Excellent undefeated partnership of 104 in 16.3 overs between Duckett (42 off 55) and Stokes (67 off 57)
The question is do Morgan, Root and Hales all come back automatically into the side and if so for whom? Vince - almost certainly. Bairstow - probably. And?
I would like to see Morgan left out and the captaincy handed to Root - he needs to get experience of doing so.
Duckett bowled for 60 (78) showing all three stumps moving to off. He slowed down towards the end of his innings but it was an excellent debut nevertheless.
I can't believe that's Stokes 1st ODI hundred. Wow
His highest T20 International score is only 31 - he has an average of 13.27. This is, admittedly, from a relatively small sample of 15 innings and he is always having to "tee off" first ball but that top score was his very first innings - against West Indies over 5 years ago!
Edit - just noticed that he batted at 3 in that first innings. And probably hasn't since!
They need 136 off 20 with 6 wickets in hand but still have Imrul Kayes there on 82 - a player who scored 121 off 91 against us earlier in the week (albeit now suffering from cramp).

Surely it will be the other way around?

Not a good start.
He clearly saw the light at a young age.

Tough conditions out there, I imagine Stokes will be really tired and he has to bowl as well

It has to be said that the fielding from Bangladesh was absolutely appalling.
