England stay alive in T20 World Cup with rain-hit win over Namibia

Anything other than an England win would have seen Jos Buttler's men knocked out and they were left fearing an early exit when rain delayed the scheduled start by three hours. England, in a match eventually reduced from 11 to 10 overs per side by a fresh downpour, collapsed to 13-2 after losing the toss. But a stand of 56 between the Yorkshire duo of Harry Brook (47 not out) and Jonny Bairstow (31) revived England's innings. Namibia were left with a target of 126 under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method for rain-interrupted matches.
