England win by 41 runs (DLS method)
Buttler's side through to Super 8s if Australia beat Scotland on Sunday (01:30 BST)
If Scotland win or there is a washout, they go through instead of England
Namibia were chasing DLS-adjusted 126 off 10 overs
Buttler bowled for a duck in second over & Salt also falls cheaply

Stephan, I have a strimmer which uses a particular battery and today my wife early-gifted me the matching mower for Father’s Day so I could cut the grass this afternoon. I’m 32. I was elated.

Strimmer... be grateful. I am 59 and my daughter offered to buy me a Zimmer.

Target 127 (10 overs)
Ooofff, that's meaty. Touch wide from Jordan and Davin pokes it over point for six.

Elliott: Good luck to NaStrimmibia.
Target 127 (10 overs)
It's been suggested a half-moon edger is better than a strimmer. That's thrown me. Chris Jordan is England's fourth seamer.

It's when you need a strimmer for ear and nose hair that you really need to worry.

That's the only place their boundaries have come from - top edge over the keeper.
Target 127 (10 overs)
That's four, though. Davin gets a thick edge that third man Reece Topley can't stop. We're six balls away from a match.
Target 127 (10 overs)
This curious from Namibia. Going nowhere. For some humpty, have a look what Harry Brook got up to...
Target 127 (10 overs)
Now this is quite dull. I've got a particular battery-powered mower. There's a strimmer you can buy that uses the same battery. That's the one I'm after.
Sam Curran is bowling.

The Strimmer. Did you specify what type you wanted? Corded, petrol, battery? We need specifics!
Ross, Cornwall
Target 127 (10 overs)
Very good from Topley. He's bowled his two and only gone for six. One of those was a no-ball.
Steven Finn
Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds
Because Jofra has that extra pace, even when the pitch is stoppy, an edge can really fly. Topley though, is bowling at around 80.
Target 127 (10 overs)
Topley is bowling his second. The fact Namibia are barely hitting the ball is speeding things along for England.

Ed Douglas: Take the strimmer. I’m 58. It doesn’t get any better.

Liam Livingstone is likely off with an ice pack on that side strain.

Liam Livingstone is not on the field. He seemed to tweak something while batting.
Ben Duckett is fielding at cover.
Target 127 (10 overs)
So far, so good for England. 18 more deliveries needed, then at least the rain is beaten.

England had to win the last three games of the 2019 World Cup group stage. Has the weather handed us that same jittery incentive?
