A touch fuller and in the line of the stumps, Chase opens up in his stance and tries to heave it over the leg side.

But then came some crucial stands in the middle. Leask was the main ingredient of the repair work. Initially he was supported by Cross, who was later replaced by Greaves. The pair ticked along well, but Leask slipped out in the death overs.

Greaves though made sure to take his side over the run mark. It did not look like it is the first time Namibia is playing in the T20 World Cup. They could not have asked for a better start than this. Surely, Namibia would be the happier side going into the break. But, Scotland fought back hard to make sure to get a defendable score on the board. Excellent finish by David Wiese. Wiese gets in the yorker this time and Chris Greaves can't get under it as he ends up bunting it back to the bowler.

Josh Davey is already halfway down the pitch and there's just no run there. David Wiese collects the ball and then just walks back to knock over the bails.

They do get across for a quick single. Davey heaves this one towards deep mid-wicket and races back for the second. Good running. Jan Frylinck finishes with excellent figures of ! This is bowled on a nagging length, outside off and is angled in.

Another one bites the dust as Jan Frylinck picks up his second wicket. Frylinck looks for the yorker on middle stump, but just misses it. Mark Watt clears his front leg and looks to get underneath the ball but doesn't quite manage to do so. In the end, Watt ends up chipping it straight to Gerhard Erasmus at long on who takes a simple catch.

Greaves looks to up the ante by swiping across but misses. Just 3 runs of the over. Bowls it into the pitch, around off. Graeves steps forward looking to pull it in front of square but gets undone by the lack of pace. Watt goes well across his stumps and flicks it aerially towards fine leg for a single.

The fielder from long off runs around and keeps it to a couple.

Watt hops and dabs it down towards the mid-wicket region for an easy single. Watt hangs back and blocks it out. Cleaned up! The dangerman Michael Leask is gone! Michael Leask will be really disappointed with that and this wicket could prove to be the difference in the context of this match. Leask walks right across his stumps and JJ Smit fires it in full and on off stump.

Leask looks to scoop it over the keeper but the ball is just too full and in the end Leask gets beaten by the pace. The ball crashes into off stump and JJ Smit has provided the breakthrough for Namibia.
