Bell, Hales steady England after early wicket
March 09, 2015  14:25
 Eng 72-1 (15 ovs) vs B'desh 275-7 | Scorecard

The runs are only coming in singles at the moment for England. Shakib goes for three runs in his second over with Bell surviving a confident shout for LBW as he was beaten while playing the sweep.

Strangely, Bangladesh bring on medium pacer Taskin Ahmed into the attack despite the spinners making an impression in the first few overs.

Change of ends for left-arm spinner Sunny, who takes over from Shakib. A bit of width as Bell cuts it behind point for a boundary and retains strike with a single from the last ball.

Taskin continues and gives just three in his second over as Bangladesh decide to operate with a pacer and spinner in tandem.

Bell is looking in solid touch. Sunny bowls a long hop which Bell pulls comfortably over midwicket for a four. His wicket would be quite crucial for Bangladesh at this stage.

He has eased his way to 36 from 51 balls, while Hales is on 15 as England reach 72 for one in 15 overs.
