Heath Streak, than what the batsmen may face in the afternoon session. There is very little chance of weather interrupting the game, with temperature forecast to be in the mid-twenties throughout the day.
