|
6.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Down goes the first wicket and JJ Smit has provided the much needed breakthrough for Namibia. This one is on the pads, Hazratullah Zazai picks it up nicely and whips it towards the backward square leg. Zazai hits it too well and the ball goes straight down the throat of Michael Van Lingen at the fence, who makes no mistake and Zazai has to depart after a solid start. Can this wicket swing the momentum the other way? 53/1

12.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Gerhard Erasmus has out foxed Mohammad Shahzad with the fly slip and Ruben Trumpelmann gets the big breakthrough. A length ball, on the stumps. Mohammad Shahzad walks across the off stump and looks to scoop it over the keeper. The ball goes off the top edge and loops up towards Bernard Scholtz at fly slip, who takes a simple catch. 89/3

9.5 OUT! LBW! Nicol Loftie-Eaton has his reward for some fine bowling. Full and straight, Rahmanullah Gurbaz goes down on his knees, looking to sweep it away but misses it completely. The ball hits Gurbaz, full on the pads and the umpire raises his finger in a jiffy. Gurbaz does take the review, but UltraEdge and Ball Tracking confirm that there's no bat involved and the ball went on to hit middle stump. Namibia are right back in this match now. 68/2

| Asghar Afghan | 31 | 23 | 3 | 1 | 134.78 |
|
19 OUT! CAUGHT! Afghan tried to be innovative but it did not go as he planned it. A full-length ball, on off. Afghan comes across and looks to scoop it over the keeper's head. But the ball takes the outside edge and goes towards backward point. Michael Van Lingen takes a simple catch. This is the last time we will ever see Afghan with the blade. Ruben Trumpelmann pauses his celebration and gives a pat on the back of Afghan. He is also greeted by a couple of players on his way out. The Afghanistan players now give him a guard of honour as he walks into the dressing room. All the fans are saluting. An emotional day for the fans. 148/5

| Najibullah Zadran | 7 | 11 | 1 | 0 | 63.63 |
|
15.4 OUT! LBW! Nicol Loftie-Eaton has been able to turn the ball and he has also helped in turning the game around for his side. He picks up his second wicket. Loopy ball, around off. The ball turns in a bit. Zadran looks to defend it out but misses. He gets rapped on the pads. This is plumb. The keeper and Nicol Loftie-Eaton appeal and the umpire raises his finger in a flash. Zadran is not happy with the decision and he opts for the review. The Ball Tracker shows three reds and Zadran has to do the long walk. 113/4

0.4 OUT! TAKEN! Namibia lose a wicket early. Not what they would have wanted. It is never easy to hit it down the ground on a slow wicket and Craig Williams finds that out. Fuller and on middle, another slower one. Williams looks to loft it straight but is through the shot. He only hits it high up in the air towards mid on where the substitute fielder, Usman Ghani takes a dolly. 2/1

| Michael van Lingen | 11 | 8 | 0 | 1 | 137.50 |
|
2.4 OUT! TAKEN! Naveen-ul-Haq has another one! Another lovely slower one. The batter is done by the lack of pace completely. Michael Van Lingen skips down the track, Naveen shortens the length and also takes the pace off. Michael Van Lingen is way too early in the flick, it goes off the top edge and it is a simple catch to the man at short fine leg. Hamid makes no mistake. Namibia in trouble. 16/2

5.2 OUT! TIMBER! Number three down and now this looks an uphill task for Namibia. The slower one once again does the trick. It is shorter and around off, Nicol is way too early in the pull. This does not bounce a lot, sneaks under the bat and hits the off pole. 29/3

| Gerhard Erasmus C | 12 | 14 | 1 | 0 | 85.71 |

10.3 OUT! TIMBER! Take a bow, Hamid Hassan. He got Gerhard Erasmus on the dance floor. It was a perfect yorker. Hassan fires in a yorker, on middle, right in the slot. Erasmus looks to dig it out but misses it completely. Erasmus is on the ground after that. The ball goes through to rattle the stumps. Hamid Hassan picks up his first wicket of the game and Namibia are in a spot of bother with half of the side being sent back. 56/5

| Zane Green Wk | 1 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 14.28 |

7.1 OUT! TIMBER! Rashid Khan strikes on his very first delivery. Zane Green has to go back on just 1. Googly, around middle, Green looks to scoop it over the keeper's head but misses. The ball goes through and disturbs the stumps. Namibia are four man down now. Not a good sight for them. 36/4

| David Wiese | 26 | 30 | 2 | 0 | 86.66 |

16.5 OUT! Cleaned up! Hamid Hassan has been exceptional today and down goes the nineth wicket for Namibia. Hamid Hassan bowls a full wide, around off and tailing back in sharply. David Wiese looks to drive it through covers but gets an inside edge back onto the off stump. David Wiese has to walk back after a fighting innings and Afghanistan have the finish line in sight right now. 80/9

| JJ Smit | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |

11 OUT! CAUGHT! Hamid Hassan picks up the second wicket of the over. Smit goes back on a duck with the softest of dismissals. Back of a length, around off. This one is quicker. Smit stays inside the crease and looks to move away from the line. But the ball takes the blade and goes towards the keeper. Mohammad Shahzad takes a good catch behind the stumps. 56/6

14.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Naveen-ul-Haq comes back on and picks up his third wicket. Naveen-ul-Haq hurls across a length ball, outside off and this is the slower ball. Jan Frylinck looks to loft it over mid off but is undone by the lack of pace and ends up skying it towards mid off. Mohammad Nabi settles under it and takes an easy catch. 69/7

| Pikky Ya France | 3 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 60 |

16 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Another one bites the dust for Namibia and Gulbadin Naib has his second wicket of the match. It's the slower ball yet again and it's bowled on a length, on off stump. Pikky Ya France looks to up the ante by going for the big shot but ends up skying it high just to the left of the bowler. Gulbadin Naib settles under it and takes the skier comfortably. 77/8
