    3.4 Excellent take at fine leg and Namibia lose their first! This was a quick and short one from Bosch, as van Lingen goes for the hook but never really looked in control. The pace of Bosch also rushes him, as this goes straight to Maphaka on the boundary line. The tall fast bowler judges it well, and holds on reverse cup, ensuring not to step over the boundary line as he settles himself 7/1

    20.4 Is this another!? Yes it is, brilliant bit of fielding! Another lovely flighted, dipping delivery, driven to cover who can only palm it towards the onrushing long-off. They try to sneak a second but the throw is flat and fast, and most importantly on target. Volschenk is just short, and both set batters are gone in consecutive deliveries 73/4

    6.4 Right through him! A couple of shorter ones, and then throws this in fuller. And quick too. Shapes in late as Frylinck goes for the drive but gets nowhere near it, as this goes right through bat and pad. 19/2

    20.3 Done him in the flight! Steenkamp is done in by an absolute jaffa! Dream spinners dismissal here. Drifts in towards leg stump, pitches around leg, bit of dip draws the batter in for the drive before it pitches and rips past the outside edge to clatter into the stumps. 72/3

    22.1 Fortuin strikes again! And it's the big wicket of the skipper. Not sure if this shot was on, with long-off in place. Erasmus lofts this drive - never quite getting to the pitch of it, again beaten by some dip - as long-off moves to his left and holds on to a not all too easy chance 79/5

    24.4 Huge appeal and given! This was straighter, pitching much closer to off, and Loftie-Eaton takes on his favoured sweep. But this sneaks under the bat and strikes him, what looks like in line of off stump. This was certainly hitting the stumps, the only question being whether it struck in line or if there was bat. Loftie-Eaton is unhappy about something, but with no DRS he has no recourse but to walk off 90/6

    36.2 Unbelievable take and that is that! And it's that man, Fontuin, who has judged this to perfection. Slower ball full outside off, as Green looks for the drive and slices this up in the air. It looks like it might be landing safe, but Fontuin has run to his right from mid-off and sprung full length to his right to hold on to this one that was always falling away from him. Namibia are all out for 156 156/10

    27.6 Peter gets the last laugh against Trumpelmann! This was given a bit more air, and maybe a little slower. It allows it to grip and little in the surface, and that mains Trumpelmann's attempted lofted straight drive ends up being sliced via leading edge high to long-off, who settles under it and makes no mistake 107/7

    30.5 Through him! Smith never looked comfortable against Fortuin, so you can't say this hasn't been coming. This was tossed up, as Smith looked for the forward defence. He was playing for the turn, but none was forthcoming, and it snuck through the gap between bat and pad to rattle the bails off the stumps. Namibia are eight down! And it's career best figures now for Fortuin! 112/8

    33.3 Unusual dismissal but the umpire has given it! This was short ball outside off and Brassell looks for the pull but misses. There seemed to be sound as the keeper caught it, and the umpire agrees that there was a faint edge off the toe-end of the bat. The batter was busy admonishing himself for the missed shot when he looked back and saw to his surprise that he was given out. Nine down now, Namibia 125/9
