Little bit of dew settling in, not heavy to notice. If you are batting first and if you are not getting the pace off the pitch, don’t fight in.

* A loss for RR will mean they might finish on 14 points (if they win their next 3 matches) which might still allow them to qualify. Their Net Run Rate which is the 2nd worst might be a concern
