  1. Ban 19-0published at 2 overs

    Slightly more traditional from Rony Talukdar as he thumps Woakes straight back over his head for four more.

    It already looks like it's going to be a tough day for the seamers. Promising start for Bangladesh.

  2. Ban 11-0published at 1.2 overs

    Chris Woakes bowls from the other end and his second ball is greeted by a bizarre boundary, as Litton Das' attempted ramp over his shoulder somehow loops up off the edge and trickles down to third man.

    Risky, but it just about pays off!

  3. Ban 7-0published at 1 over

    Curran recovers well, but there's not much swing for him to work with - I suspect we'll see Jos Buttler turning to his spinners sooner rather than later.

  4. Ban 6-0published at 0.2 overs

    Litton Das dabs a single for the first runs off the bat, followed by the first boundary as Rony Talukdar flicks a full ball off his pads that races away for four.

    Lovely timing.

  5. Ban 1-0published at 0.1 overs

    Sam Curran starts with a wide down the leg side.

    Not ideal.

    So England are unchanged, and it looks like they're sticking with the interesting switch of Dawid Malan to the top of the order.

    It's pretty mad to think that this is England's last game of white-ball cricket until the end of August, no?!

    Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan: "I would have bowled first as well. It will be a challenge for us but hopefully we can get the runs on the board today.

    "I am very pleased to see so many of our players contributing and putting their hands up for the team. Hopefully we can use this momentum and start to build something as a team."

    England captain Jos Buttler: "Bowling first gives us the best chance of winning the game.

    "We've got to start well. We were exceptional with the ball last game defending a low total and I'm lucky I've got so many good bowlers to call upon again.

    "I want individuals to take on the responsibility to be the one to win the game. We're disappointed to have lost the series but we want to finish on a positive note today."

  10. England win the toss and bowl firstpublished at 08:48 Greenwich Mean Time 14 March 2023

    Jos Buttler calls correctly and to absolutely nobody's surprise, opts to bowl first.

    He gives a chuckle as he wins his first toss of the year, so that's one job ticked off for now.

    Good morning!

    It's time for the third and final T20, and world champions England are left with just pride to play for after Bangladesh sealed the series 2-0 on Sunday.

    They're playing on the same pitch in Mirpur that saw England manage just 117 from their 20 overs two days ago, so let's hope for a little more excitement today.
