Opener Tamim Iqbal is in his 40 after England won the toss and chose to bowl versus Bangladesh in the ICC Champions Trophy 2017. Eoin Morgan's side will be wary of the threat posed by Bangladesh - who eliminated them from that last global 50-over tournament and are ranked sixth in the ICC's ODI rankings.

Australia and New Zealand make up the other opposition in Group A and will meet at Edgbaston on Friday.
KEY PLAYERS
It remains to be seen whether Ben Stokes will be fully fit for
bowling duty on Thursday, as he continues to battle a knee injury. Either way, the in-form all-rounder will definitely play and is likely to be high on confidence after hitting a century against South Africa in his last outing.
Bangladesh will look to opener Tamim Iqbal - a player who has made plenty of runs against England in the past - to put on a show at the top of the order.
LAST ODI MEETING:
Leg-spinner Adil Rashid claimed 4-43 as England won their last ODI with Bangladesh by four wickets in October to seal a 2-1 away series win.
