And that is the game. Namibia win by 50 runs. A superb performance from them, first with the bat and then in the field. It took a while to get Berrington and Coetzer out, but they restricted the runs with superb fielding placements from Sarel Burger.

That restricted the boundaries and runs, and they strangled the game away from Scotland. That is their first win in this competition since the first game back in 2015 vs Hong Kong.

And the umpires have signalled the covers to come on. The DL score is 314, so it's fair to say that Namibia have won if it doesn't stop raining

Match State: Delay - rain

The covers are coming off, we might get some more cricket. It's just spitting rain at the moment, and they were playing in much heavier rain before

Here comes Namibia. And the Scotland batters. Three overs left, one wicket or 71 runs to Scotland. I think one wicket is more likely.

Smit to bowl from the Nursery End.
