Ruben Trumpelmann to Sanjay Krishnamurthi, SIX, fifty off just 23 balls and he gets there in style! Namibia, who were so good at the death against India, are being taken to the cleaners here. Goes for a yorker outside off, misses by a few inches and it's enough for Krishnamurthi who hammers it for a flat six wide of long-off. That hardly rose 10 feet above the ground. Krishnamurthi looks to the heavens before raising his bat

Ruben Trumpelmann to Sanjay Krishnamurthi, 1 run, Erasmus takes the catch but the ball slips out of his hand as he's rolling on the turf. Surely this is going to be not out. He's not in control of his own movement so the catch isn't complete. Third umpire has to make the call and he makes the right one - NOT OUT flashes on the big screen. Krishnamurthi thought he was gone. Was walking off before it was referred. Full in the slot, slices it in the air off the outside half and Erasmus seems to be running too hard to his left at long-off. Does manage to grab it with both hands but as he's rolling on the turf and trying to stand up, it pops out of his hand

Got it away through extra cover and into the gap
