Six!
FOUR! INTO OUT!
Full, around middle, another wrong 'un, Bethell chips it down to long on for a run.
The googly, around middle, Jacob Bethell goes for the reverse sweep but misses and is hit on the pads. The keeper starts to appeal for the LBW but then quietens down. Going down leg, probably.
Full, around off, Brook leans and works it through mid on for a single.
Sandeep Lamichhane comes back onto bowl. And Brook is straightaway after him. Jumps down the track and swings hard, but is not to the pitch of the ball. Still, goes through with the shot, miscuing it through mid-wicket for a couple. 50-RUN STAND IS UP, IN 36 BALLS!
Down the leg side, JB gets the broom out this time. But that area is covered too. Short fine leg stops it. 14 from the over!
A touch short now, outside off, Jacob goes back and cuts, but finds point this time.
Landed outside off, punched towards cover.
SIX MORE! Full and down the leg side, Bethell gets down on a knee and sweeps it powerfully over backward square leg! 50 IN 29 BALLS for Bethell, what a way to begin your World Cup campaign.
