    If Bangladesh win this, it would be the biggest shock in the history of the women's game.

    Bangladesh are on top here and I could well be eating my words at the end of this game.

    That is so out.

    WICKET

    Capsey lbw b Meghla 20 (Eng 103-6)

    GONE!

    Alice Capsey plays down the wrong line and is on her way.

    Left-arm spinner Sanjida Akter Meghla gets the ball to straighten and Capsey misses the ball attempting to work to leg and is struck in front.

    Capsey lingers at the crease as she discusses a review with Heather Knight but ends up running out of time and is told by the umpires to get on her bike.

  4. Ban 103-5

    Heather Knight has had a charmed life, mind.

    Come on England, you're better than this. Come on!!!!

    Adrian in Worcester

  6. Eng 102-5

    A fine line for England here, between cautiousness and tentativeness.

    Two runs off Shorna Akter's first two balls.

    Alice Capsey and Heather Knight are both into the 20s now.

  7. How's stat?!

    In ODIs Alice Capsey averages just 16 against spin with a strike-rate of just 61.

    She is far more comfortable against pace, where her average climbs to 27 and a strike-rate of 102.

    This feels like a big innings for Alice Capsey. She has started nicely and needs to absorb the pressure and perhaps rein in her natural game.

  9. Eng 100-5

    Sanjida Akter Meghla returns and Heather Knight picks up a single off her first ball with a bunt into the leg side.

    A heart-in-mouth moment for Alice Capsey when she chips the Bangladesh spinner over her head but just short of mid-off.

    Capsey punches a more orthodox single to mid-on to keep the strike.

    As Alex Ferguson once said "This is squeaky bum time" for England.

    Jason

  11. Eng 98-5

    Shorna Akter into the attack for Bangladesh but the leg-spinner's first delivery is cut behind point for four by Alice Capsey. That will take the pressure off England, a little bit.

    A single apiece for Heather Knight and Capsey in the remainder of the over.

  12. Ffion Wynne
    BBC Sport cricket writer on BBC Radio Sports Extra

    England don't need to play any fancy shots. There are gaps in the outfield, they just need to play sensibly.

    And they need to put run-rate out of their head for now and just focus on winning.

  13. Eng 92-5

    The bespectacled Fahima Khatun continues.

    Alice Capsey struggles to get her away before slapping the final ball of the over for a single.

    Just checked WinViz... Bangladesh are now 49% to clinch victory, England 51%

  14. Thanks, Matthew.

    Well, well, well. Who saw this coming?

    They'll be crowding round the tellies in Chittagong and Dhaka as the one heads to an tense climax.

  15. Eng 91-5

    Need 88 runs to win from 150 balls

    I did not expect to be handing to Timothy Abraham in this situation but here we are. He will take you to this game's nervy finish.

  16. Eng 90-5

    Alice Capsey has started nicely. Here's another four through the covers.

    She has already been busier than most of her teammates before her.

    Bangladesh are now favourites on WinViz...

  18. Eng 86-5

    Target 179

    There have been two boundaries since the 11th over - the six from Heather Knight below one of them. There are three dots and three singles in this latest over.

  19. Ffion Wynne
    BBC Sport cricket writer on BBC Radio Sports Extra

    You have to give credit to Bangladesh, they have been so energetic in the field. They have never given up.

    There have been some soft dismissals for England but they would not have expected to be where they are.

  20. Eng 82-5

    Target 179

    Alice Capsey drives her third ball for four but it does little to release the pressure.

    Charlotte Edwards is suddenly realising what it is like to coach England's women at a World Cup.
