- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.4 mistimed, straight to mid-on! Rabeya breaks through for Bangladesh, and she celebrates enthusiastically, having put down Bouchier in the field a couple of overs beforehand. Tossed up outside off and she went for the big shot but got it off the toe of the bat 48/112.1 Wyatt-Hodge walks past one and is a goner. Nahida strikes with the first ball of a new spell. Floats it up, tosses it outside off to entice the big stroke. She falls for the trap and misses it, easiest of stumpings for Nigar 76/47.6 on the move, plays around a straight one - given! Sciver-Brunt takes her time to discuss with her partner, then calls for the review. She was quite a long way down, which might help, but otherwise looks pretty adjacent. Hitting the middle of middle, according to ball-tracking! Massive wicket for Bangladesh 53/211.2 Castled! Moni soars higher than the decibels in Sharjah. Sneaks in a floaty length ball around off, with a wobble seam. Knight goes for the drive down the ground but it misses the inside edge and cleans her up. Not sure what Knight could have done better that. Perhaps play a defensive shot? 73/315.5 Reverse-swept straight to backward point. Fahima shows 'em her groove. Tossed up again on middle, Capsey attempts the reverse sweep for the third time this over. This time hits it aerially and Nahida does not miss 90/518.2 Snicked behind! Tossed up outside off, slows it down, Gibson looks to go over cover but feathers an edge behind 101/619.4 Simple stumping for Nigar! Dean walks down the track early, Moni gets one length ball to slide past the inside edge. Nigar stays low to collect it and disturb the stumps 110/7Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL118/7 (20 Overs, RR: 5.9)Fall of wickets: 1-48 (Maia Bouchier, 6.4 ov), 2-53 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 7.6 ov), 3-73 (Heather Knight, 11.2 ov), 4-76 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 12.1 ov), 5-90 (Alice Capsey, 15.5 ov), 6-101 (Danielle Gibson, 18.2 ov), 7-110 (Charlie Dean, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 Shathi goes hard... goes back to the bench! Looking to clear mid-off but Ecclestone grabs it in her fingertips. She couldn't quite get the elevation as Smith pushed the ball through. England's two SLAs combine for the second wicket 17/23.2 sweeps and misses, gone! Dean's arm ball hits Dilara on the knee roll and up goes the finger. England have the breakthrough in the fourth over. Slippery straight one from the offie, wicket-to-wicket doing the job 16/118.3 Plumb in front but Mostary reviews. Dean fires it in on middle, fuller than good length. Mostary goes for a swipe across the line and is hit low on her front leg. Was there an inside edge? UltraEdge detects none and it is clipping leg Umpire's call, which means Mostary has to walk back 91/711.3 Walks across and sweeps the full ball through square leg but has she made it in?. Looked like it was in the gap for a couple but a flat and accurate throw to the wicketkeeper from Smith means that even a dive is not enough 52/312.2 Knocked her over. The skidder does Shorna in. Slider on a length on leg, slightly shorter so she goes back to pull it away. But it spins and quickly goes on to disturb the stumps 55/416.2 Misses the wild hoick. Fired in on off, on a length, Nehar looks to slink down and heave it across but it skids through and makes a mess of the stumps 80/517.4 You-miss-I-hit kinda dismissal. Length ball around off, it is the cross-seam one. So it lands and skids through, staying low. Moni goes for a heave across the line but misses it completely 85/6Extras7 (lb 1, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL97/7 (20 Overs, RR: 4.85)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Dilara Akter, 3.2 ov), 2-17 (Shathi Rani, 4.1 ov), 3-52 (Nigar Sultana, 11.3 ov), 4-55 (Shorna Akter, 12.2 ov), 5-80 (Taj Nehar, 16.2 ov), 6-85 (Ritu Moni, 17.4 ov), 7-91 (Sobhana Mostary, 18.3 ov)
