  1. Nam 62-4

    Run rate 5.64

    Gerhard Erasmus unfurls a reverse sweep but just picks up one for it.

    David Wiese then loosely edges it off a booming drive and fine enough to run away for four.

    More like it for Namibia, 11 from the over.

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

    That is a very poor delivery. The batter could have hit that anywhere.

  3. Nam 57-4

    Rahul Chahar drops one short and Gerhard Erasmus mashes it away for four. Poor ball that.

    India are still a powerhouse team no matter what anyone says or think. Two defeats doesn't make you a bad team.

  5. Nam 51-4

    Ravichandran Ashwin beats David Wiese all ends up but also beats both the outside edge and off-stump...just.

    Namibia crawl past 50 just before the halfway mark.

  6. Shot of the day goes to Stephan Baard so far.

  7. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special

    Loftie-Eaton has just gifted one of the easiest catches that Rohit Sharma will have ever taken.

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

    It was a brilliant delivery. He just slowed is down a little bit and gave it plenty of air and flight and there was a little bit of extra bounce.

    WICKET

    Loftie-Easton c Rohit b Ashwin (Nam 47-4)

    Namibia are starting to crumble now.

    Ravichandran Ashwin tosses it invitingly up outside off and gets a bit of lift to deceive Nicol Loftie-Eaton, who chips a dead simple catch to Rohit Sharma at first slip.

    A drinks break follows. India will sense an opportunity to roll Namibia over here.

    New man David Wiese will have other ideas.

  10. Are India's players upset with their board for rescheduling the resumed Indian Premier League just five days after a Test series against England was supposed to end?

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

    There is a massive workload for these players and the problem with India is they don't really believe in rotation. Their team is always pretty similar across all three formats of the game, whereas some sides have T20 specific players.

    It is mind-blowing that there is a T20 series against New Zealand three days after the final of this tournament.

    I was speaking to Mohammed Shami during the summer when they were over here in England and he said he'd be gutted if he was picked in that series.

  12. Nam 47-3

    Erasmus 3, Loftie-Eaton 5

    Rahul Chahar continues and Nicol Loftie-Eaton scampers a sharp two round the corner.

    Gerhard Erasmus clatters a drive just short of diving cover.

    More miserly work from Chahar - just five from the over.

    I've played a lot of cricket with Ravindra Jadeja and he is very difficult to sweep unless you choose the right line and length. He bowls so quick and it just skids onto you as a batter.

  14. Nam 42-3

    New batter Nicol Loftie-Eaton taps a single to get off the mark.

    Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus top edges the last ball loosely but clear of keeper and slip to scamper two.

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

    It was pretty much straight on. It looked like it was on middle stump and he went too far across.

  16. wicket

    WICKET

    Baard lbw b Jadeja 21 (Nam 39-3)

    Three reds on ball tracking and it would've gone on to crash into leg stump.

    Stephan Baard is gone and Ravindra Jadeja has his second wicket.

  17. Namibia review

    Stephan Baard goes for another sweep, misses and is struck in front.

    Massive appeal and given.

    Baard appeals, but this looks like a desperate review.

  18. Nam 39-2

    Stephan Baard sweeps Ravindra Jadeja powerfully away for four.

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

    It is very difficult to make too many changes to this team because there is so much talent in this team. A couple of bad games can happen to any team.

    I like that India didn't make too many changes today. It is a very strong team they are playing.

  20. Ruturaj Gaikwad, who finished top runscorer in this year's IPL for champions Chennai Super Kings, might well force himself into this line-up before long.
