    I don't want to keep banging on about the time thing, but could they not have taken this drinks break during the review?

    The IPL hasn't helped in setting a good standard for this.

  2. This is how Hazratullah Zazai's entertaining innings came to an end.

  3. Afg 69-2

    Asghar Afghan gets off the mark with a single and Afghanistan reach the halfway point on 69-2. Something to build on with plenty of wickets in hand.

  4. Lovely scenes as new batter Asghar Afghan, on what is his final T20 appearance, receives a guard of honour from the Namibia players.

  5. Mohammad Shahzad is still there and this cut shot just about beat the fielder on the boundary.

  6. Hazratullah Zazai hit an entertaining 33 from 27, including this six off Jan Frylinck.

  7. Drinks break

    Time for a drinks break. While they take some time out, let's look at some of the highlights so far...

  8. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on BBC Test Match Special

    It is a big wicket and it will put pressure on Afghanistan. That is exactly what T20 cricket is about, picking up wickets and putting pressure on the batting side.

    There is still plenty of batting left for Afghanistan.

  9. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That is a good decision.

    WICKET

    Gurbaz lbw Loftie-Eaton 4 (Afg 68-2)

    Three reds - out.

    Rahmanullah Gurbaz is on his way and Namibia have taken a wicket at a crucial time.

  11. No bat involved....

  12. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    There was a little bit of turn too. It might be missing the stumps.

  13. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on BBC Test Match Special

    He was very quick to take the review. Unless he got some bat on it or glove I don't see any reason this would be overturned.

  14. Afghanistan review

    Loftie-Eaton thinks he has Rahmanullah lbw - but Afghanistan review.

  15. Afg 67-1

    That is delicious Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton as he finds a bit of turn and beats Rahmanullah Gurbaz ends up.

    Next ball Rahmanullah fails to take advantage of a full toss and he can only pull into the onside for one, much to his obvious frustration.

  16. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on BBC Test Match Special

    That was a good over. They didn't take many risks but they still got 10 from the over.

  17. Afg 65-1

    Mohammad Shahzad is so good to watch, you are never sure what you are going to see next.

    He moves to 28 from 22 balls.

  18. Afg 63-1

    Chance again...but safe!

    Mohammad Shahzad gloves a pull that just goes over short fine-leg and over the rope for four.

  19. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on BBC Test Match Special

    That might be one of the quickest overs in the World Cup. He was running back to this mark.

    That was one of the quickest overs I've seen in a long time. We're used to Ravindra Jadeja bowling quick overs but that was rapid.

  20. Afg 55-1

    Nicol Loftie-Eaton comes on for a bit of leg-spin and he skids one through that just beats the edge of Mohammad Shahzad's bat. Lovely delivery.

    That over has dragged things back a bit for Namibia. Just two singles off it.
