BBC Test Match SpecialBangladesh are not going to win this game. How close can they get? Sri Lanka and South Africa will want them to get as close as possible.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialBangladesh are ticking along nicely at six per over. Unfortunately they need to go at 15 per over.
When you play a big side like New Zealand you're not looking at winning the whole game. You've got to win moments.

Kerr bowls full and Shorna Akter slaps it towards backward point. There's a dive from short third but it wasn't enough to stop the ball.
However, Eden Carson is in pursuit and stops the boundary. Bangladesh take a couple.

Earlier New Zealand's Amelia Kerr got out Bangladesh's skipper Nigar Sultana Joty. Can she get another wicket this over?

Ban 90-3published at 13 overs
Hannah Rowe aims the ball at leg-stump but Shorna Akter hits it towards fine leg for four.
The next ball is very full and Akter hits a very straight on-drive and the ball races away to the boundary once again.
Bangladesh are currently fourth in the table and have lost the two games they have played.

BBC Sport in Cape TownAt 24 off 31, Murshida is at this stage where you have to try and either whack it or get out.
Ban 78-3published at 12 overs

Journalist for Irish TimesBangladesh need two or three boundaries per over now. And they've got to run hard as well, something New Zealand did so much better than them.

Three more singles added to the total before New Zealand turn back to pace bowler Jess Kerr.

Shorna's backfoot was in the crease and she's safe.
Impressive glovework from Bernadine Bezuidenhout, though.
Umpire reviewpublished at 9.3 overs
Half a chance of stumping but there's no real appeal from New Zealand.
The square-leg umpire wants a look anyway.

Image source, Getty ImagesThat's really poor batting. She played and missed a couple before, it doesn't turn it just sort of skids on. That's really poor judgement.
It's a well-deserved wicket for Amelia Kerr.
