Chris Greaves ends the over with another big lbw shout...
...Scotland decide against the review. I thought that looked quite decent, but it might be sliding down on reflection.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialI don't mind this for a shout. Googly out of the back of the hand. With the modern inception of DRS, it doesn't matter where the ball hits you. It looks like it struck him in line. I'm surprised Scotland didn't review it.

Ooft!
Craig Williams advances, misses the googly from Chris Greaves and ends up scrabbing through for a couple of byes.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialIf Scotland keep it tight for the next two or three overs and not let Namibia get away from them, it leaves it at seven or eight per over. The pressure will then ramp up and it can escalate very quickly.

Namibia need just under a run a ball - 77 from 78.
Very manageable, but this has been a good start from Scotland. And if they can string a few dort balls together...

Former Scotland bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialVan Lingen was gambling on the length but was neither back or forward. Scotland need to carry on taking wickets now.

BBC Test Match SpecialJust what Scotland needed. No way was that catch going down.
WICKETpublished at 5.3 overs
Van Lingen c Berrington b Sharif 18 (Nam 28-1)
Breakthrough!
That's a nice bit of bowling from Safyaan Sharif, forcing Michael van Lingen to play across his pad, and a leading edge goes up into the lights and lands in Richie Berrington's hands.

BBC Test Match SpecialScotland needs some wickets. They kept it tight early on but that last over has damaged things. Only wickets will do from here.

Former Scotland bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialIt's scudded back past him. It's neither full nor short and the batsman has flat batted it.
