Marco Jansen Bowled A Reaper To Samson

India were put to bat first once more in the series after Aiden Markram won the third consecutive toss. On the second delivery of the first over, Marco Jansen bowled a peach of delivery. It was a back of a length ball at the off stump line that moved away ever so slightly after pitching. Sanju was looking to defend the ball off the back foot but was beaten by the late movement. The ball clipped the bails of the off stump and ended the keeper-batter's stay in the middle.
