3.1 to Aasif Sheikh, In the airrr.. And taken! Hard length ball darted on the stumps, Sheikh charges down the track and goes for the big heave, plays down the wrong line and mistimes the ball in the air over mid-on. Carty tracks back following the flight of the ball and gobbles it up while running backwards.. 12/2 18.3 to DS Airee, Bidaisee takes a stunner! Short pitched ball width on offer outside off, Airee gets on top of the bouncer and slices it hard towards deep extra cover. Bidaisee sprints in, launches into a fully stretched dive, and grabs the catch, holding onto the ball as he hits the turf with his extended arms. That's a spectacular grab!. 135/6 18.5 to S Jora, Karima Gore takes a blinder! Low full toss ball down the leg side on the pads, plays the flick shot and hits it flat towards deep backward square leg. A spectacular effort from the substitute fielder, Karima Gore!

Getting his hands just in time under the dipping ball, he secures the catch with both hands!. 136/7 18.6 to Karan KC, Back to back wickets for Holder! Slower bouncer on the stumps, shuffles across and tries to play the swivel pull shot, mistimed the stroke and finds the leading edge to short fine leg.

10.4 to Kushal Malla, Bidaisee finds the breakthrough! Quicker length ball around the fifth stump line, follows the line of the ball and hoicks it with the inner part of the bat to the left of long on.

Generously flighted length ball in the slot, goes for the big heave and miscues it towards deep mid wicket, does not get quite hold of it and finds Auguste in the outfield area.. 89/4 16.5 to Gulsan Jha, Carty juggles twice and finally holds on to it! Tossed up googly ball outside off, plays it inside-out and mistimes the stroke with the toe end of the bat. Jha hits it straight to Carty at long off, who didn't have to move an inch. That should have been a simple, waist-high catch for Carty, but he turned it into a spectacle! After juggling the ball twice, he finally held on by diving forward to complete the grab.. 119/5 | ||||||||||

19.6 to FA Allen, From Kathmandu, Pokhara, Jhapa, and all the way to the peak of Mount Everest and the Annapurna range, the Nepalese cricketers have achieved the unthinkable! This is a historic first win for the men in blue and red against a full member nation, a victory that will resonate across the country. The team showed the courage of the highest spirit and the willpower of the mountain areas. What a monumental moment for the nation to secure this win! And look at the hundreds of Nepal fans in the stands, continuously cheering and shouting for their team for four hours or more! You simply cannot write a better script. Nepal, this is your moment to cherish, your moment to enjoy, and your moment to thrive! Alright, back to cricket now. It was a fuller length ball in the slot around the off stump line, Allen hangs back deep inside the crease and whacks it straight and flat towards long off. Bhurtel took the initial grab, tossed the ball high into the field as he lost his balance and went over the ropes, then jumped back in to complete a spectacular catch!. 129/9 | ||||||||||

8.5 to AA Jangoo, Massive wicket! Full and overpitched ball on the pads, gets down on one knee and plays the slog sweep, mistimes the stroke and strikes the leading edge, skies it high towards deep backward square leg. Jora settles underneath near the ropes, bends down and completes the catch!. 53/4 | ||||||||||

7.4 to J Andrew, Andrew has holed out! It was there to be hit, a slot ball on the stumps. Andrew goes downtown and heaves it straight in the air.

Cool as a cucumber!. 47/3 | ||||||||||

14.1 to JO Holder, Bhurtel strikes and gets the big fish! Length ball on middle-leg, dot balls piling up and Holder tries to break the shackles. Holder goes for the big heave and connects the inner part of the bat, did not get enough elevation or power to clear the ropes, finds the deep mid wicket fielder there.. 76/6 16.3 to N Bidaisee, Bidaisee's misery ends as he dislodged the bails himself! Back of a length ball on the pads, moves deep inside the crease and punches off the back foot across the line, loses his footing a bit there and goes a step more backward, disturbs the stumps with the boot and has to depart!. 94/7 | ||||||||||
