Lokesh Ban has been phenomenal, the batter taken hits Jofra Archer for plenty, claiming 13 off 3 balls, cutting down Nepal's equation to 24 off 12.

OUT! Just what England wanted, and Sam Curran provides his team a much-needed breakthrough. Curran used the lack of pace delivery to fox Dipendra Singh Airee into playing the shot away from his body, and the batter obliged and persihged. 

08 Feb, 17:53 (IST)

This has been a sensational batting display by Rohit Paudel and Dipendra Singh on the biggest stage. Dipendra has singlehandedly ruined Adil Rashid's outing in Mumbai, taking 22 off nine against the leg-spinner.

Nepal have announced itself to the cricket world, with its stellar performance here against England. Captain Rohit Paudel and Dipendra Singh have kept Nepal in the hunt, while adding 59 off 40, laced with eight boundaries.

Dipendra Singh has showcased his prowess against the spinners, which sees England feel pressurised in the middle. Singh has already been a busy bee in the middle, adding 33 runs with captain Rohit Paudel. 

08 Feb, 17:19 (IST)

OUT! Kushal Bhurtel, who looked to take on the bowlers, falls to a half-hearted shot. Bhurtel wanted to push the ball, but the ball came slower off the track, and it chipped back to the bowler Will Jacks. 

08 Feb, 17:05 (IST)

This is a blistering start by Nepal, with Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh hitting boundaries at will. Bhurtel in particular has taken a liking to the pace bowlers of England. 

08 Feb, 16:42 (IST)

Will Jacks played an absolute blinder of an innings, scoring 21 runs in the final over to ensure England reached 184 for 7 in their quota of 20 overs. Jacks remained unbeaten on 39 off 18, while Harry Brook and Jacob Bethell scored 53 and 55, respectively.
