34.6
Pretorius to Santner, out Santner Run Out!! Quite sensational from Duminy. Wow. He's created a wicket out of nothing. The ball was steered to his right at backward point and he is onto it in a flash. At this point, both batsmen are out of their crease watching the ball. De Grandhomme eventually turns down the single but it's too late for Santner. Duminy's work is only half done though. He's got to hit the stumps direct with just one stump to aim at. And he does. Santner run out (Duminy) 24(50) [4s-3]
