Preamble
Good morning! The series won, the silverwear polished, Bangladesh’s hard-fought home record shredded. But there seems little chance of England dialling it in at Chattogram. This third and final ODI is a trial of sorts – a last chance for fringe World Cup players to shake their tail feathers until the autumn.
Today’s game is the final ODI England’s white-ball squad will play until September, when New Zealand fly in for a World Cup warmup just days before the ICC deadline for World Cup squads. Points, therefore, mean prizes.
As for Bangladesh, beaten in a home series for the first time in nearly seven years, England’s visit has been an eye-opener as to just where they stand against the top-ranked ODI team in the world, to be on the receiving end of Jason Roy, Jos Buttler and Sam Curran in full flow.
Play begins at 6am (GMT). See you there!
