Kohli: "We will bowl first. During the Test, the wicket played slowish durinf the afternoon session and we're playing in the afternoon. Whole idea is to get the best of batting conditions. It's been nine years and 300 games for the country. It's a huge honour. I try to give my best and today is not different. Dhawan is such an instinctive player. When his head is clear, the bowling or the pitch doesn't matter.

Tharanga: "Looks a good wicket. First game we had a good start but we didn't capitalize after that. We need to do the same thing (referring to Dhawan's aggression). We have three changes."
