It is not just the batting department that England is concerned about; their bowlers went for plenty conceding 348 runs. Only Joe Root and Jos Buttler kept them in the hunt with brilliant centuries that almost sealed the game until their lower order faltered.
On the other hand, going into Saturday's game, skipper Mashrafe Mortaza will expect his middle order to perform with the bat and help Bangladesh to replicate their performance with which they had come out against South Africa.
TOSS UPDATE: Bangladesh won the toss and opted to ball first against England at Cardiff. Skipper Mortaza said he’ll be hoping for his tome to bounce back.
Mortaza: We will bowl first. This pitch has been under cover for the last two days. We liked to but we are sticking with the same team. Last match was disappointing but hopefully we will bounce back. We have to play at our best to beat this England team.
England decided to replace Moeen Ali with Plunkett in the playing XI.
Morgan: I don't think this is a bad toss to lose. We had a bad day against Pakistan. We played some good cricket against South Africa and hopefully we will play good cricket too.
