- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 Schutt strikes with her first ball! And Bangladesh lose a wicket on the first ball of their ODI debut in Australia. Curves in nicely from a length outside off. Fargana doesn't judge how much it swings in. Hangs her bat out to defend but gets a thick edge - almost from near the handle - and lobs to Litchfield at lone slip 0/12.3 Huge should for lbw, Schutt gets it in her favour. But Sarmin opts for the review. Oh well. Some issue with Hawk-Eye and DRS and so, Sarmin will have to walk back. Schutt bowls it full and gets it to swing in again. Is the impact just outside off? We will never know because Hawk-Eye is down. Sarman ends up playing inside the line and is hit on the pad. Given out lbw and it is kind of apt for Schutt to get her 150th ODI wicket in this manner - a full, swinging ball doing its thing 11/27.5 A superb catch from King and the free-flowing Sharmin is out of here! Are the umps having another look? Nope, Sharmin given her marching orders. Sutherland digs it short and angles it into middle. Sharmin swivels and pulls, rolls her wrists to keep it down. But she is also cramped for room, so isn't in full control. It goes a tad aerially towards short forward square leg, where King dives forward and takes a smart, low catch 33/327.6 McGrath strikes and gets her opposite number! She bowls it on a length just outside off,. It nibbles away a touch. Nigar is tempted into the drive but once again holds back from going full throttle. Gets a nice outside edge for a simple catch to Mooney. End of the 87-ball partnership 83/513.3 Soft dismissal. Sutherland plugs away just around that off-stump this time, gets this to hold its line. Zero footwork by Shobhana who wafts at the delivery to get a thick edge through to Mooney. She looked out of depth for the time she was in the middle today. 48/432.6 that is a cracking delivery, the kind of delivery you wanna bowl all day. And one that stays in your head, rent free. Tossed up, gently drifting into middle stump and then hits the surface and turns enough to go right through the batter as she plays all around it to strike the front pad. Massive appeal for lbw but wasn't given. Wareham. however. can't be denied through the DRS. That's as plumb as they come. The only reason why the umpire may have not given it out is because she thought there may have been some bat. Replays confirm there was absolutely none. End of a laboured innings from Shorna. 103/647.2 Short and outside off, gets a top edge on the pull. Lands away from mid-on running back to her left. Fires a flat, sharp throw to Sutherland, who disturbs the stumps in a flash. A cramping Moni is just short of the crease and her fighting innings comes to an end 159/837.4 uppish and caught at gully! The bat face turned in her hand as she went fo an expansive drive, no control of the stroke and ended up scooping it to Gardner. 122/748.6 A simpler catch for Perry and she makes amends! Tossed up again, Habiba looks to charges down and go over long-on. Gets more height than distance. Perry tracks it as she moves to her right, takes it with both hands 165/949.4 Skied high, a simple catch for Perry in the ring brings curtains to Bangladesh's inning! A slower one outside off, Marufa doesn't pick it and slices it high. It only lobs towards cover.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.1 a wicket well deserved for the debutant, and she's all smiles. Habiba can tell her next gen she got Voll with a bouncer in Brisbane. Skiddy delivery, she takes on the pull but top-edges it to fine leg. The ball swirled but Supta ended up taking a very good catch. 30/116.1 Straight to cover and that's the end of the Litch-blitz! Tossed up full on off. Litchfield charges down while backing away to go over the off side. Drives it straight to Moni at short cover. Rabeya strikes and finally Bangladesh have a breakthrough, even if it is a little too late 119/219.4 Superb catch and Habiba has been rewarded for her discipline! Length ball on the pad again, a hint of movement once again. Mooney closes her bat face early to clip it across, ends up spooning it towards midwicket. Fargana charges in from the circle, puts in the full-stretched dive and takes it low with both hands. The TV umpire takes a few replays to confirm that it was a clean catch. Think Mooney was done in by the late movement from outside leg towards the stumps, as a result ended up spooning it almost off the face of the blade. Bangladesh may not have a lot of runs to play with but that has not prevented the 17-year-old Habiba from putting on a great first impression on ODI debut 134/3Extras8 (nb 1, w 7)TOTAL168/3 (25.4 Overs, RR: 6.54)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Georgia Voll, 5.1 ov), 2-119 (Phoebe Litchfield, 16.1 ov), 3-134 (Beth Mooney, 19.4 ov)
