Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and invited England to bat first in the second T20 international, hoping to wrap up the series at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka, on Sunday.

Earlier, the Tigers won the first of three-match series in Chattogram by six wickets, thanks to a disciplined batting and bowling performance.

The way the Tigers outclassed the T20 powerhouse and the reigning global champions in the game is itself a huge booster to clinch the series, said young pacer Hasan Mahmud, who contributed in the win with a classical death over bowling.

Bangladesh have made a change in the team as Mehidy Hasan Mirza replaces Shamim Hossain. Visiting England also have made a change as debutant leg spinner Rehan Ahmed comes in for Mark Wood.
