Join our writers for the latest news as England look to bounce back from their opening defeat
Good morning! We’re in Dharamsala today where England face Bangladesh . Bangladesh have slipped England a few banana skins in the past, notably 2015 when England bid farewell to a dismal tournament by losing to Bangladesh by 15 runs, and they are more than capable of tossing another under the reigning World Champions’ trainers.
England are expected to swap in Reece Topley on a pitch that suits seam, though Bangladesh’s spinners gathered three wickets apiece here against Afghanistan. But perhaps most pressing is the state of the soggy, boggy pitch, which Jos Buttler called poor’ telling the press that he was crossing his fingers that ‘no one picks up an unfortunate injury’. Play starts at 6am, I’ll be here for tea and the toss at 5.30am BST.
