Brad Evans to Zane Green. Back of a length, wide outside off stump on the back foot pulling, missed for 1 run, direct hit by Taylor. That concludes the first innings. Namibia has posted a defendable score, thanks to the excellent performances of Malan Kruger and Nicol Loftie-Eaton with the bat, as well as a quick-fire knock from the skipper that helped maintain the team's momentum. On the other hand, the Zimbabwe bowlers struggled to restrain their opponents and were quite expensive today. They will look to improve their batting effort to secure the series. Join us for the run chase!
