A proper captain's innings.

BBC Test Match SpecialIf Joty gets some support there could be a good score for Bangladesh but without it, it will be easy for Australia.

Ban 80-3published at 15 overs
Leg-spinner Alana King has struggled with her line a little bit today.
She's strayed to leg stump more than she would have wanted to.
The 27-year-old has taken 0-21 from her three overs so far.

BBC Test Match SpecialThat was a great effort for Beth Mooney to get there but it was one of those hard handed ones.
Joty dropped on 44published at 14 overs
SO close!
It's almost a carbon copy of Beth Mooney's diving catch in the first game, as she flies through the air at backward point, attempting to catch Nigar Sultana Joty, but on the way down the ball pops out.
Joty picked up another boundary with a perfect short-arm jab earlier in the over.

Alyssa Healy has just seen it on the big screen and thrown her head back in disappointment.

Ban 66-3published at 13 overs
Nigar Sultana Joty finds another boundary with a piercing drive through backward point. She's found the gaps beautifully in this innings.
She's up to 39 off 29 balls. She's going to have to keep going with Shorna Akter struggling.

She's faced 18 balls so far and has only made four.
She's only 16 but has been added to this squad after impressing in the Under-19's World Cup in January.

Australia reviewpublished at 11.5 overs
Hmmmm.
This feels a bit half-hearted too from Australia.
Nigar Sultana Joty goes to sweep and after a chat Australia decide to review.
Where's the impact? Has it hit the bat?

Ban 55-3published at 11 overs
Joty 31, Shorna 3
Image source, Getty ImagesDarcie Brown is a serious talent. She's such fun to watch.
Shorna Akter tries to upper cut/ramp a short ball from Brown but it just drops harmlessly between the keeper and short third. Laughs all round for that, including from Australia captain Meg Lanning.
Is Brown trying a little too hard? Two leg-side wides follow that bouncer.
Not outpublished at 17:44 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2023
Off the hip.
Shorna Akter successfully overturns the decision.
The Aussies weren't convinced at all.
