2.2 overs (0 Run) OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! Ayush Badoni has a very nervous look on his face. He looks at his skipper and then reviews the decision. A perfect inswinger from Trent Boult to greet the new batter. It's on a length around off at 138.5 kph. Ayush Badoni shows no footwork as he attempts to work it on the leg side.

A couple of angles are enough to suggest that it's a neat catch. De Kock departs.
