  1. Eng 105-7published at 18 overs

    Duckett takes a leg-bye off the opening delivery of the returning Mustafizur Rahman.

    Ahmed struggles as the Bangladesh seamer gets movement off the pitch, but gets off the mark in international T20 cricket from the final ball - striking through long-on. It was a bit toe-end, but it's enough to reach the ropes.

    In comes England's debutant Rehan Ahmed.

    No pressure, young man.

    Jordan c Talukdar b Mehidy 3 (Eng 100-7)

    Jordan tries to change that with a big heave! No dice - he's gone!

    He tries to launch Mehidy over deep midwicket but it's high on the bat and Talukdar has time to set himself before taking the catch.

    Mehidy finishes with fantastic figures of 4-0-12-4. He's been decisive.

  4. Eng 100-6published at 16.5 overs

    Duckett brings up England's 100 with a clubbed single off Mehidy's fifth ball that he only half gets hold of.

    We haven't had a boundary since the 13th over.

  5. Eng 95-6published at 16 overs

    England will be wanting Ben Duckett on strike, but Shakib holds Chris Jordan at the striking end until the fifth ball of the over.

    The Bangladesh skipper resets his field for the Nottinghamshire batter, who can only take a single down to square-leg. A dot finishes us off, and England wait to reach 100.

  6. Eng 92-6published at 15 overs

    Chris Jordan is England's new batter.

    He gets off the mark with a leg-side single.

    Woakes st Das b Mehidy 0 (Eng 91-6)

    Not even close!

    England's new batter doesn't get close to another delivery with sizeable bounce, as he tries to work the ball to leg.

    The ball bounces in Das's gloves but he's got plenty of time to recover and take off the bails while Woakes is still on the turn.

    Maybe even more trouble!

    Another stumping - is Chris Woakes gone here?

    Well, maybe don't take a risk to that delivery.

    Curran charges Mehidy but the ball grips in the pitch and bounces clear of his swipe. He's well clear of his crease and it's a smart stumping from Das.

    England are in trouble here.

  10. Eng 91-4published at 14 overs

    England are still becalmed, as new bowler Afif Hossain restricts England to seven from his first over.

    The partnership is now 34 off 32 deliveries. A reasonable platform, but this pair will need to start taking more risks soon if England are to set a reasonable target.

  11. Eng 84-4published at 13 overs

    Duckett 17, Curran 10

    Bangladesh bring back Taskin for his final over as they hunt for the wicket that brings in England's tail.

    A crouching Duckett cuts a faster delivery to the boundary - he tries the same shot from the following ball but can only get a single.

    So far, only one over has seen more than one boundary in this match.

  12. Eng 76-4published at 12 overs

    Loose delivery to start with from Najmul Hossain Shanto as Duckett slaps his opening full toss to the ropes near long-on.

    England run more singles off the remaining balls of the over.

  13. Eng 67-4published at 11 overs

    Just the singles for England as they work Mehidy around for the first four balls of the over.

    Tighter for the final two as Mehidy restricts Curran to dot balls.

    England will need to accelerate at some point, but this pair are perhaps just settling back down here initially.

  14. Eng 63-4published at 10 overs

    Sam Curran gets off the mark, smashing Hasan Mahmud through backward point for four.

    63-4 at the half-way point - England have added only 13 runs and lost three wickets in the four overs since the powerplay.

  15. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 09:46 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2023

    Moeen c Hossain (sub) b Mehidy 15 (Eng 57-4)

    That rebuild just got a bit harder!

    Tidy opening over from off-spinner Mehidy and he nabs Moeen with his final delivery. The England all-rounder tries to pull him to deep mid-wicket but sub fielder Shamim Hossain is there to take a comfortable catch at chest height.

    In comes Sam Curran, earlier than he would have liked.

  16. Eng 56-3published at 8.1 overs

    A single from Moeen Ali brings new batter Ben Duckett on strike. He's got a rebuilding job to do here.

    The captain's gone!

    Bangladesh introduce Hasan Mahmud, who took that catch in the deep to dismiss Malan. It's a tidy over from the young seamer and he beats the England captain for pace with his final delivery, sending the stumps flying.

    England collapsed from 80-0 to 156-6 on Thursday, could we see something similar today?

  18. Eng 51-2published at 7 overs

    Single for Buttler off his second ball, driving down to long-on.

    A reminder that this is a reshuffled order for England - Buttler opened in the first T20, he's in at four here. Moeen was at five on Thursday, in at three today.

    Salt c&b Shakib 25 (Eng 50-2)

    An immediate breakthrough for the Bangladesh captain!

    Slower ball from Shakib and a fair bit of bounce - Salt just hammers it straight back to the bowler, he didn't get on top of it.

    It's captain against captain as Jos Buttler makes his belated entry for England.

  20. 6 runs

    Eng 50-1published at 6 overs

    England's 50 up with the final ball of the powerplay! Moeen drops a knee and heaves Nasum over backward-square.

    Decent powerplay for England - here comes captain Shakib for spin at both ends.
