Shamar Joseph to Lokesh Bam, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Just when Nepal were trying to get going, they lose another. Shamar Joseph adjust his line, in fact over-does it as he pushes a short delivery down the leg. Lokesh Bam gets inside the line and looks to pull it fine. The ball takes the glove on the way through to the keeper. Shai Hope moves to his left and takes a comfortable catch. Umpire has his finger up and Lokesh Bam doesn't bother to review as he knows he made contact. Lokesh Bam c Shai Hope b Shamar Joseph 13(15) [4s-2]

Jason Holder to Aarif Sheikh, out Caught by Matthew Forde!! It's gone straight up and is held. Nepal continue to sink further. Holder bowls a fullish delivery on middle, Aarif Sheikh eyes lit up and looks to go for a big heave, closes the bat face early and gets a leading edge that goes high in the air. Forde covers a significant amount of distance moving to his right from mid-wicket, settles under a swirling ball and takes a good catch. He was circling a bit and would have probably been distracted by the converging fielder (Akeal) but held his nerves to cling on. Wicket number two for Holder.

Jason Holder to Aasif Sheikh, out Caught by Shimron Hetmyer!! Wicket off the first ball for Holder. He can't believe he got a wicket off that delivery. Has a big smile. This was sprayed down the pads, Aasif Sheikh could have hit that anywhere. He picks it up off his pads well, but for his bad luck he hits it straight to the man stationed at fine leg. Hetmyer didn't have to move an inch. Takes a simple catch just inside the ropes. Aasif Sheikh walks back shaking his head. Aasif Sheikh c Shimron Hetmyer b Jason Holder 11(10) [4s-2]

Matthew Forde to Rohit Paudel, out Lbw!! Nepal don't lose the review but Rohit Paudel departs. Forde goes wide of the crease and angles it into the right-hander. Paudel falls over on the flick and is rapped on the pad. Looked very adjacent to the stumps in the first replay. The umpire had no hesitation, but Paudel wanted to take it upstairs. Replays show the ball was clipping top of leg-stump. Rohit Paudel lbw b Matthew Forde 5(7) [4s-1]

The new ball skidded off the surface and made it harder for Bhurtel, who was on his back foot. Sneaks through bat and pad and shatters the middle stump. Bhurtel can't believe what just happened. He has a long walk back to the pavillion. Kushal Bhurtel b Akeal Hosein 1(3)
