    This is just some of the food on offer at the Kensington Oval.

  2. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    David Wiese is the sort of cricketer always watching and learning. His four overs will be vitally important for Namibia in defending this total.

    I feel they've got enough runs if they can bowl to the conditions.

  3. Sco 8-0

    Eight from the first over, six of them wides.

  4. Sco 5-0

    Trumpelmann gets Scotland off the mark with a horrible delivery that goes away down the leg side for four wides.

  5. Sco 0-0

    I didn't think I'd be writing about wheelbarrows today.

    Never a dull moment.

  6. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Manoeuvrability, Steven.

    Easier to corner on one wheel in tight spaces. On one wheel you can pivot.

  7. Sco 0-0

    Ruben Trumpelmann isn't happy with his landing spot, and one of the ground staff is heading out with a wheelbarrow.

    What's in it, only he knows.

  8. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    Why do wheelbarrows only have one wheel on the front? It's very hard to go in a straight line.

  9. Sco 0-0

    Thanks Andrew, a wonderful shift.

    Ruben Trumpelmann has the new ball for Namibia...

  10. Scotland's openers are walking out to the wicket and for the next 10 overs, I shall pass you back to the incredibly competent hands of George O'Neill.

  11. George Munsey and Michael Jones are sat waiting to go, padded up next to each other on the boundary, in seemingly contemplative silence.

    They'll want to repeat the 10 overs they had against England - an unbeaten 90.

    The crowd aren't silent though. They're listening to the Proclaimers. Oh yes.

  12. Do you want to know what winviz thinks Scotland's chances are? Of course you do...

  13. The covers are being tentatively removed, the wind is whipping up the palm trees behind the stadium at Bridgetown, and we should hopefully be back underway shortly.

    Will Scotland reach their target of 156? Get clicking those thumbs to let us know your thoughts.

  14. With the rain coming down again, you do start to question the wisdom of scheduling a World Cup in the Caribbean during hurricane season.

  15. Namibia finish on 155-9

    The rain drizzles down as Namibia run off the pitch, and the covers are immediately wheeled out.

    Scotland's target is 156 - and we'll bring you that very shortly.

  16. Nam 152-9

    Well, well, what's happened here?

    Have Namibia run short? Bernard Scholtz is the guilty party... but he's found innocent after an off-field check.

    WICKET

    Smit run out Wheal 10 (Nam 150-8)

    A mix-up from the Namibians!

    Smit played Wheal's delivery away, and anticipated a second run that Bernard Scholtz didn't agree with.

    Michael Jones throws, Brad Wheal whips the bails off, and Smit is a few inches short.

  18. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    I think Namibia will learn from their batting innings when they come to bowl.

    It doesn't look an easy pitch to bat on.

  19. 6 runs

    Nam 148-8

    Another good response from Namibia. This time it's JJ Smit who unleashes a 90-metre six that crashed into the hospitality boxes.

    A tough one for Brad Wheal to watch fly away off the bat.

  20. Nam 142-8

    After those three wickets, it's getting pretty rowdy here in Edinburgh too, Matt!

    Currie finishes the over with a wicket and three runs conceded. Can the Scots continue to punish Namibia?
