  1. Ban 83-3published at 14 overs

    Adil Rashid spins a big bouncing leg-break which beats batter, stumps and wicketkeeper and races away for four.

    An eventful over comes to an end.

  2. Not outpublished at 11:49 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2023

    Najmul Hossain Shanto survives. It's straightened from Adil Rashid but is deemed to be umpire's call.

    A close call for the Bangladesh batter.

  3. England reviewpublished at 13.3 overs

    We have a review after Najmul Hossain Shanto attempts to sweep Adil Rashid and is struck on the pad. It's given not out on the field.

    Could be close this one.

  4. 6 runs

    Ban 77-3published at 13.1 overs

    The shackles are broken by Mehidy Hasan Miraz who dances down the wicket and plays the shot of the day courtesy of an aerial cover drive which flies to the boundary. A hint of Suryakumar Yadav in that shot.

  5. Ban 71-3published at 11:46 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2023

    Target 118

    Dabs, pokes, prods and flicks the order of the day from this Bangladesh pair to Rehan Ahmed as they work the ball around the 360 collecting six runs off the over.

    The run rate is 6.71 so Bangladesh seem happy to keep wickets in hand for the time being.

  6. Ban 65-3published at 12 overs

    Bangladesh need 53 off 48 balls at the end of Adil Rashid's over as we now have leg spin from both ends.

    Again Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan Miraz content to work the ball around. Rashid finishes the over with a wide and three dots.

    England starting to build some pressure.

  7. Ban 60-3published at 11 overs

    Four more singles off Rehan Ahmed's next four balls as he's flicked off the pads and dabbed into the gaps. The youngster gets a slight ticking off from the umpires for encroaching on the danger area with his delivery follow through.

    Hridoy c Woakes b Rehan Ahmed 17 (Ban 56-3)

    The teenager strikes! Not the greatest of wickets, in all honesty.

    A wide long hope from Rehan Ahmed and Towhid Hridoy's eyes light up. However, the Bangladesh slices it into the hands of Chris Woakes at gully.

    Ahmed affords himself a wry chuckle.

  9. Postpublished at 11:34 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2023

    Rehan Ahmed gets the first over after drinks on his T20 International debut.

  10. drinks break

    Drinks breakpublished at 11:33 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2023

    A quick break to refresh a dry palate.

    Bangladesh still the favourites...but with three spinners to call upon on this pitch England will have hope.

  11. Ban 55-2published at 10 overs

    Adil Rashid tosses one up and Towhid Hridoy frees his arms to hit down the ground. Again, the awkward grip on the pitch means the Bangladesh batter does not quite middle it, but still has enough on the ball for a one-bounce four with Jofra Archer unable to stop it in the deep.

    A couple of balls later and Hridoy takes a bit step and wallops Rashid aerially through the covers with a lusty swing of the bat. The crowd are on their feet at the Shere Bangla National Stadium.

  12. Ban 45-2published at 9 overs

    Najmul Hossain Shanto shuffles down the pitch to Moeen Ali's first ball and attempts to go over the top, but he ends up spooning it short of Jofra Archer in the deep.

    Big turn from Moeen's fourth and fifth balls ball, the latter of which just caresses the glove of Shanto as he attempts to sweep and loops it over Jos Buttler stood up to the stumps.

  13. Ban 41-2published at 8.0 overs

    A tricky pitch to bat on this and Adil Rashid's googly proved awkward for Bangladesh's batters to pick in the first T20.

    Towhid Hridoy picks it from his fourth ball and is able to nudge into the leg side for a single. He and Najmul Hossain Shanto happy to work it round for now.

  14. Ban 36-2published at 7 overs

    Four singles off Moeen Ali's first over as Najmul Hossain Shanto and Towhid Hridoy reverse sweep and dab into the gaps.

    Adil Rashid into the attack now.

  15. Postpublished at 11:20 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2023

    Time for spin, then. Moeen Ali is thrown the ball by Jos Buttler.

  16. Ban 32-2published at 6 overs

    The left-handed Najmul Hossain Shanto is beaten by a medium-paced cutter from Jofra Archer's fourth ball but the Bangladesh batter is able to get over the top of the England fast bowler's next delivery and cuts it wide of backward square. Classy shot.

  17. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 5.1 overs

    Talukdar c Moeen b Archer 9 (Ban 27-2)

    England's seamers are on to something with the short stuff which just seems to be sticking into the pitch encouraging the Bangladesh batters to take it on.

    This time Jofra Archer bangs it in and Rony Talukdar cloths a pull short to Moeen Ali at mid-on who takes it coolly on the move.

  18. Ban 27-1published at 5 overs

    Almost deja vu for Sam Curran as he drops his first ball of his third over in short and Rony Talukdar does not quite generate sufficient power on an attempted pull shot. Phil Salt is lurking at deep square leg, but this time the ball drops short.

    Good variations from the left-arm seamer in the remainder of the over as Bangladesh fail to find the boundary.

  19. Ban 21-1published at 4 overs

    A beauty from Jofra Archer with his penultimate delivery as he cuts Rony Talukdar in two, who is done for pace by the England quick.

    When will Jos Buttler turn to spin? Not yet, Sam Curran to continue.

  20. Ban 20-1published at 3.4 overs

    Jofra Archer up in the mid-eighties with his first three balls. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Rony Talukdar, happy to milk the singles
