Bangladesh 71-2 (15 ovs) vs Eng | Scorecard


Pacer Chris Woakes comes into the attack after a good first spell from Anderson, who took two for 20 in six overs.

Mahmudullah takes a single from the fourth ball before Sarkar smashes one through the covers for a four to raise the 50-run stand for the third wicket. The duo have helped Bangladesh rally after the two early wickets and England are under pressure to make a breakthrough in the next few overs with both batsmen growing in confidence.

Part-time spinner Moeen Ali comes into the attack to replace Jordan, who bowled just two overs in his first spell giving away 17 runs. Bangladesh opt to play with caution as they get four runs from his first over, including a wide.

Mahmudullah had quite a few play and misses at the start of his innings. He gives Woakes the charge and clobbers him over midwicket for the first six of the innings.

Nine runs from the over take Bangladesh to 71 for two in 15 overs with Sarkar on 24 and Mahmudullah on 39.
