6.25pm How momentum and the mood changes! An hour ago, you thought Bangladesh would potter to 160 in 50 overs. But here they are, having given themselves a genuine chance at pulling off an upset if they use their spin cards right in Vizag. That they're in this is because of Shorna Akter's mastery. A sensational exhibition of power-hitting that delivered Bangladesh's fastest fifty in a women's ODI has breathed life into the innings. There was plenty of support from Joty and Supta, with the late fireworks from Ritu Moni adding the finishing touches. We should be in for quite a ride, don't miss the chase shortly.

Sekhukhune to Ritu Moni, 2 runs, walks across to heave this across the line towards deep square, they chance a second and they make it as the keeper misses an underarm flick at the striker's end to run out Ritu Moni. Both batters are absolutely spent, but have they given Bangladesh a total and a half to bowl or what?

Sandeep Mathew: "Anyone else thinks BD have more than a decent total to defend with their spin heavy attack?" -- Without doubt. Spin will play a key role.

Sekhukhune to Shorna Akter, 2 runs, a brilliant half-century from Shorna Akhter! Steps out to carve this towards point. The fielder lobs the throw to the keeper, who underarms over the bowler, in attempting a relay run out with Shorna trying to make her ground. The throw is wayward. This is the fastest fifty by a Bangladesh batter in a women's ODI

Hypocaust: "Shorna Akter is the first Bangladeshi woman to hit three sixes in an ODI innings."
