00:00You
00:30Well, it seems just crazy to think of batting first here. There'll be plenty of movement
00:49early for the bowlers and I don't think that's going to change.
01:04Here we go, first ball of the match, nothing better than getting a game started and hearing
01:09the sound of leather on willow.
01:13Wait!
01:15Couldn't get it through the field.
01:18Easy shot to start the innings, unfortunate they just couldn't find a gap.
01:36Sounded good the moment it hit the bat.
01:40Well that was a really solid shot, read the length early to get onto the front foot and
01:45that raced away for four.
01:55Yep, edged it.
02:03Don't mind getting hit for runs, what's important is to focus on getting the next ball right.
02:12There'll be one run here for them.
02:19A little flick of the wrist to get it round the corner for an easy run.
02:24Roy is new to the crease, they'll be keen to feel bat on ball early on.
02:36Yep, timed it nicely, they'll look for a couple you'd think.
02:49Onto the front foot early, placed it perfectly into the gap, timed it nicely for four more.
02:56That last ball isn't something you'd want to see a repeat of,
02:59you don't want to be giving easy runs away.
03:02Yep, good shot, it's found the gap.
03:09Judged the length absolutely beautifully, footwork was immaculate,
03:13but it was the hands that got that to the fence.
03:16A brilliant over for the batting side, not so for the bowlers.
03:21Wiesa, the right armour, is coming into the attack from the great southern stand end.
03:27Yep, they'll get at least one.
03:36I for one reckon that second run was on, but clearly the batters knew better.
03:46Yep, got forward well and was able to drive the ball, a lovely shot and good running.
04:05Yep, there'll be runs here.
04:20Exquisitely done on the front foot, a gorgeous looking drive, could have been worth more.
04:35Yep, perfectly timed.
04:41The fielder could only pick that up off the boundary rope,
04:44punch that away through the covers with exquisite timing.
04:48A good contest here at the moment, four off the last ball
04:52and it'll be interesting to see how the bowler can respond.
04:57Yep, finds the edge.
05:05Yep, brilliant bowling, having got the edge of the previous ball,
05:12they now know the areas they need to be hitting.
05:17Yes, great shot, at least one on offer.
05:24End of the over, nine runs coming from it, England are none for 26.
05:36Going with spin now.
05:47Yeah, nicked it.
06:06Let's see if they can get the ball up into the slot like before,
06:09so crucial to follow up that last delivery and keep the batter under pressure.
06:15Edged, loud shout.
06:29Caught, gone.
06:31Such a disappointment, a lot of people here at the ground would have been looking forward
06:35to seeing this innings, as it is they've got to walk back, barely troubling the scorers.
06:40The team will be after a positive innings from this batter,
06:43a great opportunity to come in and put some runs on the board.
06:52And again, see you later, two wickets on the trot.
06:55Well, was that a lazy shot or a good piece of bowling?
07:05And the field was set and they fell for it, out for a duck.
07:09The field will come up now, you'd think, pressure should definitely be on the new batter
07:14who strides to the middle, they will be looking for another quick wicket.
07:20Nice shot, runs possible.
07:25That shot sees them get their innings started.
07:44Yeah, super piece of timing, jumped all over the slower ball,
07:50only gave them more time to see it and make sure of it.
07:55Boundary off the last ball, wants to come off this delivery, I wonder.
08:06Off the bat, it looked like it was going, a brilliant slide to cut it off.
08:11A couple on offer here, end of the over, 12 runs coming from it.
08:16England are 2-38.
08:20Early wickets will be the key, it's a below par score,
08:23if the batting gets away early, we could see a very simple run chase.
09:24This total is well below par and the openers are going to be looking to close this out quickly.
09:37The bowlers are going to have to find someone
09:39to make up for the rest of the team's batting failures.
09:54In the air, looks to be landing safely.
10:10A little short on that occasion, needs to adjust the length slightly to be just a little fuller.
10:16Too short on this pitch and as we've seen already, it makes it very easy to score.
10:23No runs on that occasion, got into position nicely just too early on the shot, couldn't find a gap.
10:36Caught, one of the easiest catches you'll see.
10:45An innings that promised much and really in the end delivered very little.
10:49Pretty disappointing all round.
10:52New batter comes to the crease, never an easy time to come in after the fall of a wicket.
11:06Finds the fielder with that shot and they're away and nicely off the mark.
11:12A new batter always likes to feel bat on ball early on,
11:16as they bring a bit of energy to the crease.
11:21Yes!
11:33Immediately underway with some runs.
11:51Just threw the shot too early.
11:56End of the over, Namibia are one for six.
12:00Topley, the left armour, is the new bowler from the members end.
12:09Drives and misses everything.
12:12I'd say it was the right shot to choose but it was just timed badly,
12:15just couldn't get the drive away.
12:21Gone, it's a good catch.
12:40It's the sort of dismissal that sees the momentum swing back to the bowler,
12:44gone but not for many.
12:46Lots of pressure coming into bat,
12:48will have to wait though to face their first ball.
13:01Ease through the field, there'll be runs here.
13:07Well, this is a fantastic wicket.
13:20Get the runs down, really didn't get settled.
13:23Looked to be in trouble, sadly, for most of the knock.
13:27And with that wicket, the new batter will mark their guard.
13:30They just need to rotate the strike early on as they get settled.
13:37Wait there, good piece of fielding to stop some runs.
13:44Hit that well off the back foot but couldn't beat the field.
13:59Yep, well placed, should get a single.
14:02Frilling gets off the mark.
14:13A change to the complexion of this match.
14:16Got to get the new batter coming forward early,
14:19encouraging them to drive and really attack the stumps.
14:25A rush of blood, very quick onto the short ball, can't get it away.
14:29With the completion of that over,
14:31there will need to be some considerable risks now from the batters.
14:35Going with pace now.
14:49Good batting, get an opportunity to score and take it.
14:53This could be trouble.
14:55There was trouble for a moment,
14:57but these two were quick enough to avoid the run out in the end.
15:01A wonderful delivery to get the edge.
15:04They've got to keep hammering away at that spot time and again.
15:10Yep.
15:24So
15:49wow, that's missed a lot.
15:51I'd say that was the right shot to choose,
15:53but timed it badly.
15:55Couldn't get the drive away.
16:03Yep, big edge.
16:05Topley did very nicely out there on the boundary.
16:15Time to keep the pressure on now.
16:18Great last ball to find the edge.
16:20It's just a case of finding the same spot.
16:24Yep.
16:34Pierce the gap and get their first runs.
16:48Yep.
16:49They'll push hard, should get back for two.
16:53Ball off.
16:57Eight runs added there.
16:59Namibia are three for 16.
17:03This could have...
