14:15 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog of the tournament opener between England and Bangladesh. Many have already picked England as one of the tournament favourites and the hosts will look to make a winning start today against a dangerous Bangladeshi outfit. 

So as things stand, England look like odds-on favourites to take home the honours from the first match, especially since Bangladesh are yet to find their feet.

That said, it could still become a little bit of a tester if there were weather-related interruptions, which is a constant possibility with all matches played in England at this time of the year.

But that too should favour the home team, since the cold and wet conditions are something they would be well and truly versed with.
