    Alana King is completely in her groove now. She is desperate for another wicket in her column and she deserves it.

  2. Ban 119-4

    Mostar 19, Shorna 1

    15 balls have been edged today according to our stattos. That gives you an idea of how much worse it could still have been for Banladesh had Australia taken their catches and had others gone to hand.

    Alana King appears a little grumpy after that drop in her previous over. She should have two wickets after nine overs at least but has to settle for 1-18.

    Listen to our latest podcast in which Henry Moeran is alongside 2017 England World Cup winner Alex Hartley and BBC Sport cricket writer Ffion Wynne to look back at the 2022 Women's World Cup.

    They look at Australia's journey to beating England in the final and what other shocks happened during the tournament which took place as the world was still tackling the Covid-19 pandemic. You can listen on BBC Sounds, your own podcast app or via here.

  4. I wasn't even counting this one in my list of dropped catches...

    Healy puts down Shorna top edge as Australia miss another catch opportunity

  5. Ban 118-4

    Mostary hits Sutherland for 'much needed' consecutive fours

    We all know what they say about London buses but it appears the same thing happens in Visakhapatnam. After 85 balls without a boundary, Sobhana Mostary hits two in two balls to get the score moving again.

    Could Bangladesh play a few more shots here to get up and down the wicket and clock some easy runs?

    If they were more proactive, it would force the Australia bowlers to have to change their lines.

  7. They haven't been easy but I am not sure I have seen Australia drop as many catches as they have today...

    Haider stays at the crease as Australia waste 'simple' catching opportunities

  8. dropped catch

    Shorna dropped on 1

    Australia have dropped another. They have been pretty generous with their fielding today.

    This time it's a regulation catch at slip for Beth Mooney. You won't get easier in that position.

    Shorna Akter survives though it is another maiden from King.

  9. Kirstie Gordon
    Former Scotland bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    The run-rate has just dropped in the last few overs since the fourth wicket has fell. Do Bangladesh settle in with wickets in hand? Really they need 200 plus to be competitive at all.

  10. Ban 109-4

    Bangladesh are digging in so hard they'll soon reach South America as one run comes off the bat in this Annabel Sutherland over.

  11. Ban 107-4

    Mostary 9, Shorna 0

    Sobhana Mostary and Shorna Akter have both made fifties in this tournament but this - Alana King ripping it on a turning pitch - is a different thing altogether. King bowls her second maiden.

    That was a nothing shot really. Alyssa Healy did the hard work but just could not quite make all of her ground.

  13. dropped catch

    Ban 107-4

    Healy puts down Shorna top edge as Australia miss another catch opportunity

    Almost another! New batter Shorna Akter gets in an almighty tangle to a Annabel Sutherland bouncer. All she manages to do is chip a catch in the air off a top edge.

    Wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy is the closest fielder. She comes sprawling in up towards the stumps but can't get there in time to get more than a glove tip on the ball.

    A deserved wicket for Alana King. She has created lots of opportunities and has put in good graft.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Joty st Healy b King 12 (Ban 104-4)

    Quick reactions from Healy behind the stumps dismisses Joty for 12

    Dot, dot, dot, single, dot, wild swing and stumped.

    It's fine bowling from Alana King who has it on a string. A pretty ugly way for Nigar Sultana Joty to be dismissed as she is stranded out of her ground.

  16. Nikesh Rughani
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    The Bangladesh captain is gone! Good glove work from the Australia skipper Alyssa Healy but Nigar Sultana is waiting for the decision to be confirmed.

  17. Umpire review

    It has been coming! Nigar Sultana Joty goes for the big shot and looks to have been stumped.

  18. Roushan Alam
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Bangladesh have not always looked comfortable but they have found the boundary and have kept the run-rate ticking. If they can continue like this, they can even push for a 250 score.

  19. Ban 103-3

    Thanks Mike. Annabel Sutherland is hurrying through her mix of slower balls impressively.

  20. Ban 101-3

    Sobhana Mostary brings up Bangladesh's hundred, sending an ungainly shot just past cover for a single.

    We've reached the half-way mark, time for me to hand you over to Matthew Henry.
