Our stats man tells us that this is the fourth time in the last 7 matches that the captain winning toss has decided to bat first; it happened only once in the 29 matches prior to it.

Purnima, our correspondent in Mohali, says that there are only about a thousand people at the ground up until now.

Vijay: "We will bat first. The wicket is dry and won't change much. Just want to use the conditions and put up a score. It's about playing the cricket which we want to play and putting the opposition under pressure."

Warner: "We were going to bowl anyway. During the day anything could happen, it could be a nice batting wicket or it could be low and slow. A loss in the last game was a minor hiccup and it's about coming here fresh."
