3:17pm: Also, the US is struggling against Oman (37/3 after 10, chasing 175. Italy is 16/1 (5.0) chasing Uganda 114. I'll be back tomorrow when Bermuda takes on Italy. Thanks for following us today
3:15pm: This loss puts Bermuda at 1-2 and severely damages the squad's chances of advancing to Division 2. They'll need lots of help at this point. It also puts them back in the race to get relegated to Division 4. It appears Italy might win today, which would mean every team would have at least one victory. Bermuda face Italy tomorrow and the USA on Saturday.
3:10pm: If you're a Bermuda fan that was akin to a horror film. Bowling stats: Jones 3-0-17-0, Stovell 2-0-21-0, Trott 3-0-28-2, Robinson 1-0-9-0, Tucker 2-0-22-0, Gibbons 0.2-10-0.
3:08pm: That's it as Nepal pulls off a convincing win over Bermuda. Nepal 107/2, Bermuda 106
3:03pm: Nepal 97/2 (11.0) This next over could be it - they just need 10 runs.
2:59pm: Nepal 83/2 (10.0) With such a low target there is no fear in Nepal's batsmen.
2:54pm: Nepal 75/2 (9.0) Anderson was hit in the face and taken off the field as a precautionary measure when Rodney bowled Mandai.
2:48pm: Nepal 67/2 (8.0) In the other matches, Uganda was 114/9 against Italy. That's a shocker. The US has replied 13/1 (3.0) to Oman's 175.
2:45pm: Shout out to the Bermuda Masters team who are in the Dominican following along! Nepal 65/2 (7.0) They picked 14 off of Trott that over.
2:41pm: 51/2 (6.0) Bermuda's tried four different bowlers to stop the onslaught from Nepal. Trott the pick right now at 2-0-14-2.

2:33pm: OUT! 35/2 (4.2)
2:30pm: When rain halted play, it was decided that would be a good time to break for lunch. As long as the weather co-operates, the game should resume in a bit.

12:41pm: Bermuda 106/9 (37.0) Malachi is on 15, which is tied for the third high score of the day for Bermuda.

11:27am: Bermuda 52/2 (15.0)

11:19am: Hemp now in with Outerbridge. Bermuda is still looking for a batsman to break through with a big score after three matches. We've had a lot players reach double figures but no one has more than 33 so far.

10:05am: The Bermuda Weather Service is projecting light rain and some showers for today (and through Saturday). I imagine the pitch is only going to get worse throughout the day - or at least has the potential to get much worse later on. teams winning the toss will probably elect to bat and get their runs on the board. There is a real possibility that Duckworth-Lewis could come into effect.
