FAHIMA KHATUN IS ON FIRE! A massive double strike from the Bangladeshi spinner! After removing Sciver-Brunt, she traps Sophia Dunkley LBW for a duck. This is a huge, shocking turn of events! Bangladesh are right in this contest.
18.2 Overs: WICKET! Nat Sciver-Brunt c Fargana Hoque b Fahima Khatun for 32. ENG-W 69/3

Innings Break: Bangladesh All Out for 178
Bangladesh Women: 178 All Out (49.4 Overs)
Bangladesh was bowled out for a decent total of 178, thanks mainly to a determined fifty from Sobhana Mostary (60 off 108) and a stunning counter-attacking late knock from Rabeya Khan (43 off 27 balls).
England's bowlers were disciplined throughout. Sophie Ecclestone was the chief destroyer with 3 wickets, while Linsey Smith, Charlotte Dean, and Alice Capsey grabbed two wickets apiece, keeping the run rate under check and preventing Bangladesh from capitalizing on a solid start.
The pitch in Guwahati has shown it can be tricky, offering assistance to the spinners, which suggests this low target of 179 might be more challenging than it appears!
