    You're looking at the body language of everyone and it was a bit half-hearted from the Australians... Maybe was it glove?

  2. Bangladesh reviewpublished at 10.2 overs

    Shorna Akter has been given out caught down the leg side by Alyssa Healy off Darcie Brown.

    She reviews immediately.

  4. drinks break

    Ban 54-3published at 10 overs

    Just two singles from Georgia Wareham's second over.

    Time for a drink. There might be the odd spit of rain in the air by the way.

    Nigar Sultana Joty is providing really good resistance for Bangladesh.

  6. Ban 51-3published at 9 overs

    Joty 30, Shorna 2

    Bangladesh skipper Nigar Sultana Joty is playing a really nice hand here.

    The right-hander punishes Ash Gardner as she gets too straight, pulverising a pull shot to the square-leg boundary.

    Superb timing and placement.

    Want to see Darcie Brown demolish Murshida Khatun's stumps?

    Of course you do.

    Enjoy.

  8. Ban 44-3published at 8 overs

    Just two singles follow the wicket.

    A tidy return to international cricket from Georgia Wareham.

    It's lovely seeing the Australian girls get around Georgia Wareham, they'll know what this means to her.

    Sobhana c King b Wareham 7 (Ban 42-3)

    More than 16 months out of international cricket and Georgia Wareham strikes second ball.

    Wareham is playing in her first game since October 2021 after recovering from a knee injury.

    Her first ball is dispatched into the long-on boundary by Sobhana Mostary, but the second is just chipped up to Alana King at mid-wicket.

    Easy as you like.

    Look at the absolute mess Darcie Brown made of Murshida Khatun's stumps...

    Ellyse Perry was the player of the match in the World Cup in 2010 and bowled a brilliant final over to win the title for Australia.

  13. Ban 38-2published at 7 overs

    Tidy start from all-rounder Ellyse Perry. Four singles from the over.

    It seems a lot darker in Gqeberha than we've seen in Paarl and Cape Town. No dramatic sunsets sadly.

    Here's how Darcie Brown removed Shamima Sultana for the opening wicket...

    That was brilliant from Joty, so commanding, so dismissive.

    Ban 34-2published at 6 overs

    Shotttt!

    Nigar Sultana Joty has come to play.

    Two balls after threading a drive through the covers, the Bangladesh skipper advances down the pitch and smacks Alana King back over her head for six.

    Glorious.

    The famous St George's Park brass band are in the ground today.

    We've had a few hold-ups already, potentially because of the band. The bowlers seem unhappy.

  18. Ban 22-2published at 5 overs

    Spin in the powerplay.

    Ash Gardner, fresh from a five-wicket haul in the first game and earning £320,000 in the WPL draft, is into the attack.

    Is that a chance? A little bit of turn deceives Sobhana Mostary and it grazes off her hip as she advances down the pitch. Alyssa Healy is unable to gather behind the stumps and go for a potential stumping though.

    Just one from the over.

    That's what happens with pace if your line or length is wrong the batter can free themselves and take advantage.

  20. Ban 21-2published at 4 overs

    Lovely!

    Nigar Sultana Joty latches onto more width from Darcie Brown and slots between point and cover for a glorious four.

    She follows it up with a drive behind backward point for another boundary.

    A good way to start your innings.
