- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.3 pitched in line, Ura goes for the strong sweep and misses! Huge appeal and given! 33/26.3 pitched slightly outside off, Toka goes back into the crease and misses the ball while trying to cut it! First breakthrough for Namibia! 23/121.4 this one is straight up in the air and Erasmus comfortably takes the catch at mid-wicket. 83/329.2 Siaka goes for the sweep, top edge, and Erasmus takes the catch at short mid-wicket. It could have been a collison between Erasmus and Green. 114/449.5 short ball, slower in pace, outside off, Amini plays with a horizontal bat straight into the hands of Smit! Comfortable catch there for Smit! 217/835.5 trapped right in front of the stumps! Doriga missed the line of the ball and it hit him on the back foot, potentially clipping top of the off stump. 139/539.3 Soper tries to go over the 30 yard circle but only manages to hold off to the fielder at mid-off! 147/647.2 goes for another big shot, only to hold out to the fielder at long on who takes an excellent catch running in about 15 yards! 195/7Extras19 (lb 4, w 15)TOTAL219/8 (50 Overs, RR: 4.38)Did not bat: N PokanaFall of wickets: 1-23 (Gaudi Toka, 6.3 ov), 2-33 (Tony Ura, 9.3 ov), 3-83 (Assad Vala, 21.4 ov), 4-114 (Lega Siaka, 29.2 ov), 5-139 (Kiplin Doriga, 35.5 ov), 6-147 (Chad Soper, 39.3 ov), 7-195 (Norman Vanua, 47.2 ov), 8-217 (Charles Amini, 49.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10 goes for the uppish drive there, looking to clear the infield, but holds out to the fielder at cover point! 32/111.1 gone! Batsman had no clue what happened there. Even the fielding side was not sure for a moment until the bails came off! 36/234.4 short, leg side, pulled away but wait...straight into the hands of the fielder at long leg who takes an excellent catch! 160/341.5 short, pulled, and an excellent catch in the deep to get rid of the danger man! Erasmus goes for 88. A beautiful innings from the Namibian skipper comes to an end. Can Williams see through to the end now? 190/535.2 another blow for Namibia! Green goes for reverse sweep and misses! 161/445.5 Pokana provides the break! Cleans up Frylinck but reckon an over too late for the strike? 209/6Extras8 (b 1, lb 2, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL222/6 (48.2 Overs, RR: 4.59)Fall of wickets: 1-32 (Stephan Baard, 9.6 ov), 2-36 (Karl Birkenstock, 11.1 ov), 3-160 (JP Kotze, 34.4 ov), 4-161 (Zane Green, 35.2 ov), 5-190 (Gerhard Erasmus, 41.5 ov), 6-209 (Jan Frylinck, 45.5 ov)
