00:30It will be tough early for the openers, particularly
00:59while the ball is new, and Nepal will want cheap wickets early to make the most of this
01:04decision. Players look ready, the umpires are in position
01:13for the first ball, the bowlers will want to focus on their line and lengths and let
01:18the ball do the rest. Lovely shot to start the innings, unfortunate
01:26they just couldn't find a gap. Great shorter ball, well played though, didn't
01:41flinch, was able to leave the ball comfortably, and that's the end of the short stuff for
01:46this over. Can't get that outside the ring field, oh
02:14that's gone, really unlucky. A trudge back to the pavilion, a disappointing display in
02:21the end, for someone with such batting skills this goes down as a fail.
02:36Too full, got what it deserved. Really just seemed to have put that one into
02:42the slot with the first ball to the new batter. All the same, it's a glorious shot for your
02:46first ball. Don't mind getting hit for runs, what's
02:51important is to focus on getting the next ball right.
03:05There'll be one run here for them. A little flick of the wrist to get it round
03:09the corner for an easy run. A new batter always likes to feel bat on
03:18ball early on, as they bring a bit of energy to the crease.
03:23Das takes guard, been in pretty good touch lately, you wouldn't want to let them get
03:29away early with some easy boundaries. Couldn't have played that any better.
03:37Put it well enough to get it away to the boundary, a poor delivery and a fine shot
03:41in the end. End of the over, ten off it. Bangladesh are
03:46one for ten. Going with pace now.
03:58Well placed, should get a single. Got forward well and was able to drive the
04:07ball, a lovely shot and good running. Yeah, yeah, nicked it.
04:33It can be very disheartening seeing good deliveries smacked around. Sometimes you've just got
04:37to accept it and move on. Doesn't beat the infield.
04:45Das shakes their head. It was there to be hit but couldn't make the most of it.
05:02Decisive running might have got them two. Looking back at it, I'd say they'd have made
05:06it easily. So in the end, poor running.
05:33Nice shot, runs possible. Ease through the field, there'll be runs
05:57here. Just pivoted onto the back foot, so easily
06:03done to knock it behind square. The over comes to an end, not many runs coming
06:07from it. Both sides need to inject some life into this game.
06:17Lamichane coming into the attack from the member's end.
06:31Struck it nicely, could go to the boundary. That's great fielding, that ball was flying.
07:01Was that just a bit lazy with the running? Usually there'd be two there. Need to take
07:06a bit more initiative out there. Yep, chance to run two.
07:24Well that could have ended horribly, but very good fast running between the stumps gets
07:28them home. Lovely shot, good seam position but over pitched
07:43and got what it deserved. Too wide, it was there to be hit and it was
07:47really given the treatment. Just need to keep it simple, line and length,
07:53a roundabout off stump and that'll force the mistake.
07:59Massive edge. Brilliant bowling, having got the edge of
08:13the previous ball, they now know the areas they need to be hitting.
08:21They'll get at least one. That's what happens if you stray a little
08:29down the leg side, makes it easy to just glance the ball off the pads and score easy runs.
08:35Getting all their shots in that over, a very expensive over.
09:05And that's the end of the innings. Bangladesh have set a target of 31 runs.
09:30This total is well below par. And the openers are going to be looking to
09:34close this out quickly. The bowlers are going to have to find someone
09:37to make up for the rest of the team's batting failures.
10:03Great reactions, brilliant catch close in. Well, this is a fantastic wicket.
10:15Get the runs down, really didn't get settled. Looked to be in trouble, sadly, for most of
10:20the knock. And with that wicket, the new batter will
10:22mark their guard. They just need to rotate the strike early
10:27on as they get settled. And again, see you later, two wickets on
10:36the truck. It's the wicket they so desperately wanted,
10:45they've removed a real threat before they could get going.
10:49Coming to the wicket, they'll be looking to play within the V early and expand as they
10:54get settled. Big edge.
11:03Well, they decided against the run. Not sure why, if I'm being honest.
11:07They'd have made it very comfortably. Let's see if they can get the ball up into
11:12the slot like before. So crucial to follow up that last delivery
11:17and keep the batter under pressure. They'd look for a couple here.
11:34And they're away and nicely off the mark. A change to the complexion of this match.
11:46Trying to get the new batter coming forward early, encouraging them to drive and really
11:51attack the stumps. And with that, they're off the mark.
12:16Misses everything. Maybe they didn't pick it up. Very late
12:20on the shot. End of the over, four runs coming from it.
12:24Nepal are two for four. Ahmed, the left arm orthodox bowler, is coming
12:29into the attack from the members end. Drives and misses everything.
12:36Ahmed with a superb delivery. Got them trying to drive, but messing everything up.
12:48Thick edge. Misses out there on the short and wide one.
12:57A wonderful delivery to get the edge. They've got to keep hammering away at that
13:01spot time and again. Great shot. At least one on offer.
13:12I for one reckon that second run was on, but clearly the batters knew better.
13:22Massive edge. Misses everyone and that's racing away.
13:26Nothing really wrong with the delivery. Got onto the front foot and found the space
13:30to get that one to the boundary. They shouldn't get too discouraged with that
13:35last ball. The first step as a bowler is to get the batter playing, which they've managed.
13:41If they can find the right spot, the reward will eventually come.
13:47Time to keep the pressure on now. Great last ball to find the edge. It's just
13:52a case of finding the same spot. Straight to the fielder.
13:57A little late on that. No run scored. Nepal weren't given much of an opportunity.
14:02A very tidy over.
14:12Rahman, the left arm medium fast bowler, is coming into the attack from the great southern stand end.
14:27Strong appeal.
14:49There'll be runs here.
14:57Yep.
15:28We're done. Couldn't get it through the field.
15:37Maybe they didn't pick it up. Very late on the shot.
15:51Yep.
15:53Got forward and was able to drive the ball. Lovely shot and good running.
16:09Wow, that's missed a lot. Beautiful slower delivery. Just hitting air on that.
16:16That was just too good. Gee, they're bowling well at the moment.
16:20They complete another very good over.
17:20Thanks for watching.
