MOHALI, Oct 19 (PTI): The third one-dayer between India and England at the PCA stadium here will be played on a �typical� Mohali pitch, which promises to produce an even contest between bat and ball, curator Daljit Singh said today.

Mohali, one of India�s finest cricket stadia, is known for its pace and bounce that subsides as the match progresses, making the affair an even contest.

And Daljit claimed this time also there won�t be much of a difference. �It is a typical Mohali track. There is grass on it which we have deliberately kept but the wicket will look completely different tomorrow,� Daljit said during a guided tour of the pitch to the mediapersons. �The thinner the grass, the faster the ball will come to the bat. But from now onwards the cracks will open up and the pitch will become much whiter and dryer. It is a typical wicket, a good batting track,� added Daljit.
