Ben Shikongo to Ishan Kishan, No run.

Ben Shikongo to Tilak Varma, Full and on middle, Varma knocks it to the right of mid on and crosses over.

Ben Shikongo to Ishan Kishan, Better line but still a bit too full, on middle. Ishan drills it to the right of mid on, where the fielder slides to his right and the ball gets parried off his knees towards the mid off fielder. The single was on anyway and the batters complete it.

Ben Shikongo to Tilak Varma, Had to hurry! Moving away in the air, on a length, outside off, Tilak steers it to short third. A bit of hesitation but the batters eventually go through for the single. The short third fielder has a shy at the batting end but misses. It would have been interesting had the throw hit.

Ben Shikongo to Ishan Kishan, Four!

Bowling change.

JJ Smit to Ishan Kishan, Given LBW but successfully overturned. Slanting in, on the fuller side, on middle and leg. Kishan crouches slightly and has a swipe across the line. Gets hit on the pads and Namibia go up in unison. The finger goes up but Ishan is quick to take the review.

An immediate review!

JJ Smit to Ishan Kishan, ! Absolutely hammered! Not all that short but enough for Kishan to play the pull. This is around off, scrambled seam delivery, Ishan gets on top of it and swats it between mid-wicket and mid on for four more.

JJ Smit to Ishan Kishan, ! Lovely shot! Smit serves it full, on middle with the keeper up to the stumps. Kishan presents the full face of the bat and creams the drive to the right of mid on for a boundary.

JJ Smit to Tilak Varma, Edgy! Smit keeps it in and around the top of off, Varma gets on his toes and tries to clip it away on the leg side with a closed bat face. The ball nips away a touch to catch the leading edge. It goes along the ground and behind point. Tilak is off the mark with this streaky single.

JJ Smit to Tilak Varma, Angled into the left-hander, on a back of a length. Tilak gets right behind it and stabs it down on the leg side.

JJ Smit to Ishan Kishan, On a back of a length, on off, Kishan angles it behind point and crosses over.

Deafening silence inside the stadium as Sanju Samson throws away another golden opportunity.

Ben Shikongo to Sanju Samson, ! c Louren Steenkamp b Ben Shikongo.

Ben Shikongo to Sanju Samson, ! Nicely done! On a good length, outside off, Samson stays leg side of the ball and extends his hands for the lofted drive over cover for a four.

Ben Shikongo to Sanju Samson, ! Sanju Samson is dealing in sixes. This is even bigger.

Ben Shikongo to Sanju Samson, ! Picked up, and it goes into the crowd! Suryakumar Yadav enjoyed that shot. Shaping back into the right-hander, on a short of a length, on middle. It sits up to be hit and Sanju whips it over backward square leg for a six.

Ben Shikongo to Ishan Kishan, In the channel, fractionally short, Kishan stands tall and slaps it to deep point, where Ruben Trumpelmann tidies up. They cross.

Ben Shikongo to Ishan Kishan, A hint of away shape for Shikongo, full and outside off, Ishan firms the drive to cover.

Punches thrown by both teams in the first over of the game. Some tidy bowling and one fine shot from Samson to end the over.

Ruben Trumpelmann to Sanju Samson, ! An easy swing of the arms, and Sanju Samson is away!

Ruben Trumpelmann to Sanju Samson, Half a shout for LBW but it dies down quickly!

Ruben Trumpelmann to Sanju Samson, A play and a miss! Another good-length delivery, running across the batter. No feet movement from Samson and he just fiddles at the ball. He is lucky not to nick this one behind.

Ruben Trumpelmann to Sanju Samson, Pushed across the right-hander, fuller than the previous ball. Samson punches it on the up to mid off.

Ruben Trumpelmann to Ishan Kishan, Angled in at the hips, on a back of a length. Kishan turns it behind square leg and gets off the mark with a single.

Ruben Trumpelmann to Ishan Kishan, Much better from Trumpelmann! Closer to the off stump, on a good length. The ball kicks up a bit that catches Ishan by surprise. He fends it down to backward point.

Ruben Trumpelmann to Ishan Kishan, Wide! A bit short and shaping beyond the tramline on off. Kishan thinks about going after it before bailing out of the shot. India are on the board with this extra.
