    Only a single but it does take Alyssa Healy to 99. Everyone is waiting to applaud.

    She should have been dismissed, of course...

  3. Aus 176-0published at 22.5 overs

    Bangladesh's fielders have completely given up. They're barely chasing the ball to the fence.

    Healy on 98 with one ball to go in the over. The Aussies in the crowd stand in anticipation...

  4. Aus 171-0published at 22.2 overs

    Swept over fine leg. Alyssa Healy is now a hit away from consecutive world cup hundreds.

  5. Aus 166-0published at 22 overs

    Healy 93, Litchfield 68

    This is now the highest partnership for any wicket in the tournament.

  6. Aus 166-0published at 21.5 overs

    Another misfield as two fielders leave it for each other. Healy into the nineties. This is a drubbing.

  7. Aus 161-0published at 21.3 overs

    Litchfield takes another four through the covers with a perfect wristy drive.

    You'd be brave to stop your skipper getting a hundred in this situation by scoring too many yourself.

    This pair is difficult to bowl to anyway with the left-hand right-hand combination. Bowlers find it so hard to find form against them.

  9. Aus 155-0published at 21 overs

    Healy 88, Litchfield 62

    After her century v India Alyssa Healy spoke about how she had struggled to find any sort of form in the nets during the early weeks of this tournament. Two knocks later she is now the leading run-scorer. She bashes another two fours here to press the accelerator and move clear of New Zealand's Sophie Devine in second place.

    Another century is definitely in Healy's sights.

  10. Aus 145-0published at 20 overs

    Target 199

    And Healy heaps on the pain by bashing two boundaries later in the over - one of which comes from a misfield. Poor Shorna Akter has conceded 13 runs from an over she should have started with a wicket.

    That was the most simple opportunity. Alyssa Healy was basically walking off the field as she hit that.

    Poor from Bangladesh.

    Ouch. A horror drop.

    alyssa Healy gets a top edge and it just loops to Fargana Hoque Pinky at short fine leg. It should be a straight forward catch but she doesn't really get a hand on it.

    There is still time for one of these batters to get a century. But who will get there first?

    Either way, Australia are going to cruise to this victory.

    The final result could end up looking pretty ugly for Bangladesh, who have competed well throughout the tournament. They could have beaten England. They should have beaten South Africa. Australia have looked too good.

    Healy has basically just picked up where she left off on Sunday against India. She must be enjoying her time in Visakhapatnam.

    Alyssa Healy makes those shots look so straightforward. She goes with the shape of the ball and the wide angle.

    Just when you think it is going to be simple over for Bangladesh, all of that pressure is released.

    Phoebe Litchfield had made a few starts before today but this is her first fifty. She scored 71 and 88 in two of the warm-up games and had a superb Hundred, however, so you can hardly say she was out of form.

    Alyssa Healy, meanwhile, scored that brilliant hundred against India in Australia's previous game and now she drives beautifully over extra cover for four.

  19. drinks break

    Target 199

    I'm a little nervous to tel Mike that I might not even be able to join his quiz team this evening despite all of my chatter.

    Australia's stroll towards victory is being halted by drinks.

  20. 50 runs

    50 for Phoebe Litchfieldpublished at 15.1 overs

    And just like that Phoebe Litchfield follows her skipper in reaching her fifty. She has played very nicely today...
