An 87 run-stand for the second wicket between William Porterfield and skipper Andrew Balbirnie was one of the main highlights.

Pitch Report:

There will be plenty of swing and seam movement in the first hour of play and later the ball comes quite easily onto the bat. Not a lot of turn spinners can expect from this surface. The wicket will become completely flat in the 2^nd half of the match, and hence, bowling first is a good option.
