Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim won the toss and elected to bat first in the second Test against England at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Friday.

England lead the two-Test series 1-0 thanks to their 22-run win in the first Test in Chittagong, which ended on Monday.

The visitors have made two changes to their team as left-arm spinner Zafar Ansari replaces Gareth Batty, making his Test debut, while paceman Steven Finn has come in for Stuart Broad.

Bangladesh picked all-rounder Shuvagata Hom ahead of Shafiul Islam in their only change. They are playing with just one specialist fast bowler.

After losing the thrilling first Test in Chittagong by 22 runs earlier this week, Bangladesh have no other option but to win the second Test to save the series while the English side will be eager to extend its 100 percent record against Bangladesh by wrapping up the series.

The Tigers' will be looking at three different options to replace pacer Shafiul Islam. They could still go with a two-man seam attack by picking Subashis Roy, who would be making his Test debut. But the place is also open for Soumya Sarkar to play as a second seamer though his variety would be of less quality, or they could go for Shuvagata, who hasn't had a great Test record.

The Bangladesh bowling attack will bear a similar look in Dhaka too, with ace allrounder Shakib leading the pack. He will be glad to have the support of Mehedi Hasan and Taijul Islam, though the pace bowling department looks bare. Shuvagata Hom, for once, seems like a better choice as a fourth spinner.

Bangladesh has also called up Mosaddek Hossain as a back-up to Sabbir Rahman, who was suffering from a stomach problem after his valiant innings of 64 in the second innings of the first Test.

The visitors have also stuck with the top six that played in Chittagong. Ben Duckett is yet to show his wide-ranging skills while the more experienced Alastair Cook and Joe Root will expect to make runs in Dhaka. Gary Ballance could be a tense presence, fighting to extend his run in the side, but there won't be the same issues with Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes, who had a brilliant game in the first Test in Chittagong.

Stokes' ability to reverse the ball could away the game towards England, though he will need support from Chris Woakes and Steven Finn, who has been confirmed as a replacement for the rested Stuart Broad. England's spinners will ultimately have to do the bulk of the bowling, especially Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid. Zafar Ansari has been confirmed for a Test debut, replacing Gareth Batty.
