  1. Eng 1-0

    That's a cracking over from David Wiese - just a single from it.

    Salt takes another big cross the line air shot at Wiese's second ball, but gets off the mark from the following ball, dropping the ball into the covers and hurrying through a single.

    Jos Buttler comes onto strike, prods at his first ball then can only take a couple of wafts at two swinging deliveries.

    Will Jacks for Sam Curran seems like another big call that could affect Mott and Buttler's reign.

    Because of the shape David Wiese is getting on the ball, Phil Salt thinks the ball is coming into his midriff but it's moving away from him.

  4. Eng 0-0

    Phil Salt, sporting some elaborate strapping around his right elbow, does some shadow batting prior to getting under way.

    David Wiese has the ball in hand, one slip in place. Salt takes a big swing across the line at his first delivery, but is through the shot early and makes no contact.

    I'm off to the TMS box to have words with Geoff after that comment (20:58 BST).

    I think we're safe with the rain now...

  9. Matthew Henry

    I can't work out the logic in picking Sam Curran over Will Jacks.

    Any ideas?

  10. Evening.

    I'm trying to get my head around this match actually being played.

    I'd mentally consigned this game to the dustbin a few hours ago.

  11. Right then, it's good to have some cricket. I'm off to find the rest of my brew. Here's Mike Peter.

  12. I wonder if all the batters could retire out, though. Loophole.

  13. Afraid not, Dave. No declarations in limited-overs cricket.

    Can you declare in T20? If England score very highly and weather is looking ominous could that be an option?

  15. Michael Atherton, doing his pitch report on the telly, says the weather is arriving from the part of the sky that is blue and clear. In Athers we trust.

  16. 'We need to adapt to the conditions'

    England captain Jos Buttler: "It's been frustrating, delighted we're getting a game on. We would have done the same [at the toss].

    "I think we need to adapt to the conditions. 11 overs, that's why we made the changes.

    "Every team is dangerous, especially in these shortened games."

    Two changes for England. Interesting ones, too. No Mark Wood and Will Jacks. In come Chris Jordan and Sam Curran.

  18. Namibia win the toss and field

    Gerhard Erasmus gets the better of the coin. No surprises on his decision. Pressure on England.

  19. Anyway, here's the toss...

  20. Boss has just made a brew. Not full. Where's the rest of it?

    He's just revealed that he used to make them for his grandad, who would send it back if it wasn't good enough. Higgo clearly didn't learn anything.
