- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.6 edged and taken this time! An excellent grab from Mooney at slip. Schutt finally makes the breakthrough for Australia. Rising from a length, Fargana attempts to force something but it's not there for the drive. Big deflection, it was going pretty quickly to Mooney's right, albeit at a nice height. Got both hands around it 32/117.5 Straight down mid-on's throat and Jhelik's sprightly knock ends on 44. Tossed up just outside off, Rubya bends down on one knee and looks to slog this over mid-on. She doesn't get a decent enough connection, with McGrath doing the rest 73/221.5 Another one bites the dust and Gardner has her second. A tad bit fuller from Gardner outside off at 80.2kph. Sharmin looks to go over mid-on, but fails to get under it. Hits this aerially and Sutherland at mid-on does the rest. 84/326.6 Turn, bounce, wicket! Lovely bowling from King and she has completely deserved this. Tossed up fuller length ball on middle at 74.6kph that lands and turns away from Sultana. She jumps down the track, looks for a cross-batted hoick, misses and Healy completes a quick stumping. The third umpire is called for, and replays confirm that Sultana's bat was in the air. 104/434.3 edged and snapped up this time! King gets a second wicket, reward for her consistently probing lines. Lured on to the front foot and then done by the turn, a thick edge and Mooney gets the hands low to hold on. Regulation and dealt with. The dangerous Shorna departs 127/536.6 plinked to mid-off, Wareham amongst 'em straight away! Moni looks to clout one down the ground but the line was wide and she can't get the power, sends it straight into the capable mitts of Tahlia McGrath. Bangladesh's slide gets a little steeper 131/641.4 slashed to backward point, well held! Mooney takes a leaping grab above her head and Australia continue to whittle away at the innings, despite giving Bangladesh more than a few freebies. Sutherland hits a skiddy length and gets in on the wicket-taking 153/744.2 slog-swept, straight to deep midwicket! Rabeya holes out going for the big shot. Safely taken by Gardner running in off the rope, Bangladesh now eight down. Wareham's hold is unrelenting 162/845.5 pace off, beats the bat and raps the pads... not given on field, but Australia review. Looked pretty adjacent but Candace la Borde wasn't convinced. Maybe height a question? She was struck above the flap on the back leg. But it was a slower ball, so dipping nicely - and would have rattled leg stump!
