By Mark Mitchener

From Barry, France, TMS inbox: "Mark, I thought they had already had two spinners in their team for the last match, KP was surely there for that purpose as he clearly cannot bat at the moment, either that or for his comedy running. I am sure that crazy first single always makes his team-mates chuckle!"

0736: What can I tell you about Tredwell? He toured New Zealand with the one-day squad two years ago, but carried the drinks for the entire ODI series as England started by playing one spinner, and finished without playing any spinners. He has 133 one-day wickets for Kent at an average of 32.59 (see Cricinfo for his full career statistics) and although he's down on the card at number 11, has two first-class centuries to his name. He's very popular down at Canterbury... oh, and he goes to the same hairdressers as Jonathan Trott.

0734: Bangladesh make a couple of changes - batsman Junaid Siddique has been dropped and paceman Mashrafe Mortaza, who struggled on his comeback from injury on Sunday, has also been left out - Rubel Hossain and Suhrawadi Shuvo come in.

0731: England have won the toss (again) and will field first (again) - and I can chastise myself as they've picked a second spinner. However, it's an enforced change as Ryan Sidebottom is nursing a thigh injury - off-spinner James Tredwell makes his England debut.


0725: Morning, everyone. As dawn breaks over the UK, it's eyes down for another day-nighter from Mipur. Can Bangladesh break their "duck" against England - the only major cricketing nation they've never beaten in a one-day international? Can England captain Alastair Cook show the sparkling form he produced at the top of the order in Sunday's first ODI, finally showing the attacking mindset he employs in limited-overs cricket for Essex? And as this is England's penultimate ODI on the subcontinent before next year's World Cup, will they possibly contemplate fielding a second spinner? (Sorry, got a bit carried away with that last one).
