England opt to field against Bangladesh

England captain Jos Buttler won the toss and chose to field first against Bangladesh in their third and final ODI at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong on Wednesday.

There are no reserve days for this ODI. Although the Bangladesh Cricket Board, on Tuesday, had requested its English counterparts to add one.

However, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) denied the request on logistical grounds.

A number of England’s ODI players are leaving on Thursday and it just wasn’t possible to make so many changes.

Teams (from):
Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Sabbir Rahman, Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Shakib Al Hasan, Mosaddek Hossain, Nasir Hossain, Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), Shafiul Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Al-Amin Hossain, Soumya Sarkar, Taijul Islam.

England: Jason Roy, James Vince, Sam Billings, Ben Duckett, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (capt, wk), Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, David Willey, Jake Ball, Liam Dawson, Steven Finn, Liam Plunkett.
