PITCH REPORT - Haysman says there has been a lot of rain and the outfield should be slow. Mentions the wicket is nice and dry, it has been slowing down and the spinners will come into play. Mentions boundaries will be easy to hit with the new ball but it should get difficult as the game progresses.

Shimron Hetmyer says they need to understand the situation a little but first they need to enjoy themselves and play their normal game. Adds he feels this is one of the best batting wickets and they just need to finish the game nicely. Mentions it is about regrouping and doing well in the last last two games.

David Miller says defending such totals against Windies is a big confidence booster, they have powerful hitters but their bowlers have been brilliant. Adds it has been challenging to bat but he takes confidence from the team winning and he hopes he can do well here. States a win here will be a huge confidence booster and it will be a good confidence booster.

It has started to drizzle! It is not very heavy but the covers are on.
