Indeed. The last time I had a feeling like this we won the match against newzealand. Hopefully it won't be anything different this time around.

Stokes might not be fit to bowl

He'll bowl a few, it's whether he can bowl his full allocation which he rarely does anyway given there's 6 other options available (including Root). I think Mark Wood with his pace will be the danger man tomorrow.

Sarkar and tamim need to bat long and deep,

I'll have

Tamim
Sarkar
Imrul
Mushfiq
Shakib
Ullah
Sabbir
Mehedi
Mashrafe
Rubel
Mustafizur

We'll get

Tamim
Sarkar
Sabbir
Mushfiq
Shakib
Ullah
Mossadek
Mehedi
Mashrafe
Rubel
Mustafizur

For me imrul>mossadek as of now, we don't need mossadeks bowling if Mehedi plays, but we'll miss his fielding

[MHRAM]

Mosaddek hasn't been convincing in these conditions so I would take Imrul and bat Sabbir at 6

Tamim
Soumya
Imrul
Mushy
Shakib
Sabbir
Riad
Miraz
Mash
Fizz
Taskin

But Mosaddek will probably feature ahead of Imrul

Jitbe ebar jitbe Bangladesh!

I'm getting good vibes. Result might not come good but vibe is definitely good.

Tamim
Sarkar
Kayes
Mushy
Shakib
Mahmudullah
Sabbir
Miraz
Mortaza
Rubel
Fizz

This the XI I would play. Like already mentioned, don't need Mossa bhai if Miraz is playing. Got 5main bowlers and few overs from Mullah/Soumya/Sabbir would be handy, here's where a better part timer in Nasir would've come so handy, had Nasir been in, Sabbir could've stayed at #3, Nasir #5, Shakib #6 and Mahmud #7. Looks strong to me. Miraz and Mortaza can be more than handy with bat especially Miraz who has potentials to bat 4-7!

Stokes the batsman is more worrisome tbh

Fun Facts:
Both teams were reduced to 20/6 in their last outings

Imrul Kayes is the highest scorer (420) for Bangladesh against England.
He was the man of the match in 2011 WC match between the two teams, scored a match winning 76 in only match Bangladesh beaten England in England, also has a century in last series these two teams met. He will most probably not feature in the main eleven tommorrow.

Plunkett
Wood

How is Stokes? Is he bowling tommorrow?

[tanvir_nus]

10 hours to go!!!

Play with a free mind Tigers, look to enjoy but dominate. Look to strike hard and not be complacent, look to work but not be satisfied.

Show us your talents, show the entire world your talents! That's all I ask. This is the stage you have been waiting for.
Every one of you!

[Jadukor]

All the best tigers. Fight till the end. Will or lose doesn't matter, just play good competitive cricket.

I doubt he'll bowl full spell, never does, expect 3/4 overs from him

[mehedi]

Feeling so bad as really wanted to go and watch it live but driving from North to South where the game is bit too hard especially when fasting in this long summer days. Any way good luck hoping for a competitive match if not a win. I think we should bat first and try and score 270-280, don't think letting them bat first would be ideal as Eng have a very good and long batting line up, capable of scoring over 300 which would mean we lost the game even before going to bat

You live in North london? I lived there 6 years

Bought a couple of tickets at the last minute. Didn't want to go because of Ramadan. Couldn't contain my excitement when saw that tickets were available. Price was way too high but it's worth it. Now waiting for the morning special delivery of the tickets. Hope they arrive early.

The atmosphere is going to be electric. So looking forward to it.

[Roni_uk]

Its going to be sunny as with 20-25 deg C. This possibly would favour the English but win the toss and bat first please and DO NO let them chase the runs. 320 to win the match.

BD will get huge amount despite South London not having big BDeshi community. If England had a stadium in East London, in the borough of a tower hamlets or Newham where the Olympic park is then stadium would been 90% full BD fans!
