Aryan Dutt to Louren Steenkamp, out Stumped!! Aryan Dutt strikes! 94.6kph, quicker and shorter, Steenkamp shimmies down the track to force it through the off-side. He's nowhere close to the pitch of the ball. Looks to punch it through the covers and gets beaten on the outside edge as the ball goes on straight.
