4.42pm: Happily that squawly shower has blown through, and we should be able to resume shortly.

4.40pm: The big covers are now on. Zane Green (28 off 27) says the wicket was two-paced but is happy with what the team managed to cobble together: "We feel good about it after the wickets in the Powerplay. It was a great innings from the captain Gerhard Erasmus. His intensity batting on the wicket, he made sure the bad balls had to be put away. He was very positive."

MikeB: "Decent death bowling effort from Scotland, arresting the momentum just a Namibia were starting to get going. Hope they don't get foiled by the rain again!"

4.33pm: Well, it's a competitive score after a pretty average start from Namibia. Scotland need 156 to win

Wheal to Scholtz, 2 runs, Short and slow again, hacked out to midwicket and they do get a couple. And now it has started raining as both sets of players make their way off the field. Hard rain, too, with the covers coming on.

Wheal to Scholtz, 2 runs, Into the pitch, off cutter, pulled to square leg and two scampered... and it's eventually confirmed as two as it looked like Scholtz' bat was jammed before it could break the line. But he's good
19.4
W
Wheal to Smit, 1 run, OUT, Similar delivery, dug out to long on. Comfortable single.... hold up, Smit wants two... and now he's decided against it and Wheal has the bails are off! The intention was sound, but that was poor

JJ Smit run out 11 (9m 8b 0x4 1x6) SR: 137.50

19.3
1
Wheal to Scholtz, 1 run, Full, straight, just short of a yorker length and punched down the ground, beyond the grasp of Wheal
19.2
1
Wheal to Smit, 1 run, Short, no pace on it though and the pull shot skips away to deep square leg
19.1
6
Wheal to Smit, SIX, And Smit starts with a biggie! Pits the length ball, holds his shape and launches it over straight midwicket. Helped by the breeze, but it was a well-judged and well-executed shot

Brad Wheal to bowl the final over. JJ Smit on strike...

Currie to Scholtz, 1 run, Back of a length, Scholtz plays this with his weight back, dabbing into the covers and pinching a single
18.2
W
Currie to Trumpelmann, OUT, Scotland turning the screw at the death! It's a valiant attempt at a six to the leg side, but the wind holds it up and allows it to drop just inside sponge, into the hands of Wheal

R Trumpelmann c Wheal b Currie 1 (5m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

18.1
1
Currie to Smit, 1 run, Straights with a good length delivery on about middle and off, driven down the ground to long off

1
Wheal to Smit, 1 run, Another variation into the pitch, spits up at Smit who manages to get it away to square leg. The first single is comfortable enough for the pair to consider a sceond, but a tartan shirt is quick on the scene and puts them off
17.5
W
Wheal to Green, OUT, Width, across the left-hander, who looks to clear mid off with some footwork down the pitch and to the legside... but straight to the fielder! Outstanding over from Wheal.

ZE Green c Jones b Wheal 28 (39m 27b 1x4 1x6) SR: 103.70

17.4

Wheal to Trumpelmann, 1 run, Short, edged off the underside and into the leg side by Trumpelmann
17.3
W
Wheal to Wiese, OUT, Width, full outside off and Wiese goes for the big shot... and loops off the outside edge down to Watt at third! That's a big, big wicket heading into the final throes of this innings

D Wiese c Watt b Wheal 14 (14m 13b 0x4 1x6) SR: 107.69

1
Wheal to Green, 1 run, Test match length outside off from over the wicket, driven out to deep cover off the back foot

1
Wheal to Wiese, 1 run, Was that a knuckle ball to start? Grips off the pitch as Wiese tries to use the pace to drive down the ground. Skewed to mid on

Brad Wheal - 1 for 17 from his first two overs - returns for the death

Watt to Wiese, 1 run, Watt holds this one back, Wiese goes to charge and reacts to the lack of pace with a push to midwicket for a single

Watt to Green, 1 run, Lovely shape, flighted outside off, Green strikes this cleanly but out to deep midwicket on the bounce
16.2

Watt returns for his final over
