9.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Who else but Shardul Thakur, he has the last laugh and brings an end to a brilliant knock by Kushal Bhurtel! Bowls it on a good length, shaping away, outside off, Kushal Bhurtel waits on the back foot and tries to run it down to third man. The ball moves away enough to catch the outside edge and Ishan Kishan makes no mistake this time. A much-needed breakthrough for India. 65/1

29.5 OUT! TAKEN! The move to bring back Mohammed Siraj pays off for Rohit Sharma and India! Bowls it on a back of a length, angling in at the hips, Aasif Sheikh waits on the back foot and tries to get on top of the bounce. Looks to whip it across the line but closes the bat face early. Gets a leading edge and the ball lobs to short cover where Virat Kohli does run in a bit too much but stretches out his right hand to complete a one-handed catch. Aasif Sheikh departs but not before playing a remarkable knock. 132/5

16 OUT! CHOPPED ON! Ravindra Jadeja bowls this one on a nagging length and floats it a bit outside off. Bhim Sharki doesn't move his feet but tries to play away from the body. The ball takes the inside edge and goes on to crash into the stumps. Sharki departs after a slow start and India now have their second wicket. 77/2

20 OUT! TAKEN! A sharp reflex catch at first slip by the skipper and Ravindra Jadeja gets another wicket. This is smartly bowled by Jadeja who just pulls the length back and keeps the line tight around off. Rohit Paudel goes on the back foot instead of coming forward and the ball turns away ever so slightly. Paudel pushes at it and gets an outside edge that Rohit Sharma pouches with both hands low to his left. Excellent move to get the slip in. 93/3

21.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Ravindra Jadeja is on a roll here and he has his third wicket now! Gives the ball air again and serves it on off, tempting the batter to go down the ground. Kushal Malla accepts the bait and plants his foot forward to loft it down the ground. The timing is way off and he ends up spooning the simplest of catches to mid off where Mohammed Siraj makes absolutely no mistake. Nepal losing their way here as they are now four down. 101/4

31.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Pitches this one right up around the off stump, inviting the drive and it is the cross-seamer as well. Gulsan Jha does go for the cover drive but gets a slight outside edge on it through to the keeper. Ishan Kishan pouches it safely a bit low to his left and Mohammed Siraj picks up his second wicket. Also, Rohit Sharma is seen telling Siraj that he should be bowling more in that area. 144/6

41.1 OUT! LBW! As plumb as it can get and Hardik Pandya has his first wicket now! Comes from over the wicket and rolls his fingers over the ball for an off-cutter, on a length, at the stumps, Dipendra Singh Airee gets forward to work it across the line. He plays down the wrong line and gets trapped right in front of the stumps. The umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger. Dipendra Singh Airee goes for a review, more in hope though. The UltraEdge shows no bat and it is three reds on Ball Tracking. Nepal lose Airee and the review. 194/7

47.2 OUT! TAKEN! Well held by Ishan Kishan and Sompal Kami's fiery knock comes to an end. Mohammad Shami serves this one on a hard length in the channel and gets it to bounce a bit extra. Kami looks to stay back and ride the bounce by guiding it fine but gets an outside edge. Kishan springs to his right and pouches it nicely. Kami is a bit distraught with that dismissal but has done a fine job for his side. 228/8

47.4 OUT! RUN OUT! A complete lack of communication and Nepal are nine down now. Mohammad Shami takes pace off and bowls it on a shorter length outside off. Sandeep Lamichhane taps it straight to extra cover and looks to scamper through for the single. Karan KC sends him back but its too late. The substitute fielder Axar Patel picks up the ball and throws it to the keeper. Ishan Kishan dislodges the bails and Lamichhane isn't even in the frame. 229/9

48.2 OUT! TIMBER! Mohammed Siraj finishes things off and picks up his third wicket as well. Full and quick at 142 clicks, sliding into the off pole. Lalit Rajbanshi stays put and looks to drive it away but is beaten all ends up. The ball goes on to castle into the off stump and Rajbanshi departs for a duck and Nepal are bundled out for 230 runs in 48.2 overs. 230/10
