    Swing and a miss. The shake of the head from Lokesh.

    Even 10 from 3, Nepal are well in.

    He's bowled him. It was a bit of a free hit. He's swung hard and missed. It's going to be 10 from six. Everyone can breathe just briefly.

    Gulsan Jha b Wood 1 (Nep 175-6)

    Gulsan Jha with an almighty heave but Luke Wood is full with a yorker and knocks out the off stump.

    Really good work from Will Jacks. It was hit hard. 10 from seven.

    Nepal are a couple of edges away...

  7. Nep 175-5

    Lokesh Bam hits Luke Wood down the pitch and it dies on Will Jacks who goes for the catch and the ball

    Next ball and Jacks prevents a four after a slog down the ground from Bam.

    Former England fast bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Jos Buttler is going up the pitch to slow the game down and talk with Wood and Brook.

    It's now panic stations for England.

    A quiet three deliveries changes the game again but this is critical for England to nail a plan and make sure you execute it.

  9. Nep 172-5

    Another wide for Luke Wood...

    Gulp.

    13 off nine balls for the greatest moment in Nepal's cricket history.

  10. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Take a breath. Harry Brook just has to try and calm his bowler down.

    There's been nothing wrong with his plans from a captaincy perspective, unless he's encouraging his bowlers to bowl leg-cutters or slower balls every ball.

  11. Nep 171-5

    Lokesh Bam smashes Luke Wood back over his head. Four!

    A conference between Jos Buttler, Harry Brook and Luke Wood.

  12. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It's completely flipped on its head. Prakash's curse has worked.

  13. Nep 167-5

    Nepal coach Stuart Law is pacing about.

    Dot ball from Luke Wood.

  14. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Length good. Line not.

  15. Nep 167-5

    Another wide from Luke Wood...

    England are flapping here.

  16. Nep 166-5

    Wide from Luke Wood.

    Jelly legs for England?

  17. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Can England hold their nerve? A boundary here would make it interesting.

  18. Nep 165-5

    Top edge slash from Lokesh Bam off Luke Wood, and it flies over the head of Jos Buttler for four.

    20 off 11.

  19. Nep 161-5

    A single for Lokesh Bam.

    Pakistan smashed 30 off 12 balls yesterday.

    Nepal need 24 off two overs. Hold on to your hats.

    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Harry Brook will suddenly be very nervous. The noise around Mumbai.

    The game was done. But all of a sudden...
