England Opt to Field Against Bangladesh

Bristol: England captain Andrew Strauss won the toss and elected to field against Bangladesh in the second one-day international at Nevil Road on Saturday.

England made two changes from the side that won the first of this three-match series by six wickets at Trent Bridge on Thursday.

They brought in pace bowler Ajmal Shahzad for his fellow Yorkshire seamer Tim Bresnan and batsman Jonathan Trott replaced off-spinner James Tredwell.

Bangladesh made three changes, two of them enforced, after wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim (cheekbone) and batsman Raqibul Hasan (toe) both suffered series-ending injuries at Trent Bridge.

Jahurul Islam, a batsman who missed the first ODI through illness, took over behind the stumps as Bangladesh did not have a reserve wicketkeeper in their squad in England.

Mohammad Ashraful, who only arrived to join the squad on Friday, took Raqibul's place and pace bowler Rubel Hossain came in for spinner Faisal Hossain.

Bangladesh have lost all 24 of their international matches this year, a run consisting of defeats in seven Tests, 14 one-dayers and three Twenty20s.
