- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 another for Hazlewood! Hazlewood keeps badgering that hard length outside off. A hint of extra bounce and that means van Lingen cannot keep his jab down. Slices it towards Maxwell at backward point, who juggles initially but manages to hold on. Namibia slide into further trouble! 15/32.4 Davin perishes swinging! Slightly shorter and wider outside off. Davin gives himself room, trying to carve it over backward point. Makes contact but does not get the elevation he desires. Picks out Maxwell at backward point and he was never dropping that. Early breakthrough for Australia! 14/13.4 Cummins has his first! Full on middle and off. There to go over the top but Frylinck does not quite get the purchase he is after. Steps outside leg, goes through the line but hits it straight to Marsh at mid off. Namibia lose their second and they are now in a spot of bother! 15/216.2 goes straight up, and Erasmus' stay comes to an end! In the slot just outside off. Erasmus gets into a good position after moving across but gets too much under it. Clinks off the toe-end and goes a mile up. Maxwell runs in from deep mid wicket, tracks it all the way and snaffles up the chance. Namibia nine down now! 72/97.4 huge appeal, not given! Back of a length on middle and off. Jags back sharply and cuts Smit in half. He seems to play all around it and gets rapped on the back leg. Australia discuss and then decide to go upstairs. Did Smit hit it? Looked a touch high too. Okay, so there is no bat involved. The ball did strike Smit on the flap of the back pad, though. All eyes on Ball Tracking now, and it shows the ball would have smashed into the top of leg stump. The decision to review vindicated, and Namibia are four down now! 18/48.5 that is plumb! Fuller, faster and flatter on middle and leg. Green looks for the sweep again but the ball is too full to be playing the stroke. Sneaks under his bat and pings him flush on the back leg. Zampa goes up, and the umpire's finger goes up just as quickly. Half of the Namibian side is now back in the shed! 21/510.3 Wiese bites the dust too! Googly bowled a little shortish on middle and off. Sticks in the surface, spins into Wiese and comes off slower than he expects. He was shaping to work it away into the mid wicket region but the lack of pace means that he can only chip it towards long on. Hazlewood makes up ground to his right, slides across and completes the catch! 31/612.4 six and out! Zampa with the last laugh! Shorter outside off and this seems to skid on just a smidgen. Trumpelmann shapes for the pull but because the ball rushes him, he cannot get enough on it. Maxwell settles under it at deep mid wicket and does the rest! 43/712.6 finishes his spell with an absolute ripper! Beautifully-disguised googly on a length outside off. Drops on the batter late and zings back in off the surface. Scholtz does not read it and has a huge waft at it. Leaves a gap between bat and pad and the ball sneaks through, crashing into off stump! 43/816.6 a superb catch to end the Namibian innings! Australia have rolled them over for 72! Zipped in full on middle and leg. Seems to hold in the surface and Shikongo, trying to work to leg, gets a tame leading edge. David calls for it early, sprints to his left and takes the catch with a slide across the surface. A professional end to a professional bowling display! 72/10Extras9 (b 4, lb 1, w 4)TOTAL72 all out (17 Overs, RR: 4.23)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Nikolaas Davin, 2.4 ov), 2-15 (Jan Frylinck, 3.4 ov), 3-15 (Michael van Lingen, 4.1 ov), 4-18 (JJ Smit, 7.4 ov), 5-21 (Zane Green, 8.5 ov), 6-31 (David Wiese, 10.3 ov), 7-43 (Ruben Trumpelmann, 12.4 ov), 8-43 (Bernard Scholtz, 12.6 ov), 9-72 (Gerhard Erasmus, 16.2 ov), 10-72 (Ben Shikongo, 16.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 Warner falls! Full outside off and Warner was in that kind of mood where he was going after everything. Looks to go downtown but the bat face opens upon contact. Slices it way up and Trumpelmann snares the chance at mid off. Some respite for Namibia! 21/1Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL74/1 (5.4 Overs, RR: 13.05)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (David Warner, 1.4 ov)
