England 138-5 (16 Ovs) vs Nepal | SCORECARD

Kushal Bhurtel continues. Brook wastes no time, latching onto a loose delivery and cracking it to the fence for four. The batters then rotate strike with a couple of easy singles to keep the scoreboard moving. After 15 overs, England are 134/4.

Dipendra Singh Airee returns. The over begins quietly with the batters nudging singles, but Airee strikes soon after. WICKET! Curran bowled! Curran rocks back to cut, but gets a thick inside edge that drags back onto the stumps. The timber is disturbed and Airee is delighted, punching the air in celebration. A soft dismissal for England. Sam Curran departs for 2 off 8 balls. Will Jacks walks in and gets off the mark immediately with a single. Four runs and a wicket from the over.

England slip to 138/5 after 16 overs.
