    That's really well bowled by Trumpelmann, following the batter who was moving around his crease and making him play that awkward kind of shot.

    Afghan v Lingen b Trumpelmann 31 (Afg 148-5)

    Asghar Afghan is gone!

    He went for the ramp shot but Trumpelmann followed him and he can only edge the ball to short third man.

    This has been a lethal over so far and there are still three balls left!

    Absolutely nailed it.

    Mohammad Nabi picks Ruben Trumpelmann's slower ball and smashes it over the rope for six.

    Wiese has bowled brilliantly. He disguises his slower balls really well. He's played a lot of cricket around the world and he's a great addition for Namibia.

    All good things come to an end. This is how Mohammad Shahzad's entertaining knock was ended by a smart catch from Bernard Scholtz off Ruben Trumpelmann.

    David Wiese continues and that's lovely technique from Mohammad Nabi as he opens the face and just guides the ball past short third man for four.

    These batters look well set for a flourish in the final few overs.

    Afghanistan have got a lot of streaky boundaries today. If you're going to swing, swing hard!

  13. Afg 130-4published at 17 overs

    Asghar Afghan tries to launch the final ball over the over into next week, but he edges it in the other direction and the ball escapes fine for four.

    They all count.

    That was a good yorker on middle and leg stump! You don't want to miss that one as a batter, but he's played it really well.

  15. Afg 123-4published at 16.4 overs

    JJ Smit bowls it full and at the pads but Asghar Afghan is able to clip the ball round the corner for a boundary.

    Pitches outside leg - not out.

    JJ Smit returns and thinks he has Mohammad Nabi lbw. The umpire says no but they send it up for a review.

    Loftie-Eaton has been able to bowl through these middle overs quite easily. No one has tried to take him on.

    Here comes skipper Mohammad Nabi and he immediately get off the mark with a single.

    A dot ball ends Loftie-Eaton's spell - he takes 2-21 from his four overs. Tight stuff.

    Maybe they thought it was so plumb they didn't need to appeal!
