1.4 to Sagar Pun, And Dawlatzai delivers it on the very first over. He was getting the inward movement from the start of this over, this time also on a length pitches outside off and nips back in sharply. Sagar stays on his crease and tries to clear mid-on but ended up hitting it straight into the hands of Noor Ali there.. 4/1
3.2 to SP Khakurel, Aggression ended up Khakurel's innings. He bangs it short this time on middle and off. Khakurel swivels and goes for the pull over midwicket. Beaten by the pace and off the top edge skies towards mid-on. Noor Ali again settles under it and holds it comfortably.. 11/2

6.6 to P Khadka, And Shenwari gets the captain out. A flatter and quicker delivery outside off which straightens and Khadka thinks the other way. He comes out and tries to slash it hard but ball beats his edge and keeper removes the bails before he can drag his foot back.. 32/3
8.3 to G Malla, And now Nepal in great trouble, lost their fourth wicket. Shenwari bowls a flatter length delivery on middle stump which straightens. Malla plays for the spin and it goes through to hit his back pad. That's plumb infront!. 35/4
10.1 to B Bhandari, Another one bites the dust. Samiullah bowls a flatter delivery on off which spins in a bit and and also kept low to the expectation of Bhandari. He was a late to bring his bat down and went to struck his back pad, umpire raises the finger straightaway!. 44/5

14.2 to PS Airee, Dawlat bowls a back of a length delivery from wide of the crease which shapes back in with good bounce and pace to Airee. He tries to dab it to off but ended up dragging it onto the stumps. Now even hundred looks a tough task for the Nepal team, they need to get a solution in real quick time if they want something challenging.. 60/6
18.4 to SP Gauchan, Dawlat bows a length delivery from wide of the crease which kept low and straightens. Gauchan backs away and tries to loft it over the mid-off but it went flat towards the man there. Mangal moves a bit to his left and grabs it, that's the second wicket for Mangal.. 78/8

0.5 to Mohammad Shahzad, And Karn gets the first wicket for Nepal. He bowls a short of a length delivery on middle and off which nips back in a bit and also kept low. Shahzad goes for a cut but misses it completely and it crashes onto the stumps. Huge cry from Karn and why not!. 6/1
2.1 to Karim Sadiq, fuller in length outside off from Karn. Sadiq stays on his crease and played away from his body. He drives it straight into the hands of mid-off but that's a very low take! Umpires having a check if that carried or not? That looked very close, might have touched the ground before going to Gauchan's hand but tv umpire thinks that's a clean take and he has been given out.. 11/2

12.2 to Nawroz Mangal, And a fine innings of Mangal comes to an end. Regmi bowls a tossed up delivery from round the wicket on middle and it spins away from the charging Mangal. He misses the line and keeper does the rest. A well deserved half-century been missed by him but his team is near to the victory.. 80/3
