Aus well in front but they still don't look particularly sharp to me. A lot of extras, little misfields, simple dropped catches etc

Not a great start for Darcie Brown tonight - 0.1-0-9-0

Just dropped a sitter too.

How is Gardner is the Cricinfo MVP for taking 1-14 and scoring 12 from 15 balls

She's got the second-best bowling impact to go with some on the batting side. No other players added up to match hers.

After a couple slow overs, England's openers are on the money, making use of the remaining powerplay overs.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Damn, that was an instant jinx. First one down for England.

Rabeya 1-1

I think this is plumb. Sciver-Brunt is reviewing it though.

Not sure I agree with England’s decision for all out spin and leave out Bell. There’s something there for seamers too. 130 would be plenty on this pitch.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Really smart glovework from the keeper there.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Capsey kept on trying that reverse.

Not the first time I’ve come to the conclusion she’s not the smartest cricketer.

Looked like she was determined to get it past the fielders.

Now, Bangladesh let an easy catch slip.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The spinners are making the batters really frustrated.

The England set up has been too cosy for too long so this would be a welcome defeat if it happens

Is she any better than when she first broke through in the Hundred? Hasn't developed at all as a batter.

I doubt it does, no one has chased down 120 on this pitch.

She’s a power hitter, trying to hit reverse sweeps is nonsense when they have 3 fielders there for it. Just use your power and hit straight, Ecclestone showed her how.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That was a top decision from the umpire...England's appeal was loooong
