England v Bangladesh: Cricket World Cup 2023 – live

Good morning! We’re in Dharamsala today (well, the teams are) where England (one game, one thrashing by New Zealand) face Bangladesh (one game, one easy victory over Afghanistan). 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. See you here!
