    Fahima Khatun of Bangladesh celebrates with team mate Nahida AkterGetty Images

    It has been brilliant bowling from Fahima Khatun. She has kept England very quiet.

    The pressure is on England now - we said this was going to be a walk in the park if Bangladesh posted less than 200!

    Dunkley lbw b Fahima 0 (Eng 69-4)

    Cat. Meet. Pigeons.

    It's umpire's call on leg stump and Sophia Dunkley has to go.

    England still need another 110 runs.

  4. There are some tiny murmurs on Ultra-edge. Those have been ignored.

  5. I have bad news, England fans.

    On first sight, it looks very out.

  6. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    England will review but they do not look confident at all.

  7. England review

    Two in the over! Sophia Dunkley is given lbw third ball. She reviews because she has to.

    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Not ideal for England at all. Bangladesh have built pressure over the last four or five overs and there is no doubt about that one. It's out.

    There are glum faces in the England dressing room.

    Here we go...

    Charlotte Edwards' smile has disappeared now as Nat Sciver-Brunt slaps a full toss straight to mid-wicket.

    Bangladesh sense a moment again.

    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Is it about England getting going now and taking a little bit of a risk?

    Heather Knight is struggling a little bit out there with the turn on the ball. It has been a while since she played cricket, but she did play warm-up games.

  12. Eng 69-2

    Need 110 more runs to win

    The run-rate shouldn't matter but as England chew up dot ball after dot ball just remember that second ODI from the women's Ashes. England were only chasing 181, batted themselves into a hole and then when wickets did fall the pressure of a raised required run-rate proved too much.

  13. Eng 67-2

    Target 179

    Ah, Marufa Akter has just left the field alongside the physio as England's scoring slows. She has taken off her boots and is sat down by the dugout.

    She was the one who created all of the early drama...

  14. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    You can see a little bit of tension cascading in for Heather Knight. If you lose one of these two, you are not far before your bowlers so this partnership needs to do the bulk of the work.

    Bangladesh are creating drama and opportunities. They are not making it easy for England.

    Heather Knight, on her return from injury, is struggling.

  16. Eng 66-2

    Need 113 more runs to win

    The more you see that catch in real time the more it looks out. The comparison in the moods of the two dressing rooms is quite something.

  17. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    For me the ball did touch the floor there. The fingers were underneath but the ball touched the floor.

    You've got to be in control of the ball, and I think she was, but the ball was touching the floor.

  18. Eng 64-2

    Heather Knight has 13 from 41 balls in her first competitive innings since May.

    She has got away with a tight caught behind appeal, an lbw review and now a catch.

    Charlotte Edwards was punching the air in celebration when that decision was shown.

  19. Not out

    Heather Knight gets her third reprieve. Charlotte Edwards is beaming in the dressing room but the Bangladesh captain is complaining again.

    Shorna Akter is holding her arms wide in protest.

  20. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    We haven't got great pictures here. She takes the catch but the ball and her hands then go towards the ground.
