    That is a brilliant shot.

    That is a super shot. Wow. This is a true pitch.

  3. 6 runs

    Nam 22-0

    Hello! Stephan Baard joins the party as he advances and clatters Mohammed Shami over the ropes.

    India could be tasked with a tricky chase if Namibia keep cashing in like this.

    That ball came onto the bat nicely. There could be runs in this pitch, I fancy.

    That is a brilliant shot. The pitch does look true.

  6. Nam 15-0

    After two dot balls, Michael van Lingen hits another four to finish the over, whipping a slower, shorter ball over mid-wicket for four. Great shot.

  7. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala

    I still expect Virat Kohli to play T20 cricket for India. He still has a lot to offer the side.

    He might not do it for another five years or not, but I expect him to do it for at least another year or two.

    He averages nearly 50 in the format and that is just phenomenal.

  8. Nam 11-0

    Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah starts with a full toss that somewhat surprises Michael van Lingen, who misses out but manages to scamper a leg-bye.

    Another full toss is punished as Van Linger punches it deliciously down the ground for four.

  9. We say dead rubber but of course Namibia have plenty to play for - a historic scalp.

    Here is what captain Gerhard Erasmus said at the toss: "It is a great opportunity to go out against one of the world's biggest sides and arguably cricket's biggest nation. It is an awesome opportunity for our batters to cash in and if it slows down we can hopefully cash in later."

    There is a lot of opportunity in this game. It might be a dead rubber in the World Cup but with an IPL mega auction this year this could be life-changing for a number of players.

  11. Nam 5-0

    Mohammed Shami errs with a wide before Michael van Lingen also gets off the mark with a single.

    Five off the over to start for Namibia.

  12. Nam 1-0

    India fast bowler Mohammed Shami starts to Stephan Baard, who gets off the mark with a single off a leading edge.

    We always have fun but today does feel like last-day-of-school vibes.

  14. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    We're going to have some fun today I sense.

  15. Teams

    Both teams have made one change. For India, Rahul Chahar replaces fellow leg-spinner Varun Chakravarthy.

    India: KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli (c), Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Rahul Chahar, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah.

    And, for Namibia, all-rounder Jan Frylinck is in for Karl Birkenstock.

    Namibia: Stephan Baard, Michael van Lingen, Craig Williams, Gerhard Erasmus (c), David Wiesem, JJ Smit, Zane Green (wk), Jan Frylinck, Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Ruben Trumpelmann, Bernard Scholtz.

  16. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    It is always the worst feeling as a team when you just want to go home. India do have a point to prove though, so they'll want to play their best cricket.

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

    If you look at the stats and numbers then Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri have done very well - their win percentage is very high.

    Kohli will be disappointed he hasn't won an ICC event. That is how you create a legacy and MS Dhoni did that.

    Kohli has had a very good team and that is the only negative from his experience. He has led from the front and he is a leader in terms of how he has brought fitness in India cricket. He has done a very good job overall.

  20. India captain Virat Kohli: "The tosses have been a big factor here so when you win it is worth doing what we've wanted to do from day one. This is what we know best as a team.

    "It has been an honour for me to captain and to have the opportunity and I have tried to do my best. It is time for me to create some space and prioritise things and unfortunately the shortest format of the game has to make way for the longest formats. I have been immensely proud of how the team has played and been grateful for the opportunity. It is time for the next lot to take the team forward."
