Who's playing?

England will be looking to bounce back from defeat by Pakistan in their second game and will be contemplating changes to their bowling unit.

Mark Wood was introduced to good effect at Trent Bridge on Monday and adds firepower to the seam attack, but England missed Liam Plunkett's control in the middle overs against Pakistan and he is set for a recall. Adil Rashid could miss out. Eoin Morgan has no new injury concerns in the squad to worry about.

Bangladesh have performed well so far in the competition, banking a victory over South Africa before losing to New Zealand. They have a full complement of players available. 

What are the odds?

Bangladesh are in form, England are the No.1 side in the world. It promises to be an intriguing contest.

Sporting Index have England priced them as 53-63 favourites in the supremacy market with a point awarded for each run won by or 10 points per wicket won by.

England's first-wicket partnership has been so strong in recent months but so far in this World Cup they have made stands of 1 and 12, and will be looking for Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow to go big at Sophia Gardens. Sporting Index price the fall of the first England wicket at 51-56.

What's the weather forecast?
