Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal won the toss and opted to bat in the third and final one-day international (ODI) against England in Chittagong on Monday (March 6).

England, who lead the series 2-0, handed 18-year-old leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed an ODI debut and also brought all-rounder Chris Woakes and fast bowler Jofra Archer back into the side.

Mark Wood and Saqib Mahmood have been rested while Will Jacks was ruled out of the remainder of the tour with a thigh injury.
The ODI series is crucial to preparations for the World Cup in India later this year, giving the England squad useful experience on spinning, low-bounce South Asian wickets.

Bangladesh, who in going 2-0 down lost their first home ODI series in more than six years, rested fast bowler Taskin Ahmed and brought in Ebadot Hossain in their only change.
