Jos Buttler will not field for England in the second innings of their game against Bangladesh after suffering a tightness to his right hip while batting.

Buttler, who made 64, appeared to suffer the problem while hitting one of four sixes - this one over long-on off the back foot.

From then on, he appeared to be hindered while running between the wickets.

His hitting power was not affected, however. His cameo came off just 44 deliveries as England reached 386 for six.

Jonny Bairstow will keep wicket in his absence.
