Duckett likes width and he'll go for it when it's wide rather than leave it hour after hour.

Si Lomas: My mate managed to make 5 consecutive golden ducks all bowled in 2nd XI cricket, unfortunate to get 5 consecutive straight balls.

The England non-playing party look very relaxed. Steven Finn is sporting a nice pair of shades. But for the whites they are obliged to wear, they'd be slathering on the lotion.
Duckett is not a man to ignore short, wide balls from a seamer. He latches on to a loose delivery from Shafiul and cuts for the game's first four.

Peter Sowerby: It's been a privilege to have watched Cooky from his 1st XI debut aged 12/13 through five seasons, records tumbling, (to have been beaten more recently by James Kettleborough), through to his world record-breaking England career. Go big today.

It's catching (thankfully not literally). Cook plays a rash cut shot to a rising ball from Shafiul that beats the bat and prompts an appeal. The home players briefly consider a review but ultimately opt against it. The next ball is a repeat, without the appeal. The England skipper is finally away with a steer through mid-wicket for two.

Image source, Getty ImagesBen Duckett's first over in Test cricket is going to be spin. Off spin, in fact, from the right hand of Mehedi Hasan Miraz. Duckett's first Test shot is a bit rash as he swings big and misses the turning ball. After getting off the mark with two he is almost bowled, going back and missing with a chop as the ball skips just past the off stump. Settle down, Ben lad.

You've inadvertently kicked off our debate, Simon. We want you all to tell us about your club side's bunnies. Or, indeed, your favourite international cricket bunnies. The likes of Peter Such, Courtney Walsh and Shane Watson*...
* Only joking, Shane!

Image source, Getty ImagesThe first ball of the series is a yorker that swings in a touch and is dug out by Cook. The second beats the skipper outside off. Bit of rustiness after all that flying back and forth. Shafiul maintains a good line and completes a maiden. From the long shot of the stadium I can't see a fan. I can hear some faint cheering, though, so there must be some people here.

Image source, AFP- Alastair Cook is one Test century away from 30; he’ll be the first English batsman to reach the landmark and the 13th man worldwide.
- Shakib Al Hasan needs three wickets to reach 150 in Tests; he’ll be the first bowler to reach the landmark for Bangladesh, in fact only one other has reached 100 (Mohammad Rafique, 100).
- Mominul Haque has hit centuries in three of his seven Test innings at this venue; the most by any batsman there.

- Bangladesh have never recorded a Test win against England in their four previous series.
- This will be the second time England have faced Bangladesh in Chittagong; Graeme Swann’s maiden Test 10-wicket match haul helping the tourists to claim victory by a margin of 181 runs last time around.
- Bangladesh have only tasted defeat once across their last eight Tests (W3, D4) while the tourists come into this Test having only won three of their last 19 Tests outside of England and Wales (D7, L9).

Ex-England spinner on BBC Radio 5 live sports extraA month ago, we would have said Hameed was going to start in this Test but things change. Duckett played well in the one-dayers and then got runs in the warm-up games. How could they leave him out?

Ben Duckett received his England captain from former skipper Mike Atherton. He knows a thing or two about opening the batting for his country.
