OUT! LBW! Huge appeal from the Proteas and up goes the finger of the umpire. The wickets are tumbling pretty badly after the fall of the 3rd wicket. Namibia needs someone to just hold on and keep the scoreboard ticking. Flatter trajectory, a touch fuller in length, pitching it outside off and turning into the batter. Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton gets down on one knee to sweep it away, but misses the connection and wears on the front pad. Namibia are 90 for 6 now.

 OUT! CAUGHT! That is absolutely not needed at this time of time. A cheap dismissal from the skipper of the side. Bjorn Fortuin pitches it fuller, around off. Gerhard Erasmus makes a bit room and punches it uppishly to clear the mid off fence, knowing that there is a man in the deep. Erasmus fails to time his shot and ends up chipping it. The ball lobs toward the left of Nqobani Mokoena, who holds his composure and takes a good catch, tumbling to his left.

OUT! BOWLED'EM! Oh Fortuin, you beauty. He pitches it fuller, offering a bit of flight so the ball gets to drip on the dry surface and turns it away from the batter. Louren Steenkamp plants his front foot toward the leg side of the delivery to drive it toward long on, like he did on the first delivery of the over. However, the ball spins and turns away to beat the outside edge and crashes onto the stumps. 

OUT! STEENKAMP IS RUN OUT! That's two in two for the Proteas, but this time it's because of magnificent fielding. Pitching full on off stump, Erasmus makes room and drills it towards cover. Brevis dives to his right but can't cleanly field it, allowing the ball to roll out to Nqobani Mokoena at long-off. The batters push for a risky second, but Volschenk turns back way too late. Mokoena gathers smoothly and unleashes a bull's-eye throw to break the stumps at the bowler's end and Volschenk is caught well out of his ground.
