Why not swing, indeed?!
David Wiese sends Haris Rauf's first ball effortlessly over the ropes.

England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialNamibia have been fantastic today. The way they went about the powerplay really put pressure on Pakistan from the start.
They have fallen off a little bit but if we're honest they were always going to against this strong Pakistan side.
Both sides will have definitely learnt from this.

Credit to Namibia for sticking it out, though. Craig Williams was particularly impressive for his 40.

Might be a bit tricky, this.

BBC Test Match SpecialI once got pulled over by a traffic policeman in the USA and he asked me to tell him the alphabet backwards. I don't drink but, I promise, that is hard! I got there... but slower than I wanted to!

David Wiese is absolutely nailed in the helmet by a vicious Haris Rauf bouncer to complete the over.
The physio comes out, as is mandatory, but Wiese thankfully has a smile on his face.

Smit c Zaman b Haris 2 (Nam 110-5)
A perfect slower ball and Pakistan edge closer to the semi-final!
Lovely execution from Haris Rauf to take the pace off the ball, having been bowling quickly all evening. JJ Smit completely mistimes his pull shot and spoons a simple catch to midwicket.

Hmm. Not sure the wet ball worked too well for Shaheen here.

They may not reach the target but it's been great to see Namibia take some attack to Pakistan's bowlers, despite their immense skill. It's something not many teams have managed during the tournament so far.

Shaheen Shah Afridi returns.
David Wiese, batting with such a wide stance he's almost doing the splits, crunches his third ball for four with a lovely lofted drive over mid-off.

Hasan Ali is back into the attack with his remarkably shiny hair.
David Wiese greets him with a gloriously timed cut for four, but the run rate has now crept up to a rather daunting 17 runs an over.

Williams c Hasan b Shadab 40 (Nam 93-4)
A fine innings comes to an end.
Williams tries to go straight down the ground but doesn't get hold of it, gifting Hasan Ali a simple catch at long-on.
He's played extremely well though, given the magnitude of the chase and the quality of the bowling. That should give him a lot of confidence.

Stephan Baard was leading the chase nicely before his rather unlucky dismissal. He looked so devastated, you couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
