Hello and welcome to HCM,
The semen analysis is as follows:
1. The sperm count is within normal limits. The normal sperm count should be atleast 20 million/ ml.
In your case the sperm count is 49 million/ml which is sufficient.
2. However, the motility of the sperms is nil.
Atleast 50% sperms should have rapid forward movement for successful conception.
Active forward motion less than 50 % is not sufficient for conception.
3. Atleast 50 % of the sperms should have normal morphology.
If more than 50 % sperms have defective morphology, the chances of conception are negligible.

So, in your case, the motility and morphology both are sub-normal.
It is not possible for you to bear children.

thanks and take care
