    Namibia have really turned the screw in that over.

  2. Sco 108-4 (target 156)

    Those last two overs have somewhat eased the pressure, taken the handbrake off - however you want to put it.

    Bernard Scholtz is the man Namibia want to try and break up this partnership. It's just four singles off the over and the run rate jumps up again.

    Pressure back on. Great recovery.

  3. Scotland have been behind the rate all the way through this chase, but they have just about caught up after that flurry of boundaries.

  4. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    That's out of the ground.

    Another great shot.

  5. 6 runs

    Sco 102-4 (target 156)

    And another! Michael Leask this time!

    That was outside off from Gerhard Erasmus but Leask was able to get down on one knee and power it back across the leg side. That was all timing.

  6. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    That's more like it for Scotland.

    There's a bit more life about them now, led by Berrington.

  7. 6 runs

    Sco 94-4 (target 156)

    That's big from Richie Berrington. It's bigger than that, it's large!

    He sweeps Lungamene away, down on one knee and high over the leg side boundary.

    His next is prodded away for a two-bounce four. That's much more like it.

  8. Sco 82-4 (target 156)

    Richie Berrington swats one away but it's only two runs.

    One point against England was decent, despite the washout. However, it will mean very little if they do not find victory tonight against Namibia.

  9. Brandon McMullen looked good out in the middle, before he was stumped in slightly village circumstances.

    Here's how he went...

  10. Sco 76-4 (target 156)

    Namibia are getting through these overs very quickly, and they have Scotland in a real stranglehold.

    Gerhard Erasmus appeals, almost catching Richie Berrington with a similar delivery to the one that got rid of Cross, but there's no review.

    He clips the next ball over point and it rolls away for four.

    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    Cross doesn't even think about reviewing it.

    It looks pretty adjacent from the angle I've got.

    WICKET

    Cross lbw Scholtz 3 (Sco 73-4)

    With the final ball of the over, Cross falls.

    He's caught lbw, trying to sweep the ball away but missing completely, with the ball smacking his back leg straight in front.

    Michael Leask comes in.

  13. Sco 73-3 (target 156)

    Matthew Cross is the new batter in for Scotland. He and Richie Berrington have a real job to do if they are to nudge Scotland back on top.

  14. Sco 69-3 (target 156)

    Brilliant stuff from Erasmus, who closes out his over with a couple of dots.

    Scotland need 87 from 10 overs.

    Andrew Petrie will guide you through the remainder of the chase.

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

    That is sloppy from McMullen.

  16. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport in Barbados

    On his way off, he's taking forever to go. He's bashing the grass, scraping it with his bat. He looks a forlorn figure. He looks emotional at what he's done.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    McMullen st Green b Erasmus 19 (Sco 67-3)

    This is really poor from Brandon McMullen.

    He plays and misses at Gerhard Erasmus, clearly doesn't realise his foot is out of his crease, and Zane Green has time to whip off the bails despite a fumble.

  18. Sco 64-2 (target 156)

    A decent over for Scotland - eight from it, including a lovely shot back down the ground from McMullen.

    I'd love to provide more detail, but the tv pictures disappeared for a second there.

  19. Sco 56-2 (target 156)

    Brandon McMullen takes six runs from the final two balls of Erasmus' over, with a powerful sweep for four before a thick edge brings a couple more.

  20. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    It's good use of the angle by Erasmus. He's got it to move across Jones who was trying to prod it towards extra cover.

    The pace and zip from the surface gives Green the tiniest of scratches.

    Jones looked like he was getting into his stride. That's a big loss.
