6.40am: 20 overs gone: The early demons in the track have all but gone and Foggo (18*) and Crockwell (13*) are settling in at the crease. The game’s not been without drama though. Crockwell came close to getting out in the 14th over when he mistimed an attempted pull off the bowling of Sarel Burger and saw the ball fly just past the outstretched hand of Nicholas Scholtz at point. 36-0

6am: Ten overs gone and it’s all about survival for Bermuda openers Chris Foggo (7*) and Fiqre Crockwell (9*) in the face of a firery opening spell from Louie Klazinga and Craig Williams. The Namibia duo are getting plenty of early bounce from the Wanderers wicket, and are beating the bat almost every other ball. However Foggo and Crockwell are looking solid, and if they can see off the first assault, the wicket should get flatter as the day goes on. 21-0.

5.20am: Eventful first over with Namibia pace bowler Louie Klazinga hitting Chris Foggo in the side of the head, first ball. The Bermuda batsman takes some time to recover before returning to the crease and surviving a big LBW shout the next ball. Edges the third ball for four, before Klazinga sends the ball flying through at chest hit for three consecutive delivers. 4-0

4.30am: Bermuda have won the toss and will bat on the first day of the Intercontinental Shield match against Namibia at Wanderers Stadium in Windhoek.

Bermuda have recalled St George’s bowler Ryan Steede to the side, while Malachi Jones is expected to bat at six.

Namibia meanwhile have the dangerous Gerrie Snyman back from New Zealand, in a side that also includes skipper Craig Williams, and teenage opener Raymond van Schoor.

Namibia: Raymond van Schoor, Ewald Steenkamp, Sarel Burger, Craig Williams, Louie Burger, Gerrie Snyman, Nicholas Scholtz, LP van der Westhuizen, Toby Verwey, Louie Klazinga, Bernard Scholtz.

Bermuda: Chris Foggo, Fiqre Crockwell, Stephen Outerbridge, David Hemp, Irving Romaine, Malachi Jones, Jekon Edness, Rodney Trott, Justin Pitcher, Ryan Steede, Stefan Kelly.
