Vince (16) & Roy (41) leaving England 61/2 inside 12 overs
England do have a very long batting line up which could be key

Bangladesh putting up a fight here. 162/4 from 27.5 requiring another 147 from 132 balls. England still favourites but next few overs are crucial.

Might sound harsh but Duckett couldn't have got out a better time for England, as it gave Buttler time to get in,

What a bizarre shot from Buttler, amazing he managed to hit that for 4.

50 partnership now and runrate is perfectly fine, we're still in this.

Shocking start from England, wasted review and Bangladesh 69/0 from 16 overs. Already looking like a biggie.

Why no Jason Roy, also I thought England should have batted 1st, as both matches have been won by the team batting 1st

Roy is injured, Willey dropped. I think you have a point about runs on the board, although we've checked their progress twice now they're still on for a decent score. Need another couple of quick wickets.

I'm listening on Talksport 2 at work, it has to be said it's like Conference standard compared to the Premier League which is Test Match Special. Adverts in between overs WTF!!!

England need 176 from 192 balls with 9 wickets in hand. Could be a great finish!

yes, the night humidity will also play a big factor.

Bangladesh have a good record vs England in Chittagong too. If Bangladesh can get 2 wickets in next 10 overs, it will go to the wire.
