Steve Smith
"Looks better than most of the surfaces we've seen here. I would have bowled first as well because we don't know if dew will be a factor but well, have to bat first and bat well. We haven't played as well as we would have liked here, or anywhere for that matter. Hopefully, we can take confidence from that and move forward. We're unchanged!"
Shreyas Iyer
"We're gonna bowl first. Majority of the sides have won chasing here, so we're going by that. Our side likes chasing these days and that gives confidence for us. One change- Morris in for Lamichhane"
