Bangladesh win the toss and choose to bowl first

A couple of changes for England as Saqib Mahmood and Sam Curran replace Jofra Archer and Chris Woakes. Bangladesh stick to the same side from the series opener.

Elsewhere, Australia have beaten India by nine wickets in the third Test at Indore. They can’t win the series but that’s a terrific result for the Aussies after two horrid losses. That’s also just India’s third Test defeat at home in the last decade. Angus Fontaine has got his eyes on that.

Preamble

Morning folks, and welcome to the OBO for the second ODI between Bangladesh and England in Dhaka!

The visitors went 1-0 up in the series on Wednesday after Dawid Malan hit a very impressive century in a low-scorer to build on his very impressive ODI record. That’s four hundreds and three half-centuries now in his first 16 innings for England in this format, and he’s building a very strong case to make it to the World Cup later this year. Such are the options at Jos Buttler’s disposal, though, you still wonder if he makes that first-choice XI.

Anyway, England have the chance to win an ODI series today, something they haven’t done since they beat the Netherlands last year. So yeah, it’s been a while. Bangladesh, on the other hand, haven’t lost a bilateral ODI series at home since 2016. This’ll be an impressive achievement by England if they pull it off.

The action gets underway at 6am (GMT) – I’ll be here to keep you company before James Wallace takes over at the interval. Go well!
