PITCH REPORT: It is a belter of wicket
A straight hit is around 79-80 metres at Southampton. Third-man and fine-leg are short, so are the square boundaries. Teams will look to protect the shorter boundaries today, forcing batsman to play straighter. "A beauty," says Ramiz Raza looking at the pitch. "Brown tinge, good for batting. Will spin, although the pitch won't powder. See off the first 5 overs and then bat. Look out for the straight hits!"
