    Need 29 off 21 balls

    Bangladesh turn to Mustafizur Rahman as they look to build some pressure again. The left-arm seamer has tonnes of T20 experience in the IPL.

    He starts well, conceding just a single from his first three balls.

    It's tight. Very tight.

  3. Nep 77-5published at 16 overs

    Need 30 off 24 balls

    A great over for Nepal.

    That six was followed by a couple, after a misfield, before a little tickle round the corner brings four more.

    The required rate is down to exactly seven an over.

    Hello!

    Slog swept for six by Kushal Malla over mid-wicket. Superb strike.

    That helps.

    Chaos.

    Dipendra Singh Airee sets off from the non-striker's end and practically completes a single before being sent back.

    Mahmudullah can't gather cleanly though and Airee survives.

    Bangladesh's last two wickets added 31 earlier - how critical is that going to be? Nepal would be almost there if they'd taken those wickets quickly.

    A good tight over from Shakib Al Hasan, conceding just four. The required rate pushes up to 8.40.

    Nep 63-5

    Just clipping leg stump.

    That's a fair call from the umpire, it did look like it was sliding down on the angle.

    Nep 63-5

    Big appeal for lbw by Shakib Al Hasan. He was down on his knees begging the umpire to give it.

    He doesn't, and Shakib sends it upstairs almost immediately for another look.

  9. Nep 61-5published at 14 overs

    Target 107

    A boundary! A bit of width from Taskin Ahmed and Dipendra Singh Airee cuts past Rishad Hossain, who has already taken two catches at point, and away to the fence.

    A decent over for Nepal with seven coming off it. The required run-rate is just a smidge above that at 7.66.

    Thanks Ffion.

    Pace is back through Taskin Ahmed. How Nepal handle this may decide the game.

    Target 107

    Oh, my word! Rishad Hossain gets such extravagant turn that it beats the batter's defence and the keeper has no chance either.

    He follows it by pinning Airee on the pad, debates a review with the captain but I reckon it's too high.

    Which way is this one going? Here's Callum Matthews to take you through it.

    I get the feeling this game could still build to a thrilling climax.

  13. Nep 50-5published at 12 overs

    Target 107

    Decent first over from Mahmudullah, just three from it, but each wicketless over that goes by will be making Bangladesh a little more nervous...

    That is a quality shot, terrific. He's just ruined the over.

    I might be counting them out a little bit too early at this stage but it just feels hard to see how they win this.

  15. Nep 47-5published at 11 overs

    Target 107

    Lovely response! Dipendra Airee sweeps firmly for four to end the over.

  16. Not outpublished at 10.4 overs

    Cheeky from Litton Das, waiting and waiting for Dipendra Singh Airee to move but the batter keeps his foot down.

  17. Umpire reviewpublished at 10.4 overs

    Stumping?

    The keeper Litton Das likes it. Has Dipendra Airee gone wandering?

  18. Netherlands need 202 to beat Sri Lankapublished at 03:10 British Summer Time 17 June

    Over in Saint Lucia, winless Sri Lanka have hit the joint-highest score of the tournament so far in making 201-6 against the Netherlands.

    Kusal Mendis and Charith Asalanka both made 46, while captain Wanindu Hasaranga added an unbeaten 20 off just six balls to finish the innings off.

    The Netherlands need to win that game and hope Bangladesh lose this one to progress. They also need a net run-rate swing so it is looking a tough ask.

    Follow that game live.

  19. Nep 42-5published at 10 overs

    Target 107

    Decent over from Mustafizur, taking back some control with just two from it.

    Halfway through and Bangladesh are on top, but it could still go either way.

    Bangladesh just need to be careful they don't let this game slip away. They need to keep turning the screw.
