Salma Khatun has her face slathered in sunscreen. Rather admirable dedication to sun safety, given the cloudy conditions.

A rather hopeful lbw appeal from Salma Khatun as Tammy Beaumont attempts a sweep.
The ball jumps up and clips her helmet, so we've got to change that...

Heather Knight is hunkered down on the boundary, fists bunched in sleeves. Getting in the middle will warm you up, Heather - but hopefully not just yet.
Just the two runs for Beaumont as Jahanara continues.

Doug Sheehan: No Shrubsole? Have England rested Banks and brought on Bonetti instead?
Doug is referring to the 1970 World Cup quarter-final, when Gordon Banks - stricken by food poisoning - was replaced by Peter Bonetti, who was blamed for the 3-2 loss and never played for England again.

Tammy Beaumont steps up and drives through the covers - there's a miss-field and it races away to the boundary. Bangladesh won't be able to afford many of those.

It's sixteen degrees in Wellington, grey and cool. The BBC forecast suggests there might be a bit of rain in the next couple of hours, here's hoping it's not enough to take us off the field.

Bangladesh show their mettlepublished at 21:53 Greenwich Mean Time 26 March 2022
Let's not forget Bangladesh caused Australia some trouble in their last match. The Aussies were set a relatively meagre 136 to win, but Bangladesh reduced them to 70-5 before Beth Mooney and Annabel Sutherland steadied the ship and reached the target.
Here's how it happened...
Last time outpublished at 21:46 Greenwich Mean Time 26 March 2022

England lost Tammy Beaumont early in their reply, but Danni Wyatt and Heather Knight saw their side home within 20 overs.
See how it all played out here...
