Another box ticked off:
Ollie Pope’s in the studio, chatting to Atherton and Ward about his winter. The highlight of the last few months? He picks out that incredible win at Rawalpindi, and you can’t blame him – what a game.

England XI:
Jos Buttler is listed at three – a bit of experimentation?
Jofra Archer continues his comeback after a long, torrid spell on the sidelines. Here’s what he had to say the other day.
Bangladesh win the toss and choose to bowl first
Shakib wins it and England will bat first once again. Ahmed is in for Mark Wood, while Bangladesh have picked all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
Preamble
Morning, folks, and welcome to the OBO for the second T20I between Bangladesh and England!
The hosts took the series opener, cruising to a six-wicket win with a couple of overs to spare. Najmul Hossain Shanto was the MVP, slapping 51 off just 30 balls in the successful chase of 157.
England need to bounce back, and they’ve decided to turn to the wunderkind – yep, Rehan Ahmed has received his T20I cap and will make his debut today. In the space of three months he’s become an all-format international. He’s 18. Eighteen!
I’ll be here to keep you company over the next few hours – drop me an email/slide into my DMs/fill me in on your hopes, dreams, life ambitions. Go well!
