England beat Bangladesh by four wickets and maintain 100% start
Knight (79) and Dean (27) share unbroken 79 to get England, who had slipped to 103-6, over line
Knight overturned caught behind and lbw decisions and then a catch for the ball being grounded
Bangladesh bowled out for 178 after being put in by England
Spinners take 9-116 in 37.4 overs
Ecclestone pick of bowlers with 3-24
Heather Knight is walking off. I am not sure if she has seen the replay. The catch is taken cleanly at extra cover initially but then as the fielder leans forward it looks like she drags the ball along the floor as she tumbles.
But wait. They're checking the catch and this doesn't look good for Bangladesh.

Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Heather Knight went reaching and she's just placed the ball to extra cover. It was very well caught.
Knight c Shorna b Fahima 13 (Eng 64-3)
Great catch. Maybe this isn't done.
Need 115 more runs to win from 36 overs

Knight 13, Sciver-Brunt 28
Bangladesh's latest bowling change brings the introduction of of leg-spinner Fahima Khatun. She's wearing the big round glasses of a Manchester Northern Quarter hipster. Her action is a little awkward and almost tempts Heather Knight to do something silly.

Heather Knight just wants to bat. She has been out injured for a while and has wanted to get back batting.
If she can stay here throughout this innings it will do her the world of good mentally.
Target 179
I'd challenge you to find two more calming presences than Heather Knight and Nat Sciver-Brunt.

Bowling this tournament:
Need 124 more runs to win
Marufa Akter's spell is indeed done, however, and you can feel the tension dissipating. There's a misfield which gifts Nat Sciver-Brunt four and a half-tracker which allows her to take another boundary mat the end of the over.
Bangladesh's moment may have passed.
Rufus Bullough
CricViz analyst
Marufa Akter has drawn 39% false shots with her opening spell today, the highest figure for any opening spell of the competition by any bowler.
Just a couple of singles from Sanjida Akther Maghla in this over to end the powerplay.
Need 136 more runs to win
Image source, Getty ImagesYou can't criticise Bangladesh for given Marufa Akter a fifth over there. They had to do it. It does appear to have been one more than the youngster was capable of, however.
England will be breathing easier now.

Image source, Getty ImagesMarufa Akter is probably getting tired and that is understandable. It is a big challenge for her to bowl five overs in a row but she has done her job with those two wickets.
Four more to Nat Sciver-Brunt. It's another full toss.
And now a full toss is put away by Nat Sciver-Brunt.
England's skipper is steering the ship through the stormiest of waters for now.
Driven for four by England's captain! That was too full from Marufa Akter.
NSB still looks calm.

It has been such a gripping spell of bowling from Marufa Akter. She has had a few wides but when it is straight and on the stumps, it is unplayable at times.
Marufa tosses the ball from hand to hand at the top of her mark. She can't wait to go again.
Target 179
Sanjida Akther Maghla does a better job than her spinning predecessor - zipping through the over and conceding only one run.
Now back to the real action. Marufa to Sciver-Brunt...
