Namibia win the toss and put Scotland in to bat in Abu Dhabi.
Ooooooooof, Munsey gone first ball, bowled by Trumpelmann. Absolutely the worst start imaginable for Scotland.
Little bit unlucky for Munsey on second viewing, the ball was outside off and he chopped it onto the stumps attempting a cut.
Jesus haggis-munching Christ, MacLeod's edged behind for a duck off his second legitimate delivery faced. This is bad, bad, bad.
Now Berrington, very next delivery, LBW for a golden duck! Again a bit unlucky, stumps were umpire's call, but he's got to go. Scotland 2-3, without a single run scored off the bat so far.
First boundary for Scotland in the fifth over, now into double figures. Small milestones. 16-3.
Wallace LBW for 4. Can only hope when Mel Gibson plays him in the film adaptation, he'll score a century and bowl Namibia out single-handed. Scotland 18-4.
A decent partnership from Leask and Cross in the circumstances, Scotland have made it to 43-4 at the halfway mark. Need to take it as deep as possible, drag that score up above 120 if feasible, then there's still hope.
Four and a six back to back from Leask. Good batting, potential counter-attack on.
Or maybe not. Cross bowled for 19, Scotland 57-5.
Greaves dropped by the keeper on 0. Needs to punish them for that mistake now.
