Righto, that's me done after a thrilling first innings from New Zealand's batters.
Um-E-Aymen Babar will take you through Bangladesh's chase.

Maddy Green was electric but it was Suzie Bates who built the platform.
She should have been caught on 65 though. Thoughts on this drop?
'I just tried to score boundaries'published at 14:32 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2023
New Zealand's Maddy Green: "I thought the way Suzie Bates and Bernadine Bezuidenhout batted helped us finish with a bang.
"I just tried to score some boundaries. I was just trying to get as many as I can and get our run-rate going. Now we'll try and restrict them with the bat.
"Bates was great to bat with. Hopefully our bowlers can do the job now."

New Zealand's score of 189-3 is the joint-fourth highest total in Women's T20 World Cups.
Bangladesh would need to pull off a record run chase to win this match.
