  1. Eng 31-2

    Marufa has two wickets. It could easily have been three. This was the first...

  2. Sanjida Akther Maghla replaces Nahida Akter at the other end. Left-arm spin replacing left-arm spin.

    England could do with making hay at this end.

  3. Eng 30-2

    Beaten outside off stump to end the over!

    This is electric. There are fielders charging everywhere.

    Those 179 runs look a long way away when 20-year-old Marufa Akter is bowling.

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

    So close! Just an inch missing the stumps.

    Knight misses by the skin of her teeth.

  5. Not out

    Missing leg stump by a Tigresses whisker!

    Heather Knight survives somehow.

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

    If this is out, it is game on.

  7. There's no edge.

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

    A crucial moment! Marufa Akter could well have three here.

  9. England review

    KNIGHT GIVEN LBW!

    It's Marufa again. This is huuuge.

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

    Marufa Akter has that big hooping in-swing. She was always going to be the threat for England and they just need to get through her spell if they can.

  11. Nat Sciver-Brunt is in earlier than she would have liked. If ever there was a woman for a crisis.

    Tammy Beaumont of EnglandGetty Images

    A really tight one! Just under half the ball was in-line but that is enough.

    Beaumont has to go.

    WICKET

    Beaumont lbw b Marufa 13 (Eng 29-2)

    OUT. It's that inswinger we mentioned again.

    It was always going to come down to impact and whether it was in line with off stump. The ball tracking says it was doing so and after that the ball was going on to hit leg stump flush.

    England are wobbling.

  14. It's straight-ish. Might be umpire's call on impact...

  15. Bangladesh review

    Another review. Tammy Beaumont hit on the front pad.

    The umpire said no on the field.

  16. Eng 26-1

    Target 179

    Marufa is going to begin a fourth over. How many more does she have in her legs?

    I'd want two more at least.

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

    On the way to the ground we were speculating that Tammy Beaumont might struggle against Marufa Akter's inswingers. But in fact she averages 49 against inswing so is possibly the best England player to counter it.

  18. Eng 25-1

    Heather Knight joins in on the boundary hitting off the bowling of Nahida Akter...

  19. Eng 21-1

    Bangladesh need invest in human cloning.

    Tammy Beaumont guides a four as pressure releases at the other end.

  20. Eng 17-1

    Target 179

    Marufa charges in with her eyes wide and then whips the ball arms in a flash of arms and legs.

    Again she beats Heather Knight in this over and thinks there's an edge. None of her team-mates are interested.
