- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 superb catch by Mooney at backward point! Short and wide on eighth stump, Shamima laces a cut shot but makes no effort to keep it down. She was in control of the shot but doesn't get under it enough and Mooney does a bunny hop to intercept this reaching above her head. 7/13.1 bullseye! The dot ball pressure finally breaks. Brown angles this one in on a good length on middle and leg stump. Murshida has a loose flick across the line and misses. Middle and leg stump are knocked back three-quarters of the way up. 11/27.2 bad ball but still gets a wicket caught at short midwicket. It was a half-tracker the landed well outside leg stump, but rather than get onto the back foot to smash it with a pull, Mostary pushes at it flat-footed very awkwardly reaching out way in front of her body trying to play with a straight bat and winds up flicking a leading edge that balloons high over short midwicket. The fielder King calls off Wareham for a simple catch. 42/318.5 Joty charges again and Gardner sees it coming dragging this much wider outside off. Joty winds up skying a drive high up in the air where Lanning waltzes forward from extra cover on the ring for a very simple catch. 99/616.1 bullseye! Tame, unconvincing shuffle down the track from Shorna, almost regretted doing so by checking to a defensive prod after taking three steps out to a good length ball. Shorna plays around the ball and it goes between bat and pad to crash into middle stump. 86/416.5 bullseye! Very awkward from Rumana, charging two steps down the pitch before adjusting to try to sweep this good length ball. She misses everything and the ball nails middle stump three-quarters of the way up. 90/519.5 full and straight on middle, misses a flick across the line getting hit on the back leg with the back knee flexing and a huge lbw shout is upheld. Nahida is eager to walk off very briskly because this is stone dead but then realizes that there's only one ball left in the innings so turns around and signals for a review. This one is never getting overturned though. Three reds light up with ball-tracking taking out the middle of middle and leg stump. 106/7Extras9 (lb 1, w 8)TOTAL107/7 (20 Overs, RR: 5.35)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Shamima Sultana, 1.3 ov), 2-11 (Murshida Khatun, 3.1 ov), 3-42 (Sobhana Mostary, 7.2 ov), 4-86 (Shorna Akter, 16.1 ov), 5-90 (Rumana Ahmed, 16.5 ov), 6-99 (Nigar Sultana, 18.5 ov), 7-106 (Nahida Akter, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.3 fullish length on sixth stump, Healy with an indecisive shovel at this with uncertain footwork and winds up sending a chest high chance to the captain Sultana Joty at extra cover, who doesn't have to move to take the catch. 78/22.3 fullish length ball angled across fourth stump, Mooney takes a shuffle down the track while backing away from leg stump to drive and is beaten by the movement as a thick edge flies low to slip and a very sharp catch is taken at ankle height reaching forward in front of the right heel. 9/1Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL111/2 (18.2 Overs, RR: 6.05)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Beth Mooney, 2.3 ov), 2-78 (Alyssa Healy, 12.3 ov)
