00:00England taking on the mighty Nepal. Can't they cause an upset?
00:04Well, getting Phil Salt early was sure to help Nepal's cause. He's a problem once he gets going.
00:10Josh Butler and Jacob Bethel took up the mantle. Butler hitting 26 and Bethel making 55.
00:17Butler second to fall with the score on 43. Tom Banton made it too, but Harry Brook provided
00:23some excitement to bring England back in contention for a competitive score.
00:27Two strikes in the 14th and 16th overs kept Nepal in the game.
00:36But Will Jacks finished things off with 39 not out as England posted 184 for 7 of 20 overs.
00:44After the removal of Kushal Berthel and Asif Hsik, Nepal buckled down with Rohit Pordel and
00:51Pendra Singh. They took the score to 124 in the 14th over. Both men caught in the deep in quick
00:59succession. Singh hauling out the cover of Garan and Pordel brilliantly held by a diving salt at mid-wicket
01:07of Dawson. However, Lukash Bam was rewarded for his attacking intent, slamming two slow balls for six
01:14during Archer's 22-run final over. The brilliant Bam needed to hit the last ball for six after Gulshan
01:20was bowled. It was too much for Bam to do to secure victory. He finished 139 not out from 20 balls.
01:26England eventually winning by four runs. Sergio Dufour, TV6 Sport.
