Ball stops and turns..he tries to dispatch it over long off ands he's caught there! 4/111.2 picks out the fielder at deep square leg! Baard has been trying to get a move on but picks the wrong ball to slog sweep. It's turning away from him after pitching outside off, and he just hits it straight to the fielder on the boundary. Van der Merwe is pumped! 63/45.2 Back-of-a-length delivery and the ball is seaming away.. it grazes through the bat and he is caught behind! 32/318.2 that's gone straight to the man at long on! Frylinck aims for another six but mis-times the slower offcutter, dragging it from outside off straight to the fielder ... Frylinck goes after a sedate, strange innings 104/518.4 has he outside edged the ball on to his stumps here? Indeed he has. Erasmus moved outside leg stump to hit through the off side, de Leede followed him and cramped the batter for room, Erasmus tried to run the ball down to third man but got an outside edge that crashed into off stump 105/6Extras7 (lb 3, w 4)TOTAL121/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.05)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Divan la Cock, 1.2 ov), 2-30 (Michael van Lingen, 4.5 ov), 3-32 (Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, 5.2 ov), 4-63 (Stephan Baard, 11.2 ov), 5-104 (Jan Frylinck, 18.2 ov), 6-105 (Gerhard Erasmus, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.5 run out by a direct hit from mid off! That's sensational fielding! The ball was full and straight, O'Dowd pushed towards mid off and set off for a single. The fielder Erasmus came sprinting in, picked up cleanly and threw down the stumps at the non-striker's end with the batter well out of his crease 92/28.2 Scholtz strikes! Short ball, hit too flat off the back foot as the fielder at deep midwicket boundary completes a simple catch. Vikramjit depart for a 31-ball 39 59/115.3 caught at deep midwicket! Cooper lofts the ball high but can't get the distance, he holes out while trying to get these runs quickly 101/315.5 another one falls! Ackermann steps out and tries to hit the ball hard down the ground, he ends up slicing it and the ball goes straight to mid off 101/416.4 gone, chipped to short cover! Namibia on a roll in the death overs. This was almost on its way, with Edwards struggling to keep up with the slower deliveries. This one was again bowled full and outside off, and with a change of pace. Edwards, almost as if running out of patience, leaned forward only to end up pushing it to the man stationed close in at cover. A soft dismissal in the end, as he even lost his bottom hand 102/5Extras3 (nb 1, w 2)TOTAL122/5 (19.3 Overs, RR: 6.25)Fall of wickets: 1-59 (Vikramjit Singh, 8.2 ov), 2-92 (Max O'Dowd, 13.5 ov), 3-101 (Tom Cooper, 15.3 ov), 4-101 (Colin Ackermann, 15.5 ov), 5-102 (Scott Edwards, 16.4 ov)
