Player Of The Match
Ben Shikongo to Chris Greaves. Full toss, to leg on the front foot flick, to deep square leg for 1 run, fielded by Smit. That brings us to the end of the first innings. Scotland have managed to post an above-par score on the board. A century from the debutant Michael English at the top, well supported by the skipper for his 89 runs, helped post this total. Shaun Fouche is Namibia's stand-out bowler, while the rest of the bowlers struggled to offer the support needed to restrict Scotland to a lower score. Can Scotland defend this total, or will Namibia chase down the 302 runs required for victory? Let's catch the second innings in a while.
