8.1 OUT! GONE! Ireland deserve the wicket! This is short and on middle, not that short as Bhurtel goes for the pull but gets a top edge, high in the sky and not far away as the keeper runs forward and holds onto it. 27/1

26 OUT! A loud appeal and the finger is raised. Arjun Saud falls two short of a half ton. A really good knock from him but he will be disappointed to miss out on a half ton. He just played down the wrong line. This lands on middle, it is the leg spinner. Arjun Saud plays outside the line as he tries to defend. He misses and it hits the pad. Ireland have two in no time. 103/4

12.3 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Malla goes! Short of a length and outside off. Malla has a poke but it nips away and takes the outside edge to the right of the keeper. Lorcan Tucker stretches his right hand out and it just sticks into it. 44/2

22.5 OUT! GONE! Ireland have the breakthrough! Short of a length and outside off. Paudel is tempted as he slashes his bat only to get an outside edge to the keeper. Easy catch! Much needed wicket for Ireland. 94/3

35.2 OUT! TAKEN! That is a soft dismissal! Just as the partnership was starting to look good, it has been broken. A good bowling change then by the Irish. Barry McCarthy comes on and strikes. Shorter and outside off, a nothing delivery. Bhim Sharki looks to cut but fails to get on top of the bounce. He cuts but straight to Andy McBrine at point who takes it. 162/5

37.2 OUT! TAKEN! The big fish is out of here. The man who Nepal were relying on to take them to a decent total falls. Length and around off, Kushal Malla looks to slam it over covers but it goes off the splice and it is an easy catch for the fielder there. Nepal slip further. Poor shot one can say but that is how he plays. 169/7

37 OUT! UP GOES THE FINGER! Dipendra Singh Airee. the hero from the last game for Nepal is walking back. Two in quick succession yet again for the Irish and Nepal are in big trouble again. This lands around off and then spins back in. Dipendra Singh Airee looks to defend but misses to get hit on the pads. That looked out. 169/6

48.3 OUT! TAKEN! Mark Adair makes no mistake! A slower one outside off, Sandeep Lamichhane is through the shot as he tries to loft it down the ground. He hits it high up in the air towards the bowler who runs back and takes it. 249/8

49 OUT! TAKEN! Karan KC can't believe it but he has to walk back! Shorter and outside off, Karan KC looks to pull, there is a faint top edge on it and it is taken by the keeper. 255/9

4.4 OUT! TAKEN! Nepal have the first one! A length ball, width given once again and McBrine slashes his blade but finds Kushal Bhurtel at point who grabs it cleanly. 21/1

12 OUT! CHOPPED ON! Short in length and slanting on middle. Stirling bends his body to dab this to third man but gets a bottom edge back onto the stumps. Ireland in slight trouble. 60/3

5.3 OUT! GONE! Just how Andy McBrine got out! A length ball, outside off, space given for Balbirnie to free his arms. He cuts but straight to point where Dipendra Singh Airee takes it with ease. 23/2

26 OUT! TAKEN! There is the wicket Nepal wanted and they are back into the game. Sandeep Lamichhane gets rid of Harry Tector! Not sure if that shot was needed right now. This is tossed up outside off, this is lofted down towards long off. It is taken by the fielder by moving to his left. In trouble now are Ireland. 134/5

22.2 OUT! LBW! The partnership has been finally broken! Nepal needed this one as these two were taking the game away! Karan KC serves it full and angling on off. Tucker lunges forward to defend but gets beaten on the inside edge and pings him on the pads. An appeal and up goes the finger. 118/4

40.3 OUT! TAKEN! Straight into the hands. Karan KC has the last laugh and Nepal just about hanging in there. Shorter and on middle, Curtis nails the pull but to square leg. The fielder makes no mistake. A superb innings from him but his side would have liked it had he gone on for longer. 218/6

44.1 OUT! TAKEN! George Dockrell has given it away! Not sure why did he play that shot! Fuller and on middle, this is hit straight down towards long on. Fielder makes no mistake. Nepal still in it. 31 more needed. 238/7

48.5 OUT! TAKEN! Mark Adair has thrown his wicket away. He looked for glory, tried to finish it with a biggie. This is shorter and outside off, it is cut towards deep point. Gulsan Jha makes no mistake. Still 5 needed in 7. 264/8
