- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 strikes first ball on debut in the World Cup! Malla is off and running... and then tumbling over as his team-mates join him! Over the wicket, flicked out on middle and leg, and Salt gets a massive leading edge looking to swing over backward square leg. Steepling catch but it's nonchalantly taken by Lamichhane at short fine leg. Floaty delivery from Malla, no spin but it skids on and brings about the miscue from England's pace-setter at the top 5/14.3 nicks him off! Nandan with another massive wicket in the powerplay. He leaps, he roars, as Buttler trudges off. Back of a length again, but this one kicks up off the seam and takes the top edge as Buttler looked to cut. Swallowed by Aasif Sheikh behind the stumps 43/213.4 huge wipe through the length! Bethell took Brook's cue, felt it was his turn to go down-town, but that held in the surface just enough, and a steepling chance plopped into the hands of long-on! Timely wicket 128/46.1 looks to reverse first ball, hit on the pads - and given! Lamichhane is the latest Nepali to go on a victory run. But Banton has reviewed after a chat with his partner. He was hit on the knee roll swinging across the line, quite a big stride down the pitch. What does ball-tracking say? Smacking the top of leg stump! The reverse-sweep is a key weapon for Banton, but it brings about his downfall here 57/318.2 off the toe of the blade out to deep point! Pace back on, Brook wiped through the line but the ball wasn't full enough for the stroke. Two men converged in the deep, and managed to avoid colliding! The end of a fine innings... but how much finer was it looking up to the drinks break? 157/615.3 rocks back, under-edges the cut into his middle stump! A bit of a mercy-killing for Curran, it wasn't his day out there, and that is another timely wicket for Nepal, who just keep hanging in there 137/519.5 swing and a miss! Archer wipes across the short ball, Jacks rushes the bye. The shy misses at the keeper's end but the bowler gathers and Jofra gives up the chase as he flicks off his bails 178/7Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL184/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.2)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Phil Salt, 1.1 ov), 2-43 (Jos Buttler, 4.3 ov), 3-57 (Tom Banton, 6.1 ov), 4-128 (Jacob Bethell, 13.4 ov), 5-137 (Sam Curran, 15.3 ov), 6-157 (Harry Brook, 18.2 ov), 7-178 (Jofra Archer, 19.5 ov)
- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 chipped straight back! Spin does for Bhurtel after a pyrotechnic start. Driven into the pitch and it stops a touch, drawing a chary prod that flies back to the bowler at waist height. Simple take and Nepal are two down 42/23.5 top-edged and taken this time! Dawson breaks through. Slowed it up a touch and the sweep brings about Aasif's downfall. Couldn't get the power as the ball stopped in the pitch and ends up dollying a gentle chance to Wood at short fine leg 37/115.3 heaved across the line, Salt clings on at deep midwicket! That might just be the killer blow for Nepal... it was the product of a fine start to the over... the team needed a boundary, and Aarif cleared his front leg to take it on, but Salt ran in well and got low to close the deal... there is a pause for the third umpire to check the catch was clean, but that ball is safely nestled in Salt's fists 126/414.2 hacked high out to deep cover! Curran gets the breakthrough as the Wankhede goes silent! Pace off from Curran, hits his good length across the right-hander's bows. Airee smashed through the perceived line but his outside edge skewed to Banton, who was well set in the deep 124/317.2 full length cutter, well outside off, Aarif swings for the hills, Buttler gobbles a flying edge! He had to keep swinging, but Archer dangled it just outside of his arc, and gets the breakthrough 146/518.6 has a wipe, Wood finds the stumps! That's gutsy from Wood, cross-seam, pace on, straight through on the full length. Gulshan comes and goes, and now the equation is simple. Ten to win from six! 175/6Extras10 (w 10)TOTAL180/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Aasif Sheikh, 3.5 ov), 2-42 (Kushal Bhurtel, 5.2 ov), 3-124 (Dipendra Singh Airee, 14.2 ov), 4-126 (Rohit Paudel, 15.3 ov), 5-146 (Aarif Sheikh, 17.2 ov), 6-175 (Gulsan Jha, 18.6 ov)
