6.30pm: Bangladesh can take a lot of heart from the way they went about that chase, particularly after losing a few early wickets. They may have let England get rather too many to be competitive but that was really down to one woman, Edwards showing her class; to then put on their best T20 total in response, against one of the established powers, was a praiseworthy effort.
Let's hear from Charlotte Edwards, who was named Player of the Match: "It's always nice to get some runs and more importantly a win. [Fitness] It was pretty tough, need to work on getting a few more boundaries. Still some work to do on our bowling and fielding but a good start. Tammy started well and that lets me knock it about. Pleased with how we batted, Dani and Katherine showed their power at the end. I thought we fielded well but there's room for improvement and a big game against India coming up."
Bangladesh captain Jahanara Alam: "It's a good score for us, we lost but it's encouraging. We lost some wickets but Salma and Joty batted well, so it's a good day for us. [Good personal performance] I have not been in good form, it's good to get some wickets but I'm not happy, next time I'd like to concede fewer runs."
So England level up with India and West Indies at the top of Group B - two of those will soon meet, with India welcoming England to Dharamsala on Tuesday. We will be back to bring you that match in all it's glory. Until then, thanks for your contributions today, catch you on the other side. Ciao!

W
Shrubsole to Nigar Sultana, OUT
sharp stumping attempt from Taylor - is that out? They are going to check with the third umpire - and, yes, she was out of her ground! Nigar had shuffled forward, attempted to hit across the line and was beaten, Taylor then nudged off the bails with the batsman's back foot an inch or so out of the crease

1
Gunn to Nigar Sultana, 1 run
loopy slower ball, leans out on off stump and clips to leg - that's the Bangladesh 100, a decent marker for them
That's caused some pain and Nigar is going to require some treatment from the magic sponge here. She's okay to continue, though
