Run OUT. OUT! Run Out. Junaid Siddique to Sompal Kami. Off cutter back of a length, wide outside off stump on the back foot pulling, missed, direct hit by Usmani. Nepal have posted a competitive total on the board, after the UAE made an impressive start by picking up two quick wickets inside the first powerplay. However, Binod Bhandari and skipper Rohit Paudel rebuilt the innings superbly, combining composure with positive stroke-play to keep the scoreboard moving. Paudel eventually fell to a well-executed short ball trap by Junaid, while Bhandari departed soon after bringing up a well-deserved half-century. From there, Dipendra Singh Airee and Gulshan Jha finished strongly, launching some clean hits around the park to get the hosts up to 289-7 off their 50 overs. Dipendra Singh Airee brought up his second ODI hundred. Join us for the chase after the break.
