    WICKET

    Dean st Joty b Ritu 4 (Eng 110-7)

    Simple, beautiful, classic from Bangladesh - the bowler lures the batter down the track, and the keeper does the rest in style.

  2. Eng 108-6

    Ritu Moni takes the last over, and England eke a single off the first two deliveries.

  3. Tash Farrant

    If Bangladesh bat well, they could be in the game here.

  4. Eng 106-6

    England are desperate for some momentum, Amy Jones' lift into the off side drops between two fielders and she has to hare back down the wicket to make it back safely for two.

  5. Tash Farrant
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I love the celebrations, Joty is just so cool. Bangladesh are on top of England here, they just need to get up to the 115 mark, if not it will leave Bangladesh in the game.

  6. wicket

    WICKET

    Gibson c Joty b Nahida 7 (Eng 101-6)

    One ball after a cut for four, Dani Gibson tries the same again but can only get a thin edge through to the Bangladesh skipper behind the stumps.

    BryanRobson: Ridiculous dismissal by Capsey. In fact, England are somehow performing worse in this game than India did against New Zealand. Ecclestone, Dean, Glenn and Smith will have to bail England out.

  8. Eng 97-5

    Fahima Khatun is hard to get away, conceding just two and nearly bowling Gibson off the last delivery to finish her spell with 2-18.

  9. England began to stumble when the skipper was dismissed.

    That was a poor drop. If you've done your homework, deep mid-wicket is the hotspot for Amy Jones.

    Dropped catch

    Eng 95-5

    Oh, that is a sitter!

    Amy Jones lifts the ball to Marufa at mid-wicket, but the fielder makes an utter hash of it, eventually spilling the ball to ground at the third attempt.

    Just because you can do something, it doesn't necessarily mean you should do it.

  13. How stat?!

    Kieran Parmley
    Cricviz analyst

    Brilliant squeeze from Bangladesh in the middle overs, with England scoring just 40-4 in overs 7-15.

    This is England's lowest middle overs score in a T20I since the last World Cup.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Capsey c Nahida b Fahima Khatun 9 (Eng 90-5)

    Alice Capsey tries a reverse sweep, but she picks out Nahida at point with unerring precision. Fahima does a little dance to celebrate, and England are in a lot of trouble.

  15. Eng 87-4

    Ritu Moni helps turn the screw even further, she concedes just two from her latest over with Amy Jones drilling a drive just to the left of the bowler.

  16. Tash Farrant
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It is tough. You've just seen Capsey be surprised at how slowly it is going on to her bat. She's going to have to really be picking her moments.

  17. England's skyscrapers are getting smaller...

    Manhattan

  18. Eng 86-4

    There are just four runs from Rabeya Khan's latest over, with an alarm for Alice Capsey when a leading edge drops just short of the bowler as she dives forward.

    120 would be good from here.

    England were looking at 140 or 150 but that's gone completely down the toilet.

  20. Eng 81-4

    Alice Capsey has realised that England need to get back on the front foot here, and she slaps a much-needed four by dropping to her knee and pulling the ball past square leg.
