  1. 'Pace off it's tricky'

    Scotland's Michael Jones: "I thought initially we were on par for slightly more. Conditions got more difficult, so 170 is probably around where we need to be.

    "Pace on, it's nice to bat. Pace off, it's quite tricky.

    "They used their change-ups really well. It's tough out there to finish the innings.

    "Unbelievable [atmosphere]. I was trying my best to soak it in."

  2. Scotland's main man with the bat was undoubtedly Michael Jones, who scored 71 from 45 deliveries.

    A positive end for Scotland, Watt showed good footwork there.

  4. 6 runs

    Sco 170-7

    Mark Watt picks up the final ball of the innings off his pads and away for six.

    Might that prove crucial?

    Nepal have pulled this back really nicely. They would have taken chasing anything under 180 at the toss.

  6. Sco 164-7

    Olly Davidson squeezes out a yorker and gets a single.

  7. Sco 163-7

    A wide helps...

    WICKET

    Leask c Sheikh b Nandan 4 (Sco 162-7)

    There is indeed an edge and Michael Leask has to go.

    Scotland have two balls left to drag themselves close to 170.

  9. Player review

    Sco 162-6

    Michael Leask has a big swipe at Nandan Yadav and wicket keeper Aasif Sheikh is convinced there's a little edge.

    Nepal review.

  10. Sco 161-6

    Mark Watt dances down the track and is denied four by some good fielding on the fence.

    He gets two though and keeps the strike.

    After all that talk of 180 or 190, it's been a fantastic effort from Nepal.

  12. Sco 158-6

    Scotland were 132-1 remember - this has been a dramatic collapse.

    Six balls left.

    Remarkable stuff from Sompal!

    These are proper skills!

    WICKET

    Bruce b Sompal 5 (Sco 156-6)

    Sompal Kami is bowling beautifully and he cleans up Tom Bruce.

    A slower ball out of the back of the hand deceives the former New Zealand batter all ends up and Sompal celebrates in equally fine style.

  16. Sco 153-5

    Two overs left.

    What will Scotland post?

  17. Here's the over in which Nepal started to slow Scotland's progress.

  18. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala

    He's gone for the fancy option, again, rather than going for the easy shot. Having looked on course for 180, Scotland are losing the plot a little bit in the last two or three overs.

    Cross was trying to play an AB de Villiers-esque swipe into the leg side but failed to connect.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Cross b Nandan 4 (Sco 150-5)

    Matt Cross had flicked Nandan Yadav away for four, but is cleaned up from the next ball as he steps across his stumps.

    Scotland are stumbling in the closing stages of this innings.
