  1. Ban 17-1published at 3 overs

    Najmul Hossain Shanto, one of the the heroes of Bangladesh's win in the first T20, is the new batter. Just two runs off that over from Sam Curran over. England will take that.

    Jofra Archer at the top of his mark.

    The short-ball plan works for Sam Curran.

    He digs one into the pitch which Litton Das cannot resist. He's not quite middled a pull on the back foot and Phil Salt calmly checks he's inside the boundary after holding the catch above his head.

    Salt had about 10 yards to play with there.

  3. Ban 15-0published at 2 overs

    Rony Talukdar scrambles a leg bye off the last ball of Chris Woakes' first over. Eight runs from it. Not much swing. Not an ideal start for England this.

  4. Ban 11-0published at 1.3 overs

    Litton Das, with his collar buttoned all the way to the top, takes a look at Chris Woakes' first two balls before latching on to his third ball, which is a touch short, and pulls it emphatically behind square for four.

    Chris Woakes limbering up for England's second over. Nobody seems in any particular hurry. One slip in place.

  6. Ban 7-0published at 1 over

    A thick edge off the shoulder of Rony Talukdar's bat from Sam Curran's third delivery which beats the dive of Jos Buttler and races away through the vacant third region for four. First boundary for Bangladesh, albeit a streaky one.

    He follows it up with a big fresh air shot before the opening pair pinch a couple of singles apiece.

  7. Ban 1-0published at 0.1 overs

    Litton Das square drives through the covers to get Bangladesh up and running from Sam Curran's first delivery.

    A touch for swing from that first ball.

    Ollie Pope is on commentary with Sky Sports saying he "absolutely" would have answered a call up to play in this T20 series if England needed him.

    Sam Curran, meanwhile, is going through some stretches and looks set to open the bowling for England.

  9. 'Shambolic' Englandpublished at 10:50 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2023

    Former England captain Nasser Hussain on Sky Sports: "I have never seen a pitch deteriorate as quickly. [By the end] Everything was bursting through the top.

    "I don't think England helped themselves. I would have opened with Buttler. I don't like changing the batting line-up for other people's failings.

    "Two games now England have had major collapses.

    "Mehedi Hasan was brilliant. It just looked a little bit shambolic from England today."

    The same theme from the first T20 with England seeming to be a batter light, as well. Will Jacks went home and was not replaced, remember.

    Anyway, Jos Buttler and his men are out on the field. Rony Talukdar and Litton Das will open for Bangladesh.

    A sorry end to a pretty weak effort from England as Mustafizur picks up three wickets in the final over to finish with figures of 4-0-19-1.

    As on Thursday, there was a promising start, with England reaching 50 for the loss of one wicket at the end of the powerplay, but Mustafizur and Mehidy, returning to the line-up today, took regular wickets and restricted the world champions to a smattering of boundaries.

    If there's one consolation it's that the pitch does look difficult, so England will be hopeful they can produce similar results to the Bangladesh attack.

    Is that a replay? No, it's Archer gone now...

    It's a repeat of Ahmed's wicket - new batter Archer takes a big waft at a slower ball from Mustafizur but is through the shot about a week before the ball reaches him.

    Rashid hurries through and it's Archer's turn to be well short at the bowler's end.

    Ahmed run out Mustafizur 11 (Eng 116-9)

    Oh dear.

    Massive high bouncing wide from Mustafizur. Rashid hurries through from a single from the non-striking end but Ahmed doesn't follow suit. He's only about half-way down the pitch before Mustafizur whips off the bails at the bowler's end.

    Rashid takes a leg-bye off the legitimate delivery.

  14. Eng 115-7published at 19.4 overs

    No connection from Ahmed - this is a strong finish from Mustafizur.

  15. Eng 115-7published at 19.3 overs

    Attempted cut from Ahmed, it comes off the bottom of the bat and runs through to Das for a dot ball.

  16. Eng 115-7published at 19.2 overs

    New batter Rashid works the ball round the corner for a single.

    Duckett c Shanto b Mustafizur 28 (Eng 114-8)

    The ball's up in the air!

    Bangladesh's mid-on and off converge just behind the bowler's stumps - Shanto gets there first and takes a diving catch cleanly. That was a great take - there was a real chance of collision there but he kept his eyes on the task.

    Duckett's gone.

  18. Eng 114-7published at 19 overs

    A bit of danger for Ahmed as sends a ball spiralling into the air but it plugs short of long-off.

    He's safe.

  19. Eng 110-7published at 18.2 overs

    Nice from Ahmed!

    He steps down the pitch and drives Shakib through the covers for four more.

  20. How's stat?!published at 10:29 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2023

    Rehan Ahmed made 10 and 1 on his Test debut and 2 on his ODI debut.
