ENG 204

Airee to Bethell, OUT

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

Jacob Bethell c Lokesh Bam b Airee 55 (35b 4x4 4x6) SR: 157.14

With that wicket, it's time for a drink on a sweltering afternoon. Nepal are still brawling here. A couple more wickets could make all the difference between 200-plus and something much more palatable.

Dipendra Singh to Sam Curran, out Bowled!! Sam Curran b Dipendra Singh 2(8)

Dipendra Singh to Sam Curran, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

19.5W

Karan KC to Archer, OUT

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

Jofra Archer run out (†Aasif Sheikh/Karan KC) 1 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33

Jacks back on strike. 180 is that there-or-thereabouts total... which side of it will it be?

England has finished with 184/7 after 20 overs

England would be really happy at how they finished. Nepal opted to go in with Karan KC for the last over and 21 came off it. This after Nepal fought back really well through their troika of spinners in Lamichhane, Bhurtel and Airee. The phase from 14-17 produced just 19 but the last three overs England got 45. That gives them the momentum. Some balls were holding and there was appreciable turn for Lamichhane. Adil Rashid would love that. Two good knocks from Bethell and Brook earlier on. The left-hander was helped by some poor bowling from Sher Malla and Brook showed his great eye with a couple of eye-catching sixes. The finish came from Jacks who struggled initially. This definitely looks a better pitch than the one we saw last night in the India v USA game. How will Nepal approach the chase? Back for it in 5 minutes...

"England get to the highest score so far in this tournament. Nepal need to find one 20 runs over, two 12-14 runs overs, and they'd be home, if they kept wickets in tact. Adil Rashid is the key."

"im just loving how associates are giving an equal fight to the full members. good to see cricket's growth."
