Bernard Scholtz* 1(2)

Willem Myburgh 8(13)

17.1

Usman Tariq to Bernard Scholtz

out, OUT! TIMBER! Another wrong'un from Usman Tariq and he has three wickets to his name, just like Shadab Khan. Tariq brings out the googly, landing it slightly full and around off. Bernard Scholtz leans ahead to drive on the off side but is beaten in the flight. The ball turns back in to clatter into the middle stump and Pakistan are now just on wicket away from the win.

3 wickets for Usman Tariq. Usman Tariq is on a roll.

16.6

Shadab Khan to Willem Myburgh

no run, Flighted up on off, Willem Myburgh manages to keep it out.

16.5

Shadab Khan to Willem Myburgh

16.4

Shadab Khan to Willem Myburgh

no run, Oh, how has that missed the stumps? A big googly from Shadab, lands it full and on off. The ball pitches and turns back in sharply, beating the attempted front-foot block from Myburgh. However, it bounces over middle and leg.

16.3

Shadab Khan to Bernard Scholtz

1 run, Flatter, on middle, nudged away to mid-wicket for a single.

Pakistan are just 2 wickets away from qualifying for the Super 8s. Bernard Scholtz is in at number 10.

16.2

Shadab Khan to Zane Green

out, OUT! CAUGHT! Looked like a decent hit from Zane Green but that's a terrific catch in the deep from Saim Ayub. Shadab Khan tosses the ball up, full on middle and leg. Green sits down to sweep and batters it flat over backward square leg. Saim runs in from the deep and puts in a lunging dive to snaffle it with both hands. Difficult to pick it under the lights and the replays confirm that it is a fair catch. Namibia are now 8 down.

3 wickets for Shadab Khan. Shadab Khan is on a roll.

Is that a clean catch? The umpires have sent it upstairs for a review to check the legality of the catch. Saim dived forward in the outfield to scoop the ball before the grass. But are his fingers completely under the ball? The third umpire, Kumar Dharmasena, deems it a clean catch after checking a couple of angles. A superb catch by Saim Ayub as OUT loads on the giant screen.

End of over 17 ( 2 Runs )

NAM 95/7

15.6

Usman Tariq to Willem Myburgh

3 runs, Would you believe it? A third triple of the over, 11 coming off it in total. On middle and leg, tucked away wide to the left of Babar Azam at short fine leg. Faheem Ashraf from deep square leg hurries to his right and manages to put in a slide and just keep the ball in play. Easy three this time for the batters.

End of over 16 ( 8 Runs )

NAM 91/7

Willem Myburgh* 4(8)

15.4

Usman Tariq to Zane Green

2 runs, Full and on the pads, nudged away through the square leg region for a couple of runs.

15.2

Usman Tariq to Zane Green

no run, Around the wicket to the left-hander, looped up very full and angled into the pads. Green looks to defend in front but gets beaten on the inside edge and gets hit on the front pad. Half a shout for LBW and nothing more.

15.1

Usman Tariq to Willem Myburgh

3 runs, Excellent running. A googly on the pads, Willem Myburgh nurdles it away past Babar Azam at leg gully and the ball trickles away. Babar gives chase and stops the boundary, but the batters manage to pick up three runs.

End of over 15 ( 2 Runs )

NAM 83/7

Zane Green* 2(5)

Willem Myburgh 1(6)

14.6

14.5

Mohammad Nawaz to Willem Myburgh

1 run, Full, outside off, drilled down and wide of long off for a single.

14.4

Mohammad Nawaz to Willem Myburgh

no run, Short ball around middle, 83.2 kph. Willem backs away and chops it off the inside edge to backward point. Nawaz and the keeper appeal for LBW, but the umpire denies. After a lot of pondering, Pakistan go for a review. But the first replay itself shows that it hit the bat first. They lose the review. Mark Howard, on air, jokingly says that never listen to the bowler.

14.3

Mohammad Nawaz to Willem Myburgh

no run, Nice and full, on off, pushed gently back to the bowler.

14.2

Mohammad Nawaz to Zane Green

1 run, Tries to get a bit funky out there. A tad shorter in length, spins in with a bit of bounce. Zane Green switches the stance to reverse sweep, but gets a bit of top edge as the ball flies over short third for a single.

14.1

Mohammad Nawaz to Zane Green

no run, Tries to flick the full ball to the leg side, but the ball pops up from the pitch, beats the bat and pings the front pad.

End of over 14 ( 0 Runs )

NAM 81/7

Willem Myburgh* 0(3)

Zane Green 1(2)

13.6

Usman Tariq to Willem Myburgh

no run, A full ball outside off, Willem strides in to drive but misses. The keeper collects the ball to his right and flicks the bails, but Myburgh’s back foot is safely coasted inside the crease.

maiden over bowled by Usman Tariq

13.5

Usman Tariq to Willem Myburgh

no run, A short delivery on the pads, 79.9 kph. Willem gets forward, tries to defend it, but misses and it hits a bit high on the back thigh pad.

13.4

Usman Tariq to Willem Myburgh

no run, A carrom ball, full and on middle, flicked out of the fingers. Spins prodigiously away from the batter. Willem Myburgh is drawn forward to block, but gets beaten all ends up on the outside edge.

Usman Tariq is putting on a show and he's just too hot to handle for the Namibian batters. Willem Myburgh walks out to bat at number 9.

13.3

Usman Tariq to Ruben Trumpelmann

out, OUT! BOWLED! Totally outfoxed and Usman has his second wicket. Another googly, flighted above the eyeline of the batter. Full and around off, spins back in very sharply. Ruben Trumpelmann gets half forward to push it away, but is completely outplayed by the variation as the ball sneaks past his inside edge and crashes back onto the stumps. Looking at the replays, it is a bit different than a regular googly and Waqar Younis on air describes it as a carrom ball bowled in the form of a googly.

13.2

Usman Tariq to Ruben Trumpelmann

no run, A lengthy appeal for LBW, but not given. Dishes out a googly, full and on the leg stump line. Ruben Trumpelmann is sucked onto the front foot, tries to block, but the ball spins back in sharply, beats the inside edge and thuds the front pad before rolling away. Pakistan do not review it as it is possibly going down leg.

DRINKS! Namibia are going down in a hurry now. They went from 32/0 to 49/4 and now they have lost a couple of quick wickets again, derailing any sort of progress. The mantra for Pakistan seems to be 'spin to win' right now and they are doing a fine job of consolidating a place in the Super 8s. With every passing over, it seems like USA's campaign is coming to an end and the focus will now be on whether Namibia can get to a decent total or not as they look to finish their campaign on a positive note. With that said, Ruben Trumpelmann walks out to bat now.

13.1

Usman Tariq to Jj Smit

out, OUT! CAUGHT! Tariq strikes now. He holds the pause, sees the batter shuffle wide outside the off stump and follows the batter. Pitched on a length, outside off, cramping the batter for room as JJ Smit tries to drag it leg side with a slog sweep. Ends up badly mistiming it off the top edge. The ball spoons up over mid-wicket and Shadab Khan tracks back a few yards, keeps his eyes locked on the ball and takes a fine running catch. Namibia are 81/6.

End of over 13 ( 5 Runs )

NAM 81/5

Jj Smit* 9(12)

12.4

Shadab Khan to Zane Green

no run, Short, on off, Green defends in front.

End of a steady 5th wicket stand, and a new batter walks out to bat now. It is Zane Green at number 7 for Namibia.

12.3

Shadab Khan to Alexander Volschenk

out, OUT! STUMPED! Clever bowling from Shadab as he gets his second wicket. A perfect leg spinner wicket. A flighted, full delivery outside off, a teasing leg break that drifts away. Alexander steps out, looking to launch it downtown, but misses connecting as he loses his shape, trying to hit it too hard. Usman reacts instantly, collecting to his right and whipping the bails off in a flash. Alexander is caught short and Namibia are 79/5, chasing 200.

5 wickets down for NAM. Out batsman is Alexander Volschenk

12.2

Shadab Khan to Alexander Volschenk

2 runs, Very slow through the air, fuller and on the leg stump. Alexander Volschenk gets on the front foot and flicks it to the vacant mid-wicket region for a couple of runs. Usman Khan himself rushes across to chase the ball with a slide. Tries to throw, but cannot release the ball properly off his right hand as he slips.

12.1

Shadab Khan to Jj Smit

1 run, Sharp leg break, fractionally full, 82.2 kph, on middle, JJ Smit chips it through mid on for a single.

Alexander Volschenk* 18(18)

Jj Smit 7(10)

10.1

End of over 10 ( 4 Runs )

NAM 62/4

Jj Smit* 4(7)

Alexander Volschenk 8(9)

8.2

Mohammad Nawaz to Alexander Volschenk

no run, A bit of cat and mouse between the batter and the bowler. Volschenk premeditates and shuffles across. Nawaz sees it and slows it up, turning it away from outside off. Volschenk tries to reverse ramp but misses and the ball goes to Salman Agha at first slip.

8.1

Mohammad Nawaz to Alexander Volschenk

FOUR, FOUR! Solid shot! Flat and full, on off and middle, Volschenk takes the front leg out and pummels it back past the bowler for a boundary. Mohammad Nawaz doesn't even attempt the catch because that was hit so hard.

NAM 51/4

Alexander Volschenk* 1(3)

Jj Smit 1(1)

7.6

Shadab Khan to Alexander Volschenk

1 run, Full and on the pads, clipped away past Usman Tariq at mid-wicket for a single. Looked like a misfield from Tariq.

7.5

Shadab Khan to Alexander Volschenk

no run, A big appeal for LBW, turned down. Probably hitting outside the line. Shadab brings out the googly, tossing it up on a good length and bowling it just outside off. Alexander Volschenk doesn't read it and tries to block but the ball darts back in and hits the front pad. No review is taken.

7.4

Shadab Khan to Jj Smit

1 run, Full and straight, driven down to long on for a single. The 50 is now up for Namibia.

50 runs for NAM

It is spiralling downward for Namibia with their best batter gone now. Out goes skipper Erasmus, and in walks JJ Smit at number 6.

7.3

Shadab Khan to Gerhard Erasmus

out, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! That's sharp work behind the stumps from Usman Khan. Just a regulation leg break from Shadab Khan, a few inches shorter than being full and just outside off. Gerhard Erasmus waits back to dab it fine but ends up deflecting it behind. Usman moves swiftly to his right and pouches it nicely. 32/0 has now become 49/4 for Namibia.

7.2

Shadab Khan to Gerhard Erasmus

2 runs, On middle and leg, tucked away to the left of deep mid-wicket and the batters race back for the second run.

7.1

Shadab Khan to Gerhard Erasmus

FOUR, FOUR! Too short and punished right away. Poor start from Shadab, bowling it very short and outside off. Gerhard Erasmus stays back and scythes it away between backward point and short third for a boundary.

End of over 7 ( 3 Runs )

NAM 43/3

Alexander Volschenk* 0(1)

Gerhard Erasmus 1(3)

6.6

Mohammad Nawaz to Alexander Volschenk

no run, Flat and full on middle, defended down the line by Alexander Volschenk.

So three quick wickets for Pakistan. 32/0 becomes 43/3 for Namibia. Alexander Volschenk walks in at number 5.

6.5

Mohammad Nawaz to Louren Steenkamp

out, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and Namibia are in deep trouble right now. Tossed up, on a length and aroud middle. This one grips a bit and turns away. Louren Steenkamp goes deep in the crease and looks to slog across the line and against the turn, instead of looking to hit down the ground. Steenkamp completely miscues it up in the air and the ball comes down to the right of the bowler. However, the keeper, Usman Khan, calls for it early and pouches it safely as well.

3 wickets down for NAM. Out batsman is Louren Steenkamp

6.4

Mohammad Nawaz to Louren Steenkamp

no run, Dragged length over middle, Steenkamp rocks back and punches it down to the right of the bowler.

6.3

6.1

Mohammad Nawaz to Louren Steenkamp

no run, Flighted up, on a nagging length and around off. Steenkamp hangs back and chops it down to point.

End of over 6 ( 2 Runs )

NAM 40/2

Gerhard Erasmus* 0(2)

Louren Steenkamp 22(18)

5.6

5.4

Saim Ayub to Louren Steenkamp

1^lb

leg byes, 1 run, Dragged length, bowled onto the pads, Steenkamp fails to flick it away. The ball goes off the pads and towards backward square leg for a leg bye.

5.3

Saim Ayub to Louren Steenkamp

no run, Flighted ball, bowled full and outside off, Steenkamp drives it along the turf to covers.

DRINKS BREAK. A couple of quick wickets have brought Pakistan right on top of the game. They didn't have a good start as they dropped an early catch, and served a few looseners as well, but have recovered well. There have been flashes of intent from Namibia, but they are pushed for a massive reconstruction job now as Gerhard Erasmus arrives at the crease at number 4. It is on the Namibian captain to steady the ship and take the game as deep as possible with a stable partnership in this middle phase.

5.2

Saim Ayub to Jan Nicol Loftie-eaton

out, OUT! JAN NICOLE LOFTIE-EATON IS RUN OUT! Seemed like a well-judged single to begin with but unfortunately for Namibia, it is a run out and they didn't need that one bit. Loftie-Eaton backs away early and Saim Ayub follows him with a flatter delivery from around the stumps. Loftie-Eaton taps it straight to extra cover and sets off for the single. Salman Agha picks it up and throws it to the bowler. Saim whips off the bails and the smart replay confirms that the batter is short of his crease. Namibia are now 39/2.

5.1

Saim Ayub to Louren Steenkamp

1 run, Floated up around middle and leg, Louren Steenkamp strokes it down to long off for a single.

End of over 5 ( 6 Runs )

4.6

Salman Mirza to Jan Nicol Loftie-eaton

no run, The nip-backer on a good length, on top of off, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton stays back and tries to pierce the point gap, but hits it straight to the fielder. Lets out a grunt in frustration for not getting it through.

4.5

Salman Mirza to Jan Nicol Loftie-eaton

FOUR, FOUR! Good, positive intent! Mirza serves it on a fuller length, on the off stump line. Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton walks out of the crease, gets under the ball and lofts it inside out over the cover fielder for a boundary.

4.4

Salman Mirza to Jan Nicol Loftie-eaton

no run, BEAUTY! Angles in and then seams away, on a good length, around off. Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton does not move his feet at all, tries to block away from the body and the ball zips past his outside edge.

4.3

Salman Mirza to Louren Steenkamp

1 run, Banged short, on the leg stump. Louren duck-pulls it wide of square leg for a single.

4.2

Salman Mirza to Jan Nicol Loftie-eaton

1 run, Slants in from middle, full in length, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton nudges it to the mid-wicket region for a single.

Salman Mirza breaks the brewing stand and the new batter walks out. Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton walks in at number 3.

4.1

Salman Mirza to Jan Frylinck

out, OUT! BOWLED! A bit of a relief in the Pakistan camp as Mirza provides the first breakthrough. He goes at pace, lands it full and attacks the stumps. Jan Frylinck shuffles to the leg side by exposing the stumps, attempts to carve it through the off side, but the ball nips and skids back in, beats the bat, and crashes into the stumps behind. A corker of a delivery from Mirza. Namibia are 32/1, chasing 200.

Salman Mirza (1-0-5-0) switches ends, replacing Faheem Ashraf.

End of over 4 ( 9 Runs )

NAM 32/0

Louren Steenkamp* 20(14)

3.6

Saim Ayub to Louren Steenkamp

FOUR, FOUR! Finds the gap! Short and wide, Louren Steenkamp frees his arms on the back foot and cuts it behind backward point for a cracking boundary.

3.5

Saim Ayub to Louren Steenkamp

no run, BEATEN! Peach of a delivery by Ayub. Dishes out one more carrom ball, on a fractionally fuller length, outside off. It grips, spins, and bounces away from the batter. Louren Steenkamp is sucked onto the front foot, tries to push it away inside out, but the ball spins past the face of the bat. Usman Khan collects the ball to his right and whips the bails off in a flash, but Steenkamp drags his back leg inside in time.

3.4

Saim Ayub to Louren Steenkamp

FOUR, FOUR! Wonderful batting! Another carrom ball, but sliding down leg on a fuller length. Louren Steenkamp gets across, sits down and paddle sweeps it using his wrists and gets a one-bounce boundary to long leg.

3.3

Saim Ayub to Louren Steenkamp

no run, The carrom ball now at just 80 kph, full and on off, Louren Steenkamp presses in front and eases it to the point region.

3.1

Saim Ayub to Jan Frylinck

no run, From around the stump. Saim bowls a full ball, 83.3 kph, on middle, Jan Frylinck leans on and blocks it watchfully.

Time for some spin as Saim Ayub has now been tossed the ball, replacing Salman Mirza.

2.4

Faheem Ashraf to Louren Steenkamp

FOUR, FOUR! A shot of authority! Hard length, on off, angling in. Louren Steenkamp clears his front leg, plays it with a straight bat and on the up. Clobbers it powerfully over mid on for a boundary.

2.3

Faheem Ashraf to Jan Frylinck

1 run, On a good length, angling from leg to off, Jan Frylinck presses back and nudges it through mid-wicket for a run.

Sahibzada Farhan is back out in the field, which is good news for Pakistan as the knee isn't as big a concern as expected.

2.2

Faheem Ashraf to Louren Steenkamp

1 run, Back of a length, outside off, Louren Steenkamp gets on the toes and punches it between cover and backward point for a run.

2.1

Salman Mirza to Jan Frylinck

1^wd

wide, 1 run, WIDE! Shapes away beyond the tramline, at 137.3 kph, outside off, Jan Frylinck tries to drive it away, but fails to connect.

1.5

Salman Mirza to Jan Frylinck

no run, Nips back in and stays a bit low on the bounce, on a length, on middle and leg. Jan Frylinck is rushed on the back foot, tries to pull, but the ball beats the inside edge and pings on the thigh pad.

Also, Shaheen Afridi is on the field as a replacement fielder, probably on for Sahibzada Farhan, who might be off the field for a knee injury. Remember, you cannot go off the field for cramps under the current laws of cricket.

1.4

Salman Mirza to Jan Frylinck

no run, Full and around off, Jan Frylinck gets on the front foot and carves it to short cover.

1.3

Salman Mirza to Louren Steenkamp

no run, Full and on middle and off, Louren Steenkamp pushes it to cover.

The two sides of Pakistan's fielding on show in that first over. A brilliant effort from Salman Mirza followed by a pretty ordinary one from Mohammad Nawaz. It will be Mirza now to share the new ball alongside Faheem Ashraf.

Faheem Ashraf to Jan Frylinck

2 runs, IN THE AIR... DROPPED! Nawaz has put down an absolute dolly. A short ball just outside off, cross seam. Jan Frylinck goes on the back foot and pulls it off the toe-end. Nawaz dives to his right from deep square leg, gets both hands down and lets it slip. That was a routine chance and the one to be taken. They get a couple of runs.

Faheem Ashraf to Louren Steenkamp

1^lb

leg byes, 1 run, Short in length, nipping back into the batter. Louren is taken aback by the extra bit of bounce, tries to pull but the ball hits his right shoulder and flies flat to the left of short third. Salman Mirza flings himself to that direction, tries to take it airborne, but shells it in the end. They get a leg bye. Regardless, a fantastic effort by Mirza.
