  1. 'South Africa are cruising along nicely'published at 17:26 British Summer Time 12 October

    The first expansive shot we have seen from Bosch. She reversed her feet and it looked like she was trying to scoop it over the off-side.

    South Africa are cruising along nicely - you can tell they're trying to improve their net run-rate.

  2. SA 70-1published at 11 overs

    Nahida Akter gives the ball a nice amount of air, Anneke Bosch slices her towards third but the ball drops agonisingly short of Ritu Moni as she dives in.

    Then Tazmin Brits lifts the bowler towards long on - Rabeya Khan comes in off the rope but again the ball falls short of the fielder.

    There are a lot of teapot poses in the field at the moment...

  4. SA 63-1published at 10 overs

    Shorna Akter sends down a filthy long hop with her first delivery which Tazmin Brits thrashes to the boundary past mid-wicket. The bowler recovers from that and concedes just two more.

    So that's the halfway point of the innings, and South Africa are in cruise control.

    Bangladesh have got a lot of work to do here - 21 off the powerplay has cost them.

    Getting another 10 would have taken them up to 117 and that can make all the difference in these games.

  6. SA 57-1published at 9 overs

    Anneke Bosch climbs into one outside off stump from Ritu Moni, slapping it to the sponge past cover. A powerful pull off one knee flies to deep square leg, where it rebounds off the fielder but at least they keep it to just a single.

    Fahima's dancing has been better to watch than her catching...

    Fahima Khatun made a meal of that. She got her feet in a tangle.

    Fahima Khatun shells another dolly!

    Tazmin Brits lifts Rabeya Khan to wards the mid-wicket boundary, Fahima gets both hands to it in front of her face but the ball goes through her clutches and onto the rope.

    Rabeya is incandescent, and rightly so.

    Bangladesh made a slow start, by contrast South Africa are well ahead.

    A risk from Anneke Bosch, but a worthy one.

    She steps across her stumps and sweeps it to square leg in the ring.

    Bosch only just beats the fielder.

  14. SA 36-1published at 6 overs

    Anneke Bosch is showing a lot of intent, clubbing Fahima back over head for two, the ball being cut off short of the rope.

    Then the batter drops to her knee and does find the rope with a pull around the corner.

  15. 'Khatun causing problems'published at 17:02 British Summer Time 12 October

    Fahima Khatun causing some problems for the South Africa batters. Bangladesh will be excited by the prospect of turning the screws.

    Bangladesh have made six stumpings when fielding at this Women’s T20 World Cup. It is more than the other teams in Group B combined (West Indies, Scotland and South Africa all two, England none).

  17. Not outpublished at 16:59 British Summer Time 12 October

    It was missing the stumps completely, so Bosch survives and Bangladesh lose the review.

  18. Bangladesh reviewpublished at 16:58 British Summer Time 12 October

    It looks leg stump-ish. Don't forget, it was given not out.

    There's seems to be a spike which has appeared on UltraEdge, but I don't think it's the bat.

    There's a spike on UltraEdge even though it seems to be missing the bat...
