10.6 Paudel to Jaiswal, SIX runs

Why run when you can do this?! Length just outside off. Jaiswal comes out of his bunker again and crunches it over wide long off!

Slight delay in the game.

The physio is out to attend on Jitesh. India will hope that it is nothing serious. The index finger of the right hand seems to be the issue

11.4 Sompal Kami to Tilak Varma, out Bowled!! Sompal Kami gets the wicket he's deserved. Shortish delivery, Tilak looks to pull. gets an under edge that hits the leg stump. Ball came slowly than the batter expected. Tilak Varma b Sompal Kami 2(10)

Sompal Kami to Tilak Varma, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

11.6 Sompal Kami to Jitesh Sharma, FOUR, advances and has a big go, slices it over point for four as he mishits this length delivery

"It seems Jaiswal is batting on different pitch.. rest everyone is struggling to even time the ball" -- Another indication of why Jaiswal has been touted for greatness across formats already...

12.5 Lamichhane to Sharma, OUT

Jitesh bites the dust! Shortens his length after seeing Jitesh advance, and this one seems to grip in the surface. Jitesh tries to hack it over the leg side but because the ball comes off slower than he expects, he skews it off the leading edge. Lamicchane settles under it and does the rest. India in danger of losing their way!
