Fahima Khatun to Emma Lamb, OUT! TAKEN! Fahima Khatun gets her third wicket! Another big wicket for Bangladesh Women! On a delivery pitched on a good length outside off, Emma Lamb steps forward and attempts to loft it, but only manages to get the toe end of her bat on it. The ball carries towards mid on, where Nahida Akter completes a tumbling catch. Okay, drama once again as Lamb is requested to stay on the ground. The on-field umpire refers the decision to the third umpire, likely to confirm whether Nahida maintained control while getting up. After reviewing multiple angles, the third umpire confirms that her fingers were securely beneath the ball when she completed the catch. The big screen flashes OUT! Emma Lamb departs for 1 (12). Things are getting worrisome for England Women as they are half side down with just 78 runs on the board. They need another 101 runs to win.

Fahima Khatun to Sophia Dunkley, OUT! LBW! A double whammy from Fahima Khatun and this contest has just got spicier now! A full, flighted delivery on the middle stump line that tempts Dunkley to step forward. The ball skids on and slides past her inside edge. It hits her pads. A huge appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Sophia Dunkley has a chat with her partner and goes for a review. No bat is involved on UltraEdge and the Ball Tracking shows the ball is projected to clip the leg stump on the umpire's call. The onfield decision stands OUT. Bangladesh Women are well and truly alive in this game as England Women have now slipped down from 69/2 to 69/4.
