    There is so little margin for error here.

    It's only the very edge of a cloud that has stopped us.

  3. The rain has almost stopped already, but consensus among the TMS pundits is that this is likely to be the end of England's innings.

    Namibia will be set a DLS target.

    This rain has come from nowhere. I can't understand it.

    It's heavy too.

  5. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    It seems like this is only a shower, but we will now lose overs. It's majorly disappointing.

  6. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Look at how much blue sky is around. It's everywhere you look.

    Oh no. Rain.

    It starts coming down as the over comes to a close with a couple of twos.

    The ground staff start rushing the covers on, we'll start losing time in the game immediately.

  8. 6 runs

    Eng 77-3

    Moeen takes two immediately, then crashes Bernard Scholtz over long-on for six!

    Motoring from the off.

    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    That's a nice innings by Bairstow. The keeper took the catch a bit crocodile-like. It's an important wicket, but England have the impetus.

    WICKET

    Bairstow c Green b Scholtz 31 (Eng 69-3)

    Bairstow knew he was gone straight away!

    Tries to loft Bernard Scholtz into the off side and skews the ball up into the air, Bairstow barely bothers to run as the keeper runs around to take the catch.

    In comes Moeen Ali.

    Having watched Brook play a fair bit for Yorkshire Vikings and Northern Superchargers, he is hugely rated. Can wallop a big six too!

    It's not a big crowd but they're right behind England.

    These two are being applauded back for two as they charge back and forth.

  13. Eng 69-2

    Two more twos punctuated by a Brook cut that goes for four through third.

    17 runs from the over, that's more like it for England.

  14. Eng 61-2

    Bairstow could have gone there!

    Brook hustles through two with a push into the leg-side field - the ball is thrown to the non-striker's end and bowler Gerhard Erasmus spills the ball and can only break the stumps with his hands.

    JB would have been gone with a clean collection.

  15. 6 runs

    Eng 58-2

    Six more for Jonny!

    He heaves Erasmus over the square boundary, no stopping that.

  16. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    A huge chunk has come out of the top of the surface, which suggests it's a bit tacky and the ball is gripping.

  17. Eng 52-2

    Four more for Brook, getting the ball past the point fielder this time.

    Brassell responds with a couple of deliveries that Brook can't get hold of - solid response.

  18. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    Brook is playing the ball right underneath his eyes, hitting the middle perfectly.

  19. 6 runs

    Eng 48-2

    And this is what Brook can do!

    He smears young seamer Jack Brassell past backward point for two, then lofts over mid-wicket, clearing the ropes and the advertising boarding.

    England need a complete overhaul of players and staff. Maybe Rocky Flintoff should be called up to the next squad!
