nice drive through the covers, looks like two but the ball is wet and slips out the fielders hand, and they take a third
Nepal vs U.S.A., at Pianoro, Aug 14 2010 - Match Result
The umpires are having a chat, and the players are coming off as the rain continues to fall. The outlook isn't great but more news for you as we get it.
The rains coming down hard now and the umpires and players are pessimistic about the chances of any more play. If this match is called off today, it will be replayed from scratch on the rest day on Monday 16th August.
Looks like the rain is easing a little now, but the outfield is very damp and muddy. The umpires are going out to the square for a little look. I'm sorry to inform you all that the rain is still coming down pretty hard, and there will be no play soon, maybe a few overs later this afternoon but it looks doubtful.
The latest we can start for a game is 5:15pm local time, but the rains still falling and parts of the outfield are turning to mud, I think things will be called off shortly, just waiting for confirmation from the umpires.
That's it. Play has been called off for the day and there is no result. The rest day on Monday will now be a replay for this game where Nepal and USA will try again at Pianoro. Do join us then, and tomorrow where we will be bringing you Cricinfo's unrivalled coverage of this WCL Division 4.
For now, from a very wet Italy, it's goodbye from Callum Stewart, and we hope you log on to Cricinfo soon.
Are Nepal thinking cleverly about Duckworth-Lewis here? Two wickets down and the rains still pouring
too short and he rocks back to pull the ball through square leg, lovely shot
sharp lines outside off-stump, another leave from the batsmen
Mandal shuffles across his stumps and watches the ball before leaving it alone
shot of the day so far as he connects with a flowing cover drive off a fller ball that races away to the boundary
left alone outside the off-stump on a good length
The rains still coming down, and the umpires are having a little chat with the batsmen. Orlando Baker will take over from Shuja
left alone outside off-stump
cut away through point and a mis-field gifts them a single
too short and a well timed pull goes straight to fine leg, good shot that deserved more than one run
a play and a miss outside off-stump, oohs and aahs from the USA fielders
shorter and slower ball, doesn't carry and the keeper fumbles on the second bounce
short and wide this time, Mandal shapes for an uppercut but leaves it and another wide
better this time, still outside off and left alone
and again, can't find his line to start off with
too far outside off
blocked to the leg-side
Still raining as Allen comes on to bowl next
easy single in to the covers, they look for two but it's not there
single to the gap at midwicket
blocked on the front foot
blocked off the back foot to short leg
