  1. Ban 97-4

    Kathryn Bryce keeps a tight line and length to Nigar Sultana and Shorna Akter. Five singles and a wide off the remainder of the over.

  2. Ban 91-4

    Scotland skipper Kathryn Bryce brings herself back into the attack with four overs left. She will be hoping to keep Bangladesh under 110 here.

    Nigar dropped on 10

    It's all happening.

    Nigar Sultana with an aerial cross-batted whack to Olivia Bell and Alisa Lister sprints, dives forward but ends up spilling the chance.

    Sobhana Mostary was going pretty well and she was Bangladesh's best bet in terms of strike-rate, so this wicket is crucial for Scotland.

    WICKET

    Sobhana st S Bryce b Bell 36 (Ban 86-4)

    Drinks bring wickets and all that!

    Sobhana Mostary dances down the track to Olivia Bell and has a big swish, but fails to connect.

    Sarah Bryce completes a simple stumping with Sobhana well short of her ground.

    Bangladesh lived a charmed life in that over. The ball just evaded fielders in the ring three times - it went for two twice and then it went all the way to the boundary for four. Now, this innings is starting to ignite.

  7. Ban 86-3

    It's hot out in Sharjah - about 36C - so we have an ad hoc drinks break with five overs of the Bangladesh remaining.

    Here's the three wickets to fall so far.

  8. Ban 86-3

    Scotland leg-spinner Abtaha Maqsood is giving it plenty of flight to both Sobhana Mostary and Nigar Sultana, but they struggle to find the boundary.

    A full toss from Maqsood's fourth ball is clothed by Sobhana before Nigar finally finds the rope with an agricultural whack through the covers on the up.

    Katherine Fraser is coming off. What's happening here? I do not see an injury and she's not limping. It could very well be the heat because it's punishingly hot out there.

  10. Ban 77-3

    That wicket brings Bangladesh skipper Nigar Sultana to the middle.

    Sobhana Mostary is hitting nearly everything in the air to Scotland spinner Katherine Fraser but each time the ball lands short of the Scotland fielders.

    At the end of the over Fraser is seen to by the Scottish physio and leaves the field. Hopefully nothing too serious.

    I think Scotland are pretty pleased and Taj Nehar will not be happy. It was a really good bit of work from Abtaha Maqsood in the mid-wicket. She fired that ball in to Olivia Bell who took the stumps and it was well out in the end.

    WICKET

    Taj run out (Maqsood/Bell) 0 (Ban 69-3)

    Taj Nehar was well down the track after Sobhana Mostary worked it to mid-wicket, but found herself high and dry after turning on her heels to get back in her crease at the non-striker's end.

    Good work in the field by Scotland.

  13. Umpire review

    A communication mix-up between Sobhana Mostary and Taj Nehar and Scotland might have got themselves a run out here.

    The latter is furious after Olivia Bell breaks the stumps following a throw by Abtaha Maqsood to the non-striker's end.

    It's gone upstairs but Taj looks to be toast here. She's furious with her batting partner for not setting off.

  14. Tash Farrant
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That's well bowled there by Katherine Fraser. She fired it in a little bit quicker and shorter as she thought that Shathi Rani was really trying to exploit hitting straight down the ground.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Rani c Horley b Fraser 29 (Ban 68-2)

    Katherine Fraser holds her nerve as Shathi Rani's luck runs out.

    Rani swipes at one pushed through by Fraser and ends up with more elevation than distance. A simple catch for Saskia Horley at mid-wicket who easily pouches the catch.

    Smart cricket from Scotland.

  16. Tash Farrant
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That's a really nice shot from Shathi Rani. She danced down the wicket and produced a beautiful swing of the bat to find the boundary.

  17. Ban 64-1

    Shathi Rani decides to break the shackles with good use of the feet again, despite Sarah Bryce lurking behind the stumps. Rani whacks Katherine Fraser down the ground for

    Scotland's fielders will fancy their chances of one being skied here.

  18. Tash Farrant
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Scotland are bowling really tightly here. They haven't found those wickets, but they've been very disciplined with the ball. They just need to back that up in the field as the innings goes on.

  19. Ban 60-1

    Astute captaincy from Kathryn Bryce as Scotland's spinners continue to squeeze the runs.

    Five singles off Abtaha Maqsood's over as Shathi Rani (24*) and Sobhana Mostary (23*) find the fielders or knock the ball into the gaps.

  20. 'Hopefully we can inspire'

    Scotland want to inspire the next generation in their first appearance at the Women's T20 World Cup, according to wicketkeeper Sarah Bryce.

    Bryce says the reality of being at a World Cup has not quite hit but is relishing the prospect of playing on a bigger stage than Scotland are used to.

    "When we were growing up, we didn't get to see a women's team at a World Cup, so hopefully that will be something special for people to see and watch," the 24-year-old said.

    "If they can see us playing and enjoying it, hopefully that will inspire a few people.

    ""It hasn't fully sunk in yet. It's going to be a different level to what we play usually. Hopefully we can be competitive and show where we're at."
