  Marco Jansen to Tilak Varma

  3:37 PM

  Wicket! Caught By Quinton de Kock. No Run. A complete waste of a review! Not really sure why Tilak went for a review, was a good length ball outside off, steps out and looks to drive it on the up but gets a faint outside edge through to de Kock who completes a good catch, only 7 balls into the chase and India are already 2 down.
