    Linsey Smith has been hitting the stumps 56% of the time today, very impressive. I'd love to see the rest of the bowlers today, it's probably half of that.

    Allow us, Katherine: Charlie Dean 55%, Sophie Ecclestone 32%, Sarah Glenn 25%.

  3. Ban 87-6published at 18 overs

    32 needed from 12 balls

    Fahima Khatun arrives with a near impossible job on her hands.

    She takes a first-ball single out to square leg - more needed.

    Finally, a ball on the stumps. It kept slightly low, a bit of an off-cut action. It was effective.

    Moni b Nat Sciver-Brunt 2 (Ban 85-6)

    Cleaned up.

    A case of you miss, I hit - and hit Nat Sciver-Brunt does as Ritu Moni takes a wild swing at a straight one.

    Bit of a slower ball and Moni is through her attempted leg-side hoik rather early.

    England are nearly home.

    Dean, Ecclestone and Glenn are the three best spinners in the world. In terms of stats, they've been much more expensive than Smith, who has also taken key wickets and fielded well. She's giving Jon Lewis a proper selection headache. Things to think about.

  7. Ban 83-5published at 17 overs

    36 needed from 18 balls

    Ritu Moni enters for Bangladesh, she gets off the mark with sweep towards square.

    Smith closes with figures of 2-11, the required run-rate is exactly 12.

    Nehar b Smith 7 (Ban 80-5)

    Bowled her!

    Linsey Smith has her second wicket, bowling Taj Nehar as she attempted a big heave into the leg side.

    Bangladesh's attack is checked.

    Somebody needs to come in and break this partnership, Linsey Smith seems to be that person today. It changes game by game, but today it has been Linsey Smith and that's where they've gone next.

    Bangladesh hustle three more runs from the over.

    More signs of intent, with Nehar coming down the track but only managing a single down the ground.

    The timing and pick-up of that shot from Mostary was lovely. It was quicker but short from Charlie Dean and Mostary was on it like a flash.

    Walloped!

    Charlie Dean drops the ball rather short and Mostary dispatches it over square leg on the swivel for the first six of the innings.

    Mostary is actually going very well. The clarity of the situation is making her really positive and she knows what she needs to do.

  15. Ban 67-4published at 15 overs

    52 needed from 30 balls

    Mostary might have expected four there - she gets plenty of bat clouting Sarah Glenn out to mid-wicket, but Maia Bouchier has time to run round and save a couple of runs.

    Taj Nehar takes two for herself, lifting out to Danni Wyatt-Hodge at deep cover.

    That's Glenn's evening done, she finishes with figures of 1-22.

  16. Ban 60-4published at 14 overs

    59 needed from 36 balls

    Hmm, a touch of a chance.

    Taj Nehar tries to turn Sciver-Brunt into the leg side, but skews the ball over mid-on where Danielle Gibson flails at the ball as it passes over her head.

    From the following delivery, Alice Capsey does good work diving to her right to restrict the Bangladesh batter to a single.

  17. Ban 55-4published at 13 overs

    64 needed from 42 balls

    Taj Nehar is in at six for Bangladesh, she gets bat on the last four balls of Glenn's over but doesn't score.

    Meanwhile the required run-rate has crept over nine.

    Not the biggest turner of the ball, this time Sarah Glenn finds a little bit of turn. She's so skiddy and quick through the air, one Shorna Akter probably needed to come to.

    Shorna b Glenn 2 (Ban 55-4)

    And that's all the runs Shorna will score...

    She tries an ugly flat-batted pull shot off Sarah Glenn, missing the ball and seeing it clatter the stumps.

    Bangladesh are beginning to run out of batters...

  20. Ban 54-3published at 12 overs

    Shorna Akter arrives at the crease and picks up two from the final ball of the over, edging past short third.
