    Ruben Trumpelmann scampers a couple more. Good last over for this by Namibia so far.

    It was a great effort. He ends up face planting the floor.

  3. Nam 129-8published at 19.4 overs

    Ruben Trumpelmann batters a short ball away at KL Rahul is in play at wide long-on.

    A superb diving effort from the India opener but the ball bounces just short of his outstretched fingers and cruelly deflects away to the boundary sponge.

    That was just in the slot. He hasn't really done anything with that delivery other than put it in the slot and it was so easy for Trumpelmann.

    There you go!

    Ruben Trumpelmann finally collects and bashes Mohammed Shami down the ground for six.

    Shot!

  6. Nam 119-8published at 19.2 overs

    Ruben Trumpelmann can't connect with either of his first two balls against Mohammed Shami - two dots.

  8. Nam 119-8published at 19 overs

    Just one over for Namibia to post something testing.

    It was an impressive innings from David Wiese.

    Wiese c Rohit b Bumrah 26 (Nam 117-8)

    David Wiese is undone by the slower ball yorker.

    Wiese gets under it but it's off the toe end as the ball skews straight up.

    Rohit Sharma takes a simple catch at extra cover.

    Jasprit Bumrah did brilliantly in his follow through and he had all the time in the world.

    Everybody has a bit of a laugh about it.

  12. Nam 116-7published at 18.3 overs

    Oh dear. Jasprit Bumrah has earned himself some extra fielding practice.

    Jan Frylinck is miles out of his crease as Bumrah collects in his follow through and pings the ball at the stumps but completely misses.

    Would've been miles out.

    Ravindra Jadeja is just a bit good.

    David Wiese has been the main batter for Namibia. He has played a lot of franchise cricket and T20 cricket and he's showing the rest of his side how to play. He is saying 'watch me'.

  15. Nam 114-7published at 18 overs

    Nambia pick up 12 from Mohammed Shami's third over.

    India are remarkably two overs ahead on over rate. A welcome surprise.

    IPL games seemed to last longer than ODIs.

    That was poor backing up. You can't play the fielder for throwing it because he would have been out with a hit.

  17. Nam 109-7published at 17.4 overs

    Buzzzzzzzers!

    Jan Frylinck taps a sharp single as Ravindra Jadeja goes for the direct hit, misses and there is no-one backing up.

    The ball streaks away to the fence and that's five in total off that delivery.

    If I was the batter there I'd be getting in the ear of the umpire saying you've just taken four runs off me.

  19. Nam 102-7published at 17 overs

    Wiese 21, Frylinck 4

    Jan Frylinck flicks Jasprit Bumrah deftly down leg for four runs...oh, wait, it's been given as leg-byes. Robbery.

    Frylinck drops his hands over the next before tapping through the covers for a single to finish.

  20. Nam 95-7published at 16 overs

    The next Men's T20 World Cup is only next year in Australia in October and November.

    Ravichandran Ashwin is 35. He didn't play T20 international cricket for four years before this tournament and has excelled since finally playing.

    You sense India are looking to move on from him though.

    He finishes, potentially his T20 World Cup career, with 3-20 off his four overs.
