  1. Ban 18-0

    Megan Schutt continues to bowl a tight line, conceding just one single off Fargana Hoque.

    The Australian seamers have offered good pace and decent lines early on.

    Rotation is really important in your seamers. Kim Garth has arguably been the pick of the Australia bowlers but in tournaments you have to keep rotating to keep your bowlers fresh.

  3. Ban 17-0

    Another one dropping safe.

    Rubya Haider goes for a pull off Darcie Brown and top edges, with the ball looping towards the mid-off region.

    There's no fielder there and the Bangladesh opener survives.

    A steady start from Bangladesh. They will play to survive the powerplay when the ball is nipping around. If they can keep wickets in the bank they can express themselves in the middle and later phases.

    I love the change of angle from Megan Schutt giving her batters something else to think about. She is angling into the stumps and trying to get that nip away.

  5. Ban 14-0

    Another four through the cordon!

    Megan Schutt goes round the wicket - there's one slip in and then, slightly strangely, two gullies.

    Rubya Haider offers an edge and the ball passes to the right of the diving first gully and reaches the boundary.

    That had a lot going for it, it looked close. It did hit Rubya Haider Jhilik high but it was on the back leg. I'd love to see a replay.

    This pitch feels like there is something in it for the bowlers.

  7. Ban 9-0

    Edged... short of slip!

    Darcie Brown clips Rubya Haider's bat, but the ball just drops just in front of Beth Mooney in the cordon.

    To rub salt into the wound, it spits up off the surface and loops away for four too.

    Brown then raps Haider's pads with her following delivery - the Bangladesh batters run a single, so there was presumably a bit of bat on that too.

    Four off the first ball is something you rarely see from Australia. They will not be best pleased with that but good signs from Bangladesh.

  9. Ban 4-0

    Woops.

    Bangladesh get off the mark from Megan Schutt's first delivery, with Fargana Hoque turning it away behind the keeper.

    Darcie Brown runs round from fine leg and gets a hand to the ball, but it rebounds off her foot and onto the boundary rope.

    That's the only scoring shot of the over, as Schutt gets into her groove immediately.

  10. We've had the anthems in a toasty Visakhapatnam - the BBC forecast has it at 31 Celsius presently.

    Australia batter Phoebe Litchfield was absolutely belting her country's anthem out - powerful lungs to go with her powerful strokeplay.

    Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana Joty has triumphed at the toss in Visakhapatnam.

    Her side are going to have a bat.

    Australia are the tournament favourites but have been playing close to the wind in their last few games.

    Today they face Bangladesh - could they be the latest to run the champions close?
