Good from Woakes as he starts with three dot balls but then he bowls one too straight and there are four leg byes. A wide follows and it's clear that the two England bowlers need to find their radars. Joffra Archer has the new ball from the other end and starts with a wide. The next one is a full toss on leg stump and Tamim says 'thank you' clipping it to the mid-wicket boundary for an easy four. Not the best start from the big man here. Roy then stops another boundary after a push through the covers before another clip for four on the legside follows, as Archer comes round the wicket. That's 12 off the over as Archer struggles to find his line and length. Woakes bowls a back-of-the-length ball just outside off to the lefty Tamim and it beats the bat first up before the hosts' skipper pushes down the ground for two. Three dot balls follow before Tamim clips one off his hips for a single. An non-descript start in Mirpur. Chris Woakes has the new ball, and we're about to get under way. Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal (c), Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah, Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Taijul Islam, Mustafizur Rahman. England: Jason Roy, Phil Salt, Dawid Malan, James Vince, Jos Buttler (c, wk), Will Jacks, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood. Perhaps only Olly Stone (who is with the Test team in New Zealand) is missing from England’s very best bowling attack here. They have two quicks, Archer and Wood, two new ball specialists, Woakes and Mahmood, and two versatile left-armers, Topley and Curran. It is unlikely that all six can make the World Cup squad, so Mahmood especially will be looking for a statement showing. Moeen Ali remains an enigma, while Liam Livingstone has struggled with injury and has not exactly nailed his ODI place when fit. Which makes a debut for Will Jacks especially, but also Rehan Ahmed an intriguing prospect. Jacks is a powerful hitter who bowls handy off-spin and could stake a claim anywhere in the top six. Ahmed starts the series unwell, but could be Adil Rashid’s long-term successor in the all-important wrist-spin role. Openers Jason Roy and Dawid Malan both scored excellent hundreds on the tour of South Africa, but need more runs here to nail a World Cup place. With Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Harry Brook and perhaps Ben Duckett or Ben Stokes returning, there may just be one spot in the 15-man squad for Roy or Malan. And that is before we get to Jacks, Phil Salt and James Vince… On what he would have done had he won the toss. . . On the team. . . On the side's form. . . . . . and will bat No sooner has that remarkable series in New Zealand finished than another in Bangladesh starts. 'No sooner' being just over 24 hours. . . But such is the hamster wheel of international cricket that this state of affairs should shock no one. Originally scheduled for before last year's T20 World Cup, this series was pushed back to now for a variety of reasons, one being, from what I can make out, player/bubble fatigue, errrrmmm. . . Anyway, Jos Buttler and Co are back on the subcontinent for three ODIs - the first of which is today - and three T20s. It will offer vital preparation for this year's World Cup set to take place in next-door India where England will of course defend their title memorably won 'by the barest of margins' (as was yesterday's Test) in 2019. Not only that, however, and again linking it back to the one-run loss in Wellington, it could also prove key for this year's Ashes. Jofra Archer and Mark Wood are both in the squad (today's team news coming up at the toss) and the sight of both of them continuing their return to full fitness in Bangladesh would provide a fillip for Ben Stokes and Co who became only the fourth side - and first non-Australian outfit - to lose having enforced the follow-on. During New Zealand's second innings, that set up the remarkable win, England could have done with a 90mph pace ace to provide testing variety to the attack. It's more than likely that at some point against the Australians this summer that will again be the case. But that's just a sub plot for this series, the main narrative being this year's World Cup with the battle of places in the white-ball team as tough as ever. Buttler will be without Harry Brook and the other multi-format players who played in New Zealand but there are still huge selection headaches around both the batting line up (for this series Jason Roy, Dawid Malan, Buttler, James Vince, Moeen Ali, Will Jacks and Phil Salt are seven that won't go into six) and attack (Archer, Wood, Saqib Mahmood, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes and Reece Topley offer a fine stable of seam options with Adil Rashid and Rehan Ahmed providing the spin choices). That squad list only shows the strength in depth at England's disposal and it's one they may well need in Mirpur and Chittagong - Bangladesh are tough to beat on their home turf and this series should offer up good excitement for the present, as well as many a pointer to the near future. Stay here for all the action with play set to start at 6am. .
