England v Bangladesh, ICC Champions Trophy 2017: How to watch live on TV, online and mobile in the UK and abroad
England face Bangladesh in Group A clash of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 clash on Thursday.
England will take on Bangladesh in the opening match of the 2017 Champions Trophy 2017 at Kennington Oval, London on 1 June, Thursday.
The Three Lions have hosted the tournament on two occasions in the past and have lost to West Indies and India in the final in 2004 and 2013, respectively. As a host nation, England will be looking to win the tournament for the first time this year.
Eoin Morgan will lead the side in the 2017 Champions Trophy. He will be hoping that England's record in the One Day International (ODIs) in the last two years will help them achieve success.
The host enter the major ICC tournament after managing a 2-1 series victory over South Africa. However, they will have to be worried about the manner in which they lost to the Proteas in the last ODI.
England lost six wickets in the first five overs and their latest defeat should not dent their confidence in the opening fixture against the Asian Tigers. The English side were bowled out for 153 runs and South Africa had no trouble in chasing the target.
Bangladesh lost to India in the knockout stages of the 2015 ICC World Cup in Australia. A team which is full of energy and high on confidence will be hoping to shine in the 2017 Champions Trophy.
England and Bangladesh are placed in Group A, along with Australia and New Zealand. The latter two will face each other in the other Group A fixture at Edgbaston, Birmingham on 2 June, Friday.
