    Mark Wood, who went for 17 in his first over, is back into the attack.

  2. Ban 111-3published at 12 overs

    Shakib Al Hasan is the new batter and he's off the mark straight away. A good over from Moeen Ali, though, with four runs and a wicket from it.

    England need to find a way to winkle out Najmul Hossain Shanto, though, if they are to have a chance here.

    A vital breakthrough as England open an end.

    Towhid Hridoy attempts to go big against Moeen Ali with a heave to leg across the line. He gets the elevation but not the distance as Sam Curran calmly jogs in from mid-wicket to claim a simple catch.

    Jos Buttler brings the field up in an attempt to force Towhid Hridoy to hit aerially down the ground. Adil Rashid tosses one up, but Hridoy is able to slog sweep it over the boundary at cow corner.

    Impressive stuff from the debutante.

    At the halfway point as the players have a quick drink Bangladesh look in a strong position at 98-2.

    They need 59 off 60 balls.

    England found it much trickier in the second part of their innings, though, so still some hope.

    Najmul Hossain Shanto has his bat comfortably over the line.

  9. Umpire reviewpublished at 9.3 overs

    Moeen Ali thrown the ball. Jos Buttler attempts to direct a throw from the deep on to the stumps as Najmul Hossain Shanto looks to get back at the striker's end. He looks safe but the umpires will check.

    Plenty of power in Najmul Hossain Shanto's boundaries, but he shows some finesse as well.

    The Bangladesh batter waits for Sam Curran's fourth ball and uses the pace as he glances it off the face off his horizontal bat for four through third.

    England were 68-0 at the same point.

  11. Ban 84-3published at 8.3 overs

    Sam Curran flicks the ball in the air at the top of his mark with his index finger, before mopping his brow.

    A dot and two singles to start as Curran looks to bowl cutters into the pitch.

    Najmul Hossain Shanto and Towhid Hridoy content to work Adil Rashid into the gaps for the rest of the over.

  14. Ban 78-2published at 7.4 overs

    Adil Rashid returns.

    Najmul Hossain Shanto does not pick the leggie's googly second ball but is somehow able to get it to the boundary off the toe end of his bat.

    Shanto has 34 off 16 balls. England need to turn the tide here, somehow.

  15. Ban 71-2published at 7 overs

    A dot - which features a half-hearted lbw appeal from Mark Wood - and a single to finish the over.

    Jos Buttler looks pensive as he strokes his chin with a wicketkeeping glove. Back to spin, perhaps?

    Mark Wood digs it into Najmul Hossain Shanto but he watches it on to the bat and pulls the England quick for a fourth consecutive four.

    Bangladesh are motoring.

    Mark Wood, stubble and short hair, is into the attack but is dispatched for three consecutive fours by Najmul Hossain Shanto.

    Shanto twice beats the diving Chris Jordan with drives down the ground either side of a glorious pull.

  18. Ban 54-2published at 6 overs

    Towhid Hridoy is the new batter at dusk in the south-eastern Bangladesh city.

    He's understandably a little nervous against Chris Woakes, but hits his first boundary off his fifth ball with an on drive down the ground. Nice.

    Hridoy backs it up with another next ball flicked down past fine leg.

    The dangerous Litton Das falls to a soft dismissal.

    Das attempts to pull Jofra Archer to the leg side but ends up popping it into the air to the grateful hands of Chris Woakes at mid-on.

    A vital wicket for England to stymie the run rate.

    Jofra Archer continues. There's half a run out chance as Litton Das looks to take a second which Najmul Hossain Shanto is not interested in.

    Overall, a very useful start by Bangladesh.
