WATCH : Jansen produces jaffa casts in-form Samson’s for golden duck

The toss went in favor of South African captain Aiden Markram, who chose to field first in overcast conditions, a decision that paid off handsomely.

Marco Jansen, known for his deadly new-ball skills, made an immediate impact, striking in his very first over.

Sanju Samson, who had scored a century in the previous game, lasted only three balls, undone by a beauty from the tall pacer.

Samson attempted to create room by moving towards the leg side from the second delivery, but that maneuver proved costly. Jansen bowled a fuller-than-usual delivery on middle stump, which seamed just enough to beat Samson’s inside edge and shatter the leg stump.

Samson, attempting a lofted drive, misjudged the line and paid the price. The Kerala batter’s back-to-back centuries were followed by a golden duck, leaving Twitter abuzz with sympathy for him.
