twenty fifth over: England 86-2 (Sciver 35, Jones) Wicket maiden for Ritu Moni. She has 1-24 from seven overs. Amy Jones is the brand new batter. we’re midway thru. Cagey. Cautious. Can England creep to a par ranking?

Call me Nostrajamus… Beaumont attempted to head aerial however her backside hand comes off the bat and he or she plinks to hide. 69 balls for her 33, a affected person however in large part irritating knock for the opener.

twenty fourth over: England 86-2 (Beaumont 33, Sciver 35) Three singles. Get the sensation Beaumont is beginning to get annoyed right here. She helps to keep discovering the fielders.

twenty third over: England 83-2 (Beaumont 31, Sciver 34) No fireworks however 5 singles.

twenty second over: England 78-2 (Beaumont 28, Sciver 32) Four singles, England satisfied to cautiously assemble. As an apart – Bangladesh have by no means chased greater than 211 runs in a fifty over fit.

twenty first over: England 74-2 (Beaumont 26, Sciver 30) A past due, teasingly past due lower by means of Sciver, so past due she mainly glided it out of the keeper’s gloves. She has finesse to head with the ability and can want it all in this relatively stodgy wicket.

twentieth over: England 70-2 (Beaumont 25, Sciver 27) Nearly a run out! A snappy unmarried leads to Tammy Beaumont at the turf enacting a complete period dive for her flooring. It would had been shut, because it occurs Nahida overlooked the stumps after she’d accrued the ball on the non-strikers finish.

nineteenth over: England 68-2 (Beaumont 24, Sciver 26) Sciver is going for a large yahoooo into the leg facet, the ball is going hovering and swirling within the wind… and lands secure.

18th over: England 64-2 (Beaumont 23, Sciver 23) England satisfied to nudge and nurdle. Bangladesh satisfied for them to take action.

seventeenth over: England 60-2 (Beaumont 21, Sciver 22) The BIG shot does come! Nat Sciver drives excessive for 4. Lovely, she saved her form and used to be all the time in keep an eye on. There’s a few singles too however Ritu will get out of the over with 3 dots.

sixteenth over: England 54-2 (Beaumont 20, Sciver 17) Still no barriers coming for England, there’s a slight sense of frustration creeping in, particularly for Nat Sciver. Wonder if a large shot is within the offing. That’s precisely need Bangladesh need after all.

fifteenth over: England 51-2 (Beaumont 18, Sciver 16) Fifty up for England. Both batters are simply suffering to get used to the tempo of the wicket. The ball isn’t approaching, particularly as Ritu Moni is solely putting it on a period, stump to stump. Stifling stuff.

14th over: England 47-2 (Beaumont 16, Sciver 14) Drinks. A cagey first installment of this recreation. Someone goes to take it by means of the scruff of the neck within the subsequent hour or so. Time for a brew.

thirteenth over: England 44-2 (Beaumont 15, Sciver 12) Just a unmarried off Ritu’s first. Bit of a plod to this point for England, they’re going at 3.38 runs according to over.

twelfth over: England 43-2 (Beaumont 15, Sciver 11) England can’t wreck the shackles. Ritu Moni goes to drift down some medium pacers with the keeper stood as much as the stumps.

eleventh over: England 39-2 (Beaumont 14, Sciver 8) Just a pair from the over. 19 12 months outdated left-arm spinner Nahida Akter is entering the assault.

tenth over: England 37-2 (Beaumont 13, Sciver 7) Powerplay executed and dusted. Sciver appears to be like busy, slicing and riding to select up 5 from the over. The suns is absolutely out now in Wellington, in order that’s one thing.

ninth over: England 32-2 (Beaumont 12, Sciver 3) Beaumont alternatives up two with a neatly positioned clip thru mid-wicket. She’s been constant on this World Cup with out but posting a fit defining ranking. Today Tammy eh?

eighth over: England 30-2 (Beaumont 10, Sciver 3) Two early wickets long past for England then, that received’t settle the jitters. Nat Sciver is the brand new batter and he or she’s into her paintings with a unmarried to positive leg and a whip off the pads for 2.

The captain is long past! Caught by means of her reverse quantity in the back of the stumps. Salma Khatun bowled her the doosra and it used to be too shut too lower, a spike at the snicko betrays Knight and he or she has to trudge off.

seventh over: England 24-1 (Beaumont 9, Knight 4) Just a pair from a Knight sweep. Bangladesh bowling tidily, conserving the force on England.

sixth over: England 20-1 (Beaumont 9, Knight 4) Cat and mouse stuff from Salma and Tammy Beaumont, the batter having a look to assault however the bowler touchdown the ball on a dime. A paddle to the vacant ‘45 house brings a pair. The pitch appears to be like slightly two-paced, Nasser reckons a ranking of 220 can be first rate.

fifth over: England 18-1 (Beaumont 7, Knight 1) Skipper Knight is on the crease early once more. She’s off the mark right away with a flick to mid-wicket for a leisurely unmarried.

Gone! England lose Wyatt – scything within the air to indicate and the catch is taken! England stay the one facet within the match no longer to submit a gap partnership of 50 to this point within the match.

4th over: England 14-0 (Beaumont 7, Wyatt 6) Tight over from Salma, only a Wyatt unmarried off it.

England will undergo with a win. How they do it, internet run-rate smart may just impact who they finally end up taking part in within the semis, with clearly Australia the facet to keep away from. Whoever finishes in fourth position will face Meg Lanning and co. At the instant it might be England, India or, if a type of two lose as of late, West Indies.

third over: England 13-0 (Beaumont 7, Wyatt 5) A effectively timed push for 2 during the covers from Beaumont brings the one runs from the over.

2d over: England 11-0 (Beaumont 5, Wyatt 5) Salma Khatun’s spin. Salma begins with 4 dots earlier than she drops quick and Wyatt pounces to carve her sq. for 4.

1st over: England 7-0 (Beaumont 5, Wyatt 1) Beaumont nudges one into leg to get England’s purpose underway. Jahanara struggles together with her run up relatively as she did within the windy stipulations in opposition to Australia. It appears to be like so much brighter and not more blustery in Wellington as of late. Wyatt will get off the mark with a unmarried too. Four! Beaumont drives thru duvet for the primary boundary of the sport. England are up ‘n’ runnin.

Danni Wyatt and Tammy Beaumont take guard in this used Wellington wicket. Jahanara Alam has the ball in hand. Let’s play!

The gamers head out for the anthems. There’s near to sufficient blue sky to make a sailor a couple of trousers, as my ol’ Ma would say. No concept both, she lives in landlocked Derbyshire.

England: Tammy Beaumont, Danielle Wyatt, *Heather Knight, Natalie Sciver, +Amy Jones, Sophia Dunkley, Katherine Brunt, Sophie Ecclestone, Kate Cross, Charlotte Dean, Freya Davies.

Bangladesh: Sharmin Akhter, Shamima Sultana, Fargana Hoque, *+Nigar Sultana, Rumana Ahmed, Ritu Moni, Lata Mondal, Salma Khatun, Fahima Khatun, Nahida Akter, Jahanara Alam.

Hello and welcome to the evening of nights for England’s feminine cricketers. A win in opposition to Bangladesh, who by the way they’ve by no means met earlier than in 50 over cricket, will see them clutch a place within the semi-finals.

It’s been a topsy-turvy marketing campaign by means of England. They had been gaping down the barrel of an early World Cup Exit after 3 defeats firstly of the match, ever since then it’s been force on – successfully taking part in removing cricket in each and every fit since.

Heather Knight can be desperately hoping that her facet’s 2022 World Cup adventure in New Zealand continues to head the way in which of the tortoise and the hare. That their unsightly duckling early performances of dropped catches and wayward bowling proceed to change into into one thing swan-like as the contest reaches the pointy finish. Lose in opposition to Bangladesh as of late despite the fact that and it’s going to be Goodnight, Moon.

The indicators are promising, a few of those that have been having a ‘quieter’ time of it have stepped up. Danni Wyatt used to be within the runs and Katherine Brunt the wickets within the defeat of Pakistan. Kate Cross, Sophie Ecclestone, Nat Sciver and Sophia Dunkley have all carried out persistently, so that you could the skipper herself.

“Everyone is peaking at the right time going into this game and then hopefully the semi-finals… it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish,” declared opener Tammy Beaumont within the run as much as as of late’s fit on the Basin Reserve in Wellington.

They received’t be taking Bangladesh calmly. Nigar Sultana’s facet have crushed Pakistan and driven each West Indies and India shut. They just about pulled off the surprise of the match at a blustery Basin Reserve simply a few days in the past, decreasing the unbeaten Aussies to 70-5 chasing a tricksy goal of 135. If they’d been extra proactive with the bat previous at the piece then they might have pulled off a impressive disillusioned. They have a spin contingent that might injury England, particularly with all of the force on light blue shoulders. I are expecting a bum-squeaker.

Play begins at 10pm GMT/11 AM native time.

Jim right here with the decision for the primary part earlier than Tanya takes over within the wee small hours. I’ll be again in a while with information of the toss and the groups. As ever do get involved along with your musings and mirth.
