    England have been rapido through their overs here.

    Rabeya Khan a little more circumspect to the left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone.

    She gets the sweep out again, though, to Ecclestone's third ball but has to settle for a couple after Emma Lamb scurries off to prevent the boundary.

    Ecclestone finishes with 3-24 from her allotted 10 overs.

    A lovely couple of shots from Rabeya Khan. Where has that been hiding?

  3. Ban 140-7

    The lesser-spotted sweep shot!

    New Bangladesh batter Rabeya Khan gets off the mark with a clinical sweep through mid-wicket.

    Alice Capsey chuckles to herself.

    However, she's not so amused a couple of balls later when Khan goes down on one knee again and slog sweeps it from outside off for four.

  4. Ban 130-6

    Best shots from Mostary's half-century against England

    Sobhana Mostary has held Bangladesh's innings together today with a stoic knock.

    England's spinners have barely missed and they have got the rewards for it. Sophie Ecclestone has been so metronomic.

    Bangladesh have just got to bat out their overs now.

    WICKET

    Nahida c Dean b Ecclestone 1 (Ban 130-7)

    Nahida Akter with an almighty waft to a delivery from Sophie Ecclestone but the only thing she hits is fresh air.

    Fast forward to the last ball of the over and Sophie Ecclestone has her wicket and it's a relatively tame dismissal.

    Nahida takes on a wide-ish one outside off stump and chips it into the hands of Charlie Dean, who is stationed in a close-catching position at short extra cover.

    England surely will be thinking that Sophie Ecclestone and Linsey Smith will be taking these last few overs.

    Or stick with Alice Capsey?

  8. Ban 126-6

    Sobhana Mostary sheds the helmet for the cap, and with the change of headwear comes some aggression.

    She skips down the pitch and biffs Alice Capsey back over her head.

    A couple of balls later and Mostary pulls one which drops just short of Tammy Beaumont at square leg.

    Mostary hits Capsey for four

    That was a littler bit flatter and quicker from Sophie Ecclestone. Fahima Khatun was trying to knock the ball down the ground.

    Something was going to happen and it's another spinner who makes it happen.

  10. Ban 121-6

    Sophie Ecclestone with a wicket maiden. In fact it's the eighth maiden of Bangladesh's innings.

    A run-rate of 2.95 does not look particularly threatening for England here.

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

    Fahima Khatun was trying to play an aggressive shot but it has clattered into the stumps!

  12. wicket

    WICKET

    Fahima b Ecclestone 7 (Ban 121-6)

    Fuller, flatter and quicker from Sophie Ecclestone and it does the trick.

    Fahima Khatun moves her feet, plays all around it and ends up yorking herself.

    England will be hoping to winkle out these remaining four wickets cheaply.

    If Bangladesh would have been able to rotate the strike they would be up at the 160 mark but there has just been far too many dot balls.

  14. Ban 121-6

    Fahima Khatun skips down the pitch with some of the intent which has largely been lacking but ends up toe-ending one back to the bowler, Alice Capsey.

    Three singles off the over. Dizzying stuff.

  15. Ban 118-5

    While Bangladesh's lack of intent is obvious, England deserve some praise for the manner in which they have executed their bowling plans here.

    Sophie Ecclestone keeps a tight-ish line and concedes just a single.

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

    The seamers have bowled much wider than the spinners, which has made seam easier to face and easier to capitalise on. Of course, you do have the extra pace with seam but spinners have certainly bowled better.

  17. Ban 117-5

    Charlie Dean finishes her 10 overs with 2-28. Bangladesh have 12 overs to go here.

    Sophie Ecclestone into the attack.

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

    It has not been a scintillating knock but without it, I'm not sure where Bangladesh would be. Sobhana Mostary has held this together for her side with little help from the other end.

  19. 50 runs

    Fifty for Mostary

    After lingering on 49 for what felt like an eternity, Sobhana Mostary completes her maiden ODI half-century.

    She reaches the milestone off 92 balls with a jab into the off side.

    Her team-mates applaud as she raises her bat.

    Bangladesh have only got above 200 once in World Cups. 170 would be a good score for them here but that would still be easy for England to chase.
