Once again a catch goes begging for India. This would be the fifth one in the innings. Shreyas Iyer at deep square leg was not able to time his jump and as a result, could not catch the ball.

Six!! This has to be one of the best hits from the Nepalese team tonight. It was a bouncer that was only rising up and Sompal Kami was still able to pull it for a six over deep square leg.
