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#2ndODI

How ridiculous is this!
Team India require 2 runs to win the 2nd ODI vs South Africa and umpires decide to take LUNCH!

Bizzare! 😂 #SAvIND pic.twitter.com/m7dk69h9po
Scenes if this had happened! :P
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. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 #SAvInd

The South African team during the lunch break...
Meanwhile Experts would be discussing how SouthAfrican Team will be preparing during this Lunch Break to stop India score those 2 Runs from 186 deliveries#SAvIND
