Virat Kohli is delighted to have first use of a dry Oval pitch. The Indian skipper thinks the deck will be hard and full of runs early and offer turn and variable bounce later.
Aaron Finch admits he would have batted first also, concerned by how dry the pitch is and how that might affect playing conditions later.
