England vs Namibia Live Score Updates: England win by 41 runs, keep Super 8 hopes alive

 
Over Summary: 1 0 1 W Wd L1 0; NAM 84-3 after 10 overs
Gerhard Erasmus (1), JJ Smit (0); Jofra Archer 2-0-15-1
 
Wicket!! David Wiese is also caught and that would be it for Namibia as they are three down, Wiese thanks the crowd as he heads back to the dressing room for one last time in Namibian colours. 
 
That would be it for England as they win by 41 runs and get miles ahead of Scotland in terms of net run rate. The only way England can now be knocked out is if Australia lose to the Scots or that match is called off. Both options at the moment look highly impossible.
