Few balls into the game and this happened!
massive luck first up for de Kock, de Kock rode the bounce and defended it extremely late, the ball bounced past him and then spun back towards the stumps, just about hit the leg-stump, but the bails didn't fall

As India has batted for just 19 overs, IF it rains heavily during the lunch break and no further play is possible, the match will be a no result. Archaic rules for Lunch and DLS. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
