  1. 6 runs

    Nam 12-0

    Target 127 (10 overs)

    How's that got there?

    Van Lingen isn't really looking at this Archer short ball, but somehow top-edges over the keeper for six.

  2. Nam 2-0

    Target 127 (10 overs)

    Remember, England need to bowl five overs for a match.

  3. Nam 2-0

    Target 127 (10 overs)

    Jofra.

  4. Geoff Lemon

    The degree of difficulty rises very quickly with this sort of target.

  5. Nam 2-0

    Target 127 (10 overs)

    Very good start.

    On another note, my other half asked me if I want a strimmer as a Father's Day present. I'm 39. This is what life has become.

  6. Nam 1-0

    Target 127 (10 overs)

    Swing in the middle. Calypso in the stands. Lovely stuff.

  7. Nam 1-0

    Target 127 (10 overs)

    Not sure what pub cricket you've played, Geoff. It's brutal where I come from.

  8. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    This is like pub cricket. Ten overs a side and you can't get out off the first ball.

  9. Nam 1-0

    Target 127 (10 overs)

    Missed it.

  10. Nam 1-0

    Target 127 (10 overs)

    No-ball to start. Not ideal. Free hit too.

  11. Namibia need 127 to win

    Winviz

    Reece Topley has the ball. Michael van Lingen and Nikolaas Davin are at the crease.

  12. That was a good effort by England. It feels like a lot for Namibia to chase. Also, England have boosted their bowling options. Four seamers in there to try and take advantage of a tacky pitch.

  13. Thank you, Michael. Get the brews in.

  14. No time for much of an interval, England's bowlers are out warming up.

    Here's Stephan Shemilt to take you through the second innings.

    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    England are in a brilliant position, especially when they only took one from the first over.

  16. England's Jonny Bairstow: "It felt good. You have to assess the pitch, even though it's a 10-over game. It's a nice total to try to defend.

    "There was some swing and the pitch sweated a bit. It held in the surface. We'll try to utilise our skills and use our brains.

    "You just let Brooky bat. We've known each other for a long while. It was about remaining calm."

  17. Well, that turned out reasonably well?

    England dropped to 13-2 after 13 balls following some excellent bowling from David Wiese, and lost an over to rain.

    But their middle-order struck some lusty blows to set-up a target that will likely be between 125-130.

  18. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    I'm a bit concerned for Liam Livingstone. He's walking off holding his side.

  19. wicket

    WICKET

    Livingstone run out (Eng 122-5)

    Had to do it. Final ball and Livingstone tries to take a second run after knocking a yorker down the ground, ball goes to the keeper who has an easy run out.

    Livingstone walks off looking like he's in some pain - he was swinging wildly in that over.

  20. Eng 121-4

    Oh dear.

    Swing and a miss at wide-ish delivery from Trumpelmann and Brook calls Livingstone through for a single.

    There's a shy from the keeper that's collected by the bowler, who then unnecessarily throws at the non-striker's end, no-one's backing up and England's batters can come back for two.
