    10.2 Monank finds long-on! Myburgh has a second. Again just enough grip with the legbreak, with Monank looking to piledrive it down the ground. Comes off the toe of the bat and sails high for a comfortable catch for Smit walking in. A fine knock by the skipper, but he's done 89/2
    6.5 slogged, but this won't go far... taken! This was the legspinner, slightly slower at 89kph and it takes the top edge as Jahangir heaves for the hills. Spoons up towards mid-on, and it's a simple catch inside the ring. Myburgh gets the much-needed breakthrough for Namibia 68/1
    11.4 Mukkamalla holes out now! Good work from Loftie-Eaton on the rope, taking the catch and tossing it up as he stepped out of bounds, before crossing the rope again to complete the dismissal. Erasmus strikes after an expensive start. Flat offbreak and Mukkamalla couldn't get enough on a cross-batted heave 103/3

    19.2 Milind finds long-off! Sidearm delivery, no pace or bounce to work with, and he scoops the lofted drive into the safe hands of Smit. Erasmus gets a second... but he might be wondering why he didn't come on earlier and bowl his full quota 190/4

    12.3 offcutter, wide outside off, picks out backward point! Huge moment. Ranjane celebrates with his arms stretched wide. Sat up and asked to be hit, and Steenkamp had so much room to work with in the deep on the off side. But he miscued his cut, and picked out the man square of the wicket 112/3
    5.2 miscued straight back, SvS strikes yet again! Hard length, Frylinck looks to repeat the trick but the ball plinks off the splice and loops up for the simplest of return catches. 12th wicket of the World Cup for van Schalkwyk 54/1
    10.3 reverse-lapped straight to short third! Low full toss angling in, Loftie-Eaton looks to flip it away over his left shoulder in the knowledge that short third is up on the edge of the ring, but he can only scoop it into his hands! 99/2
    14.4 nicked off, what a grab! Pace on, 79mph/128kph in the channel outside off, just full of a length. Erasmus was looking to drive through the off side, and his thick outside edge flew quickly to Jahangir behind the stumps. He dived quickly to his right to snaffle the chance, and van Schalkwyk has yet another wicket at this World Cup! 123/4
    19.5 slower-ball bouncer, loops up to Jahangir behind the stumps! Speared in halfway down, and Smit is through his shot very early 168/6
    17.6 reverse-lapped over short third! Shin-high full toss angling down the leg side, Green gets into his stance early and cross-bats over the infield 149/5
