Stumps: Zimbabwe Provinces 339/6 decl (Chakabva 118*, Klazinga 2/46), Namibia 107 (AJ Burger 23, Mawhire 5/11) & 218/3 (following on - DH Botha 104*, Cremer 2/64). Provinces lead by 14 runs.
The proverbial "game of two halves" in Windhoek today, as Zimbabwe started as they finished off yesterday by removing Namibia for a paltry 107 (led by an outstanding 5'fer by captain Blessing Mawhire, who conceded just 11 runs in 9.3 overs along the way). With the advantage firmly in their hands, Provinces enforced the follow-on and started well by removing opener AJ Burger for just 3. At that point, though, Namibia suddenly rediscovered how to play, and after digging their heels in saw out the day to end on 218/3 - still 14 runs behind Provinces' first-innings total, but in a position from where they could conceivably salvage a draw.

Suddenly, it looks like we're in for an exciting final day. Scorecard for today is below the cut.
