BAN vs ENG Live Score: Both are coming off wins in their last matches. England vs Bangladesh Live Score and Updates: Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah won the toss and opted to bat against England in their Group 1 Super 12 match of the T20 World Cup here on Wednesday.
Bangladesh made one change to their previous match playing XI, bringing in left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam in place of Taskin Ahmed. England retained the same team that had trounced defending champions West Indies in their group opener.
Bangladesh Playing XI: Mahmudullah (c), Mohammad Naim, Liton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Afif Hossain, Nurul Hasan (wk), Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Shoriful Islam and Mustafizur Rahman.
England Playing XI: Eoin Morgan (c), Jason Roy, Jos Buttler (wk), Dawid Malan, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid and Tymal Mills.
Tymall Mills finishes with back-to-back wickets. He closes out the innings with an excellent yorker! Another impressive display with the ball by England. Eoin Morgan's men need 125 to win.
Finally Bangladesh fans have something to smile about! Nasum Ahmed the first six of Bangladesh's innings! a couple of balls later he hits another big one! He has got the measure of Adil Rashid. Can he end the over with another hit? Yes he can... a boundary to finish the over! 17 runs from the Adil Rashid over. BAN- 119/7 after 19 ovs
Mahedi Hasan scoops one straight to short fine leg off the bowling of Mills. He departs for 11. BAN 102/7 | Can they push past 120?
Bangladesh have lost their skipper! Livingstone strikes again as Mahmudullah looks to go big! the leg break turned just enough to find the edge. Bangladesh are unable to score runs quickly and are sinking further. BAN- 83/6 in 14.5 overs
Horror running show leaves Afif stranded! Bangladesh are collapsing here! Afif Hossain has been run out after a misfield | BAN- 76/5 after 13 overs
A brilliant review from England! Livingstone traps Mushfiqur leg before and the partnership is broken. BAN- 63/4 after 11 overs | England's spinners bowled very straight to Mushfiqur Rahim, in at his off stump for much of the innings. Their lengths were also very consistent - the fullest ball Rahim faced from the spinners was the one that dismissed him.
Much needed for the Tigers and it comes after Mushfiqur gets a bottom edge that flies away towards the third man are. Bangladesh need a more of these. BAN- 42/3 after 8 ovs
Rashid takes flight and pulls off a stunning catch to dismiss Shakib. Bangladesh in a spot of bother. Big wicket for England as Chris Woakes gets rid of the No.1 all-rounder in T20Is, Shakib Al Hasan for just 4. BAN are 27/3 off the powerplay.
Woakes strikes to get the all-important wicket of Shakib Al Hasan. Poor shot from the southpaw! Adil Rashid takes a good diving catch at square leg. Bangladesh now struggling at the moment, they are 26/3 at the moment.
Liton's aggressive strategy doesn't work today! OUT! Moeen Ali picks up the wicket as the right-hander mistimes the sweep and gets caught in the deep. Mohammad Naim falls the very next ball for 5 to give Moeen two in two - isn't he having a good start to the World Cup? MOEEN ON A HAT-TRICK! But safely negotiated. BAN- 14/2 after 2.4 ovs
Liton Das on the front foot from the start and gets a couple of boundaries off Moeen Ali. BAN- 10/0 after 1 over

We have been good at chasing, the wicket looks good, played here during the IPL. We need to adapt, no team changes for us. The scars of past motivate you for the future. The focus today is on what we can do.
Mahmudullah has won the toss and has opted to bat first. "We are going to bat first. The wicket looks good, so we want to put a good total. We have one change. Shoriful comes in. We got three spinners playing, so we need to restrict them. This is a new game, so we need to play well."
Doesn't have much grass on it, looks a bit dry, so should be a good contest between the bat and ball, reckons Dale Steyn. Spinners might get some help as it's a pretty dry surface.
