- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.4 and that is the second opener out. Short ball from Sole, and pulled straight to Mommsen at square leg who takes the catch 48/28 And now Scotland make the breakthrough. He traps van der Westhuizen on the back foot and it is a clear lbw. Great knock though. 47/125.5 stupid from Erasmus. He sweeps the ball straight to fine short leg where Evans is waiting to take a simple catch. Just as he was getting set in. 119/611.2 What a catch. Williams pulls a short ball high in the air towards deep square leg. De Lange, running backwards manages to dive backwards, and outstretched takes the catch low down. It's a stunning catch. World class. 55/312.5 short ball from Sole, driven in the air straight to Evans at mid off. Commentator's curse strikes I think 56/418 caught and bowled as Viljoen plays the ball back to Watt, perfect catching height and speed. 82/528.5 Pressure of the scorecard getting to Namibia. Burger goes to sweep, misses and the ball removes the bails. 133/734.4 Green goes to reverse sweep, misses and the ball strikes him on the back pad. The umpire things about it, and gives him out. 168/837.2 Smith goes for a six, but picks out Mommsen at long off. A great knock 193/939.4 And that is the win for Scotland. Groenewald smashes the ball high in the air to long on where MacLeod takes the catch. That marks a 51 run win for Scotland. We come back tomorrow for the second game in this series.
