IRELAND moved to the top of the InterContinental Cup table after completing an innings win over Namibia in Windhoek.

The hosts' 8th wicket pair of JJ Smit and Zane Green had defied the Irish attack for 18 overs to take the game into a fourth day, and their resistance continued on the flnal morning.

They had extended their partnership to 80 in 201 balls when Paul Stirling (2-27) had Smit (45) well caught by skipper William Porterfield at silly mid-off.

George Dockrell (3-55) finished the game in the following over as he first had Zane Green (35) smartly caught by Ed Joyce at second slip, then trapped Christopher Coombe first ball as Namibia were dismissed for 212.

Next up for Ireland in the competition is an away game against Papua New Guinea in the New Year - most likely to be held in Australia.
