  2. Before we go, this was that wonderful delivery from Jasprit Bumrah.

    Unerring accuracy!

  3. 'Very impressed with Namibia bowling'

    India captain Suryakumar Yadav speaking to Sky Sports: "Pretty good game from everyone. It was not an easy wicket to bat on. The ball was topping a little bit but I don't want to take the credit away from the Namibia bowlers. Very impressed with their bowling. After 6-7 overs, we thought we would go past 240. But it's a game of cricket. it's a great leveller.

    "It was big plus to see [Jasprit] Bumrah bowl all four overs. He is all set to go for the next game as well. With Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel, it's a difficult combination to play against. The way [Hardik] Pandya bowled and batted is also a big boost for the team.

    "Every game is important. We did start a little scratchy but I think we are on the road."

  4. 'Chakravarthy broke the back of our chase'

    Namibia captainGerhard Erasmus speaking to Sky Sports: "I thought after the powerplay that we had that it is quite a small ground and a bit of dew settling might make it tough for the spinners in the back-half of that innings. So yes, after 26 overs of cricket, we did still really feel that we were in with a chance. Unfortunately, that spell of Varun Chakravarthy broke the back of our chase. It has been a matter of getting the top and bottom end of our innings to a high-standard to be able to compete with these bigger teams.

    "There wasn't any change on the pitch, obviously there was just quality on the ball from India's bowlers and that just showed in the middle period.

    "Perhaps the slower conditions in Chennai might suit us. There's still a lot in our tank and I don't think we are playing at 100% just yet, so we would like to see that happen. We have a lot of firepower in our batting but we aren't quite getting enough balls under the belt to get into a position where we can show our firepower."

  5. Hardik Pandya is right - India have a lot of options in their bowling department, but nobody else managed to take back-to-back wickets today...

  6. 'Playing for India my number one priority'

    India's Hardik Pandya speaking to Sky Sports: "I am just enjoying the sport. I had a good couple of months to prepare for this tournament and get the body right. Touch wood, everything is going well.

    "I have always taken pride in my batting as an all-rounder. Whenever I get the opportunity, both the skills are managed rightly. Batting is always close to my heart and, when it happens, it adds more sugar to the cake.

    "Playing for my country has always been a pride and my number one priority, but it needs extra hard work.

    "We have a lot of options in bowling, with fast and spin bowling covered. That's the strength of this team."

    If you were grading India's performance as a teacher, you'd grade it as B-?

    230 was on for India and they went a little sloppy, losing wickets, and their innings petered out. India will be happy with how they bowled in the last 10 overs of the game and they'll be happy to have two wins on the board, but there's lots to improve on.

    India win by 93 runs

    A dominant win in the end for India!

    Suryakumar Yadav's team make it two wins in two after beating the United States in their opening game of this T20 World Cup.

    Their performance had everything from big hitting to technical bowling. There were plenty of positives to take away, which will only breed confidence.

    Now a huge match-up against Pakistan awaits them on Sunday.

    WICKET

    Green hit wicket 11 (Nam 116-10)

    Shivam Dube gets his breakthrough as well - at the death!

    I don't know why but Zane Green tried the reverse ramp and ended up hitting his own stumps...

    That's a disappointing way for Namibia to end this match!

    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    It was quite comfortably defended in the end. Why didn't he go fast and full?

  12. Nam 116-9

    The Delhi crowd cheers Hardik Pandya on as he is at the top of his mark for the hat-trick ball.

    Max Heingo is on strike but it ends up a bit underwhelming from Pandy as the new Namibia batter gets behind a short delivery from Pandy and defends it.

    It's like buses!

    Hardik Pandya takes another wicket in the blink of an eye, with Ben Shikongo heading off the pitch on a duck.

    Brilliant stuff from the fast-medium bowler in the closing stages of this game. He's on a hat-trick!

    WICKET

    Scholtz c Patel b Pandya 4 (Nam 116-8)

    Axar Patel takes a catch right on cue!

    Hardik Pandya has his wicket, we all knew it was coming!

    Bernard Scholtz has to go for four off four, but it didn't look like he was going to have too much impact with the bat.

    India are one step closer to victory....

  15. Nam 116-7

    We are into the final three overs at Arun Jaitley Stadium.

    Hardik Pandya returns to bowl out his final over. He is still on the hunt for his first wicket of the night.

  16. Tash Farrant
    England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Bumrah is smiling - he knows how good that delivery is. It angled in, from an awkward angle, what can you do with that as a batter?

    WICKET

    Trumpelmann b Bumrah 6 (Nam 111-7)

    Jasprit Bumrah says: 'The first time was so nice, I had to try it twice!'

    He unleashes another beautiful yorker and this time it pays off to dispatch Ruben Trumpelmann.

    He has really come into his own the longer this game has gone on. The cobwebs have been well and truly dusted off.

  18. Nam 110-6

    Shivam Dube really isn't finding much consistency with the ball tonight. The right-arm medium fast bowler concedes two no balls plus a wide in his latest set.

    He does mix up his pace well though, and this time he limits Namibia to a couple of singles.

    Here comes Jasprit Bumrah for his final over...

  19. Nam 107-6

    Shivam Dube starts his latest set with a no ball, but Ruben Trumpelmann just can't execute a slog into the leg side on the free hit.

    The batter kicks the ground in frustration. The disappointment is understandable, particularly after getting off to a brilliant start in this run chase.

    A couple of dot balls plus a wide follow.

    I love watching Hardik Pandya play cricket - he's so full of expression.
