TMS aren't covering the one day series in Bangladesh. Does anyone know if other stations will be covering this series on line or via an app? I like to have the cricket on in the background when I'm working.

167-3 now, good partnership between Stokes and Duckett here, the latter looks to have settled in like he was born to it.

Stokes has had a couple of extra lives but still there and we've moved to 184-3 with 17 to go

Oh and then 4 more with stokes playing the most nonchalant reverse slog you'll ever see.

Thanks PGW.

I've found it on Talksport 2 on DAB. I didn't know they had the rights, I hope TMS are back for the tests.

Excellent 50 from Duckett, but I hear no applause?
Why is it that only England cricket supporters respect the opposition by applauding 50s/100s?
Stokes is powering on to a 100....shhhhhhhh.

We are the most sporting perhaps? In the main I find genuine Cricket fans acknowledge good play from the opposition, even in the heat of an Ashes battle. Maybe it doesn't happen on the subcontinent any more.

Brilliant performances from Duckett and Stokes now lets see how Buttler reacts to being captain, hopefully there's going to be some fireworks.

Very impressed by Duckett. It's great to see Stokes got a 100 in the sub-continent, as his play against spin was always my concern.

It's a shame to see Stokes go so close after his century but he did look tired so fresh legs for the death might be good.

Ali gone for 6 though so 245-6 with 6 overs left.  Buttler and Woakes in.

Buttler is just an animal, when he decides it's time he's just brutal.  was 22 from 22 now 55 from 33, this is why he's the best finisher in the world.

Buttler gone for 63 but when he decides to just go for it there are few things more exciting in sport.

all done 309-8

Bangladesh up with the run rate, could do with a wicket or two to slow them down before the last few over slogfeat.
