- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.4 There's the breakthrough for Bangladesh! .Smart bowling from Shorna and Bezuidenhout is denied a maiden T20I half-century. Anticipates the batter to step out and bowls the flighted ball outside off. She fails to reach it and gets beaten by the away turn. Shamima does the rest. 77/112.5 Catching practice! Fahima is delighted, as a dejected Kerr walks back. Generously flights it and Kerr again charges down to hit it over. But she is a tad early into the stroke and only spoons a catch back to Fahima. 107/212.6 Two-in-two for Fahima and Bangladesh wrest back control! Fahima is on a roll, somebody stop her! It is the slider that was flighted on middle, dipped and beat Devine's drive on the inside edge to clean bowl her. Fourth duck for Devine in T20 World Cups, the joint-highest! 107/3Extras4 (b 1, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL189/3 (20 Overs, RR: 9.45)Fall of wickets: 1-77 (Bernadine Bezuidenhout, 8.4 ov), 2-107 (Amelia Kerr, 12.5 ov), 3-107 (Sophie Devine, 12.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 Trapped plumb in front! No two ways about it. Bowls it full and on off and middle, Shamima once again looks to explore the midwicket region. She misses the swipe across the line and gets high on the back thigh. 19/114.4 reverse-cup catch from Rowe at short third. Tossed up around off. Murshida looks for a big shot to cow corner, but the ball gets a slice off the blade. Ball lobs up to the fielder inside the circle. Out for 30. 100/44.4 Speared at 102 clicks, castled! Mostary is bowled behind her legs and that's a top delivery. Bowls it full down leg and gets it to swing back in. She misses her flick and his almost yorked. What a ball! 31/29.2 slides in from outside off and the googly is too good for Sultana. Full, nicely flighted outside off. Sharp turn in, and Sultana tries the cut from too close to her body. Off stump rattled, that's a third wicket. 54/315.4 short of length, outside off, but not too wide. Shorna chases after it to cut, and it has taken an edge. Keeper dives to her right and the ball sticks. Great reaction from Bezuidenhout. 103/517.2 full on off. Bit of turn away. Tapped to short third, and they go for a single. But the throw from the infielder is a sharp one - direct hit in fact! AND OUT by a few inches, Rumana running to the keeper's end. Jess Kerr combines with Amelia Kerr - keeping it in the family. 107/618.6 ends the spell with her third! And Bangladesh are eight down. Ritu tried to go for a big shot down the ground but mistimed. Long on takes a regulation catch. 113/818.3 simple catch. Carrom ball of sorts on off and middle. Akter tries to work it leg side but it has taken a leading edge. Ball lobs up, and J Kerr in action again at short third 112/7Extras17 (b 2, lb 5, nb 2, w 8)TOTAL118/8 (20 Overs, RR: 5.9)Did not bat: Marufa AkterFall of wickets: 1-19 (Shamima Sultana, 2.4 ov), 2-31 (Sobhana Mostary, 4.4 ov), 3-54 (Nigar Sultana, 9.2 ov), 4-100 (Murshida Khatun, 14.4 ov), 5-103 (Shorna Akter, 15.4 ov), 6-107 (Rumana Ahmed, 17.2 ov), 7-112 (Nahida Akter, 18.3 ov), 8-113 (Ritu Moni, 18.6 ov)
