  1. Drinks break

    Nep 56-0 | Target 171

    Final over of the powerplay and Brad Currie keeps it relatively quiet for Scotland.

    But they will feel they’ve missed two big opportunities as there's more luck for Nepal.

    Nepal almost gift a wicket trying to sneak a single but a direct hit and it could have been a wicket.

    Then Aasif Sheikh gloves one behind but it’s called a wide. Replays show he definitely got a touch and Matthew Cross can’t hold on to it.

  2. That mighty over has put Nepal in the driving seat.

    A HUGE OVER FOR NEPAL!

    23 runs coming off it - including three sixes and a four!

    Khushal Bhurtel punishes Mark Watt with four, six, six in the first three balls and Aasif Sheikh wrap up the carnage with another maximum over deep backward square.

    Nepal’s chase finally has lift off.

    Frustration for Brad Wheal as he is hit for a six by Aasif Sheikh. He will feel he should have had a wicket instead.

    Those decisions are tough for the umpire because they sound woody, like a nick.

    That's frustrating for the bowler - I don't think it's ever happened to me before, I like to think the bails are coming off if I hit the wicket. Brad Wheal needs to bend his back more...

  7. Nep 19-0

    Target 171

    Extraordinary!

    The review shows the ball actually clipped the bails on the way through - but somehow it doesn't come off!

    Lucky escape for Nepal and Scotland can’t believe it!

  8. Scotland review

    Nep 19-0 | Target 171

    Brad Wheal is Scotland’s fourth bowler in four overs.

    He has a huge shout for caught behind as the ball whistles past the bat, and there was definitely a noise as the ball passed the bat.

    But nothing doing from umpire KN Ananthapadmanabhan and Scotland will review it.

  9. Nep 18-0

    Target 171

    Mark Watt is into the attack for the third over as Scotland’s first change.

    Only six runs off it in the end, thanks to a brilliant bit of fielding from Brandon McMullen on the final ball, sprinting round the rope to cut off what looked like a certain boundary for Kushal Bhurtel.

    One thing people forget (or don't know) is that Ian Harvey, the great Australian all-rounder, is on the Nepal backroom staff. He was one of the pioneers of the slower ball which brought Nepal so much success earlier...

  11. Nep 12-0

    Target 171

    A good comeback from Brad Currie as he concedes just one more from the remainder of his first over.

  12. Tymal Mills

    Bhurtel knew what he'd get from Brad Currie and he threw caution to the wind, with the ball swinging back into his arc.

    Nep 11-0

    Target 171

    First real reason for the huge Nepal crowd to celebrate in this second innings.

    Kushal Bhurtel launches a clean six over long-on off Brad Currie.

    Nep 5-0 | Target 171

    This is a tough chance for Brad Currie as gets his hands to a shot that is slapped straight back down the ground with force but cannot hold on.

    Umpire KN Ananthapadmanabhan hits the deck trying to get out of the way, then gets back up with a big grin.

    Scotland bowler Brad Currie, who takes the second over of the game, is a fantasy football expert. Our very own Matthew Henry has done a great feature on him. Read it here.

  16. Nep 5-0

    Target 171

    Scotland have a shout for stumping to end the over.

    Aasif Sheikh decides to leave Brandon McMullen's final ball but Matthew Cross whips the bails off in a flash.

    But Sheikh is safe and has his back foot planted firmly behind the line.

  17. Nep 2-0

    Target 171

    Scotland have handed the new ball to Brandon McMullen who’ll be looking to find early movement and put immediate pressure on Nepal’s top order.

    Kushal Bhurtel opens his account with a single through backward square leg before Aasif Sheikh also gets going with a quick single, but Sheikh is fortunate Richie Berrington's throw misses the stumps at the non-striker's end.

    Here's one of McMullen's better shots with the bat earlier...

  18. The Scotland players gather in a huddle as Nepal openers Khushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh make their way out to the middle, ready to begin the chase.

    And they’re greeted by a sea of noise from the Nepal fans who have turned up in huge numbers today at the Wankhede.

  19. Thanks, George.

    It looks like we’ve got a game on here with Scotland putting a competitive total on the board.

    Yes, it may be a dead rubber - but there’s still plenty of pride at stake, and both sides have certainly played like it.

    Now the question is - can Nepal chase it down? Let’s find out.

  20. Right, I'm off to have a cuppa before Nepal's chase gets going.

    Adwaidh Rajan is here to talk you through it.
