    But don't be under any illusions - England will not be complacent about their task toda. They've been caught cold at the start of tournaments before, such as losing their World Cup opener to Sri Lanka in 2013. A solid, professional performance is what's called for.

    I say unfamiliar, as these two sides have only met once before in any competitive game. And I say "competitive", as it was one of the more one-sided Twenty20 internationals there has been.

    It was in this competition in 2014, in Sylhet, when England batted first against tournament hosts Bangladesh. Charlotte Edwards' 80 from 69 balls helped England post 137-5, and the Tigers couldn't even match Edwards' score in 20 overs, let alone England's finishing on 58-9.

    Morning, everyone. After England's men were blown away by a Gayle-force yesterday, it's time to turn our focus this morning to the women's competition where Charlotte Edwards and her England side are in Bangalore, to face rather unfamiliar opposition in the shape of Bangladesh.
