Pitch report - Sunil Gavaskar and Scott Styris say it looks a good wicket, it should have a little more pace and bounce. Reckon there is even grass covering but it just might be a little two-paced.

Further adds being 3-0 up is a great achievement and he wants to end the series well. Ends by saying the players are eager to give their best and they are confident.

Adds further Henry Nicholls will open with Guptill. Ends by saying it is about focusing on their game plan and end on the right side today.
