Looks like sky sports isn't showing the match in the U.K.

I am excited about Momin, Miraz, Rubel(if i dare),Taskin.
I dont know what they will do but if we do well in this test atleast two out of these 4 will perform well.

I don't know. I'm not at the ground

Might be on and off, who knows...

Guaranteed under 90 overs will be bowled

[aklemalp]

I think rabbi might play instead of roy, while Souyma sits on the bench.

Then it will be pathetic choice. Roy is much better then rabbi. I don't think rabbi will get chance. Roy impressed haturi at the net with his bounce ... so do us in the t20 seires. What rabbi did ? Getting hammered and loose ball over the place..

Nope, on time start, no rain, clear according to Mr. Scott Styris.

[Rifat]

The first two hours of play may be extremely challenging, but the boys should be up for it.

[Match Adda]

No rain at this moment. I ask my aunt who lives in nz. And she said, rain is not much that game will be postponed. Nz drained system is good. We r expecting at least 70 overs game... and tomorrow will start early morning... that's why I'm praying, hope Bd win the toss.

[NoName]

I'm really excited for this match, green pitch and we're going in with a pace heavy attack. My excitement will also depend on the toss and if we bowl first

If we bat first, I'm just going to brace myself for the ensuing comedy

The first two hours will define how this test ends up...
if we bat... gonna be hard... but if we manage to go pass the first 2 hours...

if we bowl, I am confident... we can at least impress with bowling

[Match Adda]

Also cricinfo said ... we r on baby. It's a sunshine day. Good luck boys

[Match Adda]

13 mins to go for toss...

Lol do these idiots at CI not count WC matches as away?

Bangladesh, meanwhile, are playing their first overseas Test since September 2014. The last time they won an away game was in 2013 v Zimbabwe in a T20I.
