Ricky Ponting who is up for an interview says he is happy with the start as it looks a very good wicket. Further adds there is also dew around so he would be happy if they keep them down to 170. Mentions the bowlers have to bowl a good length here and Gill is playing a good innings but they have good pacers to pull things back. States they will look to not bowl Rabada anymore and hold him for the back end for Russell. Credits the way Iyer has been doing as a captain and says he is a terrific young guy. He hopes to win the game here, they won the toss and they would hope to chase whatever they post. Ends by saying he is enjoying the role of a coach so far, loves the atmosphere and he is relishing the opportunity in coaching in the best League in the world.
