OUT! CAUGHT! Curtis Campher gets the much-needed breakthrough. It is once again Kevin O'Brien who takes a stunner. Curtis Campher bowls it on a good length, on off. Zane Green uses his feet and lifts it towards mid off. He doesn't manage to clear the man and Kevin O'Brien back-pedals, leaps, and takes the catch. Namibia lose their second wicket.

Craig Young to Gerhard Erasmus
NOT OUT! Length ball, on off. Gerhard Erasmus looks to defend but misses. The ball goes through the gate to the keeper. Neil Rock and Craig Young appeal for a caught behind but the umpire says no. Ireland take a review. UltraEdge shows a flat line as the ball passes the bat. Gerhard Erasmus survives. The ball brushed the off pole slightly but the bails did not fall off and hence, this will be not out.
