    I think that's less out than the previous one.

    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.

    I 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.

    Leg-spinner Chris Greaves is on and his first delivery is promptly ramped over Zane Green's shoulder for four.

    If 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...

    You feel this is going to be slow progress. It doesn't seem like it's going to be bang, bang, bang and Namibia are there.

  10. Nam 33-1published at 7 overs

    Brad Wheal is back and wheels through another tidy over, with four singles coming from it.

    Sharif has been direct in his line and attacking the wickets. He's been excellent.

  12. Nam 29-1published at 6 overs

    Target 110

    That's a terrific over from Safyaan Sharif, costing just three runs and bringing a wicket.

    Zane Green is the new batter for Namibia.

    Van Lingen was gambling on the length but was neither back or forward. Scotland need to carry on taking wickets now.

    Just what Scotland needed. No way was that catch going down.

    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.

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

    Safyaan Sharif continues.

    Target 110

    A single ends a rather pricey over.

    It's scudded back past him. It's neither full nor short and the batsman has flat batted it.
