0.6 to Q de Kock, not a happy return for QdK. This was short on middle and leg, QdK tries to over hit it but ends up skewing one towards square leg - big Trumpelmann out there gobbles up an easy catch. 4/1
Ben Shikongo	3	0	23	1	7.66	5	3	0	1	0
12.4 to A Simelane, Another one bites the dust! Simelane backs away, looking to go up and over mid-off, but Shikongo smartly follows him. The timing is all wrong - it goes high rather than far. Erasmus, patrolling mid-off, sprints to his left and takes another stunner, leaving South Africa reeling. 82/6
JJ Smit	4	0	23	1	5.75	8	2	0	0	0
19.6 to G Coetzee, Smit finally gets one.. Fuller and wider outside off. Coetzee opens the face and tries to go over deep third - miscues it completely and Steenkamp takes a good catch. 134/8
Ruben Trumpelmann	4	0	28	3	7.00	9	3	0	1	0
4.2 to RR Hendricks, gone.. Back of a length on middle and leg. Henricks picks up the length early and tries to club this over deep square leg. Kruger sprints in from the deep and holds on to a stunning tumbling catch!. 25/2 8.4 to RA Herman, another stunner and another wicket.. Back of a length on middle and leg, and Hermann takes on the deep midwicket boundary. But he's rushed by the extra bounce and pace from Trumpelmann. Shikongo, stationed in the deep, swoops low and takes a lovely catch to send the batter packing. They are checking if this is a clean catch and looks like it.. 55/3 18.3 to JF Smith, for a change he pushes one further up on stumps. Smith's eye light up and tries to clear long-off, loses his shape as he try to hit that. Smit takes an easy catch to leave SA in tatters. 119/7 See all photos
Max Heingo	3	0	32	2	10.66	2	3	1	1	0
10.2 to LG Pretorius, gone..! Short on middle and leg, Pretorius looks pull ~~but gets beaten~~ and the Namibians think the ball kight have kissed the glove on it's way to the keeper. Ump obliges and Pretorius walks away in disbelief. 64/4 10.4 to D Ferreira, ONE MORE and Heingo is turning it around. A length delivery, and the T20 instinct takes over. Ferreira looks to muscle it over deep midwicket, but mistimes it and picks out his counterpart Erasmus in the deep. 68/5

2.4 to JN Frylinck, makes room touch too early and allows Burger to adjust his line. Burger, saw the shimmy and pitches this one further up on stumps. Frylinck on the move plays all around, nowhere near his best, and the ball snakes through to trim the off stump. 22/1 16.3 to MB Kruger, Namibia are in tatters now - this was full from around the stumps, Kruger tries to go over cover, miscues it altogether and the sub fielder Nqabayomzi Peter at cover takes a dolly. 101/6

3.6 to L Steenkamp, through him and boom. It was a length on middle, Steenkamp who looked rattled by the bouncer, tried to pull this through the on side - the length wasn't conducive and pays the ultimate price.. 28/2
Donovan Ferreira	2.3	0	17	0	6.80	4	2	0	0	0
Andile Simelane	4	0	28	2	7.00	6	1	1	1	0
6.6 to JN Loftie-Eaton, short and wide and Namibia are three down. It was short wide outside off, Loftie tries to go up and over the keeper but ends up skying third. Williams runs in and takes a very, very fine catch. The hosts are in a spot of bother now. 51/3 12.5 to JJ Smit, Smit falls for the trap.. Back of a length on stump, pulls but finds Smith at deep square leg. Big big moment in this game now. SA are back in the contest. 84/5
Bjorn Fortuin	4	0	28	1	7.00	11	2	1	1	0
9.4 to MG Erasmus, Fortuin gets the big fish. This was tossed up on stumps, Erasmus closes the blade shade early, leading edge lobs up straight and Fortuin takes good catch. 66/4
