Bangladesh Vs. England Cricket 3rd ODI Live Stream: How To Watch Online — Start Time, Team News
Cricket fans looking for a live stream of what promises to be a tense, series-deciding third One Day International between Bangladesh and England from Chittagong on Wednesday can find information below on how to stream the crucial ODI match in Bangladesh, India, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and the United States.
After Bangladesh scored a hard-fought, 34-run victory on Sunday to level the three-match series at one apiece, the only thing that could stop the match from becoming a classic, it seems, is the weather.
The port city of Chittagong, the second-largest metropolitan center in Bangladesh, saw about 1.2 inches of rain on Monday, with the skies looking ominous for Wednesday’s match as well. The Bangladesh Cricket Board petitioned its England counterpart to set aside Thursday as a reserve day in case the final ODI is washed out — but the ECB turned down the request, with many players on the England one-day squad already booked to return home on that day.

Tensions High After Near-Fights Erupted In Second ODI
While Bangladesh saved their chance to keep their ODI series winning streak alive in Sunday’s second ODI, the talking points after the match focused less on the 75-run knock by Mamadullah, or the four wickets taken by Captain Mashrafe Mortaza and three by 21-year-old pacer Taskin Ahmed — and more on the verbal and physical confrontations between England players and their Bangladesh hosts.
After he was caught leg before wicket by Taskin, Buttler took exception to what he called, in post-match interviews, excessive celebrations and comments by the Bangladesh players. Umpires had to step in to separate Buttler from a group of Bangladesh players, including Captain Mashrafe Mortaza — who was fined 20 percent of his match fee over the confrontation.
Sabbir Rahman was also hit with a 20 percent fine for using aggressive language.
Buttler received a reprimand from the ICC for “using language or a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting,” but the England skipper, filling in for usual captain Eoin Morgan, was not fined.
Nonetheless, Buttler led the way for England with 57 as the visitors came up short in there chase of 238 in Dhaka.

Team News For Third and Final ODI
Rain in Chittagong is expected, or at least hoped, to let up by 4 p.m. Bangladesh Standard Time, allowing for the chance to get a reduced-overs game in.
Though left-arm spinner Taijul Islam has been recalled into the squad for Bangladesh in time for the third ODI, the Tigers are projected to stick with the team that scored a victory on Sunday, in hopes of sealing the series and adding England to the list of conquests that also includes Pakistan, South Africa, and India.
England also are expected to remain largely unchanged. Here are the projected teams for both sides.
Bangladesh: 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Imrul Kayes, 3 Sabbir Rahman, 4 Mahmudullah, 5 Mushfiqur Rahim (wicketkeeper), 6 Shakib Al Hasan, 7 Mosaddek Hossain, 8 Nasir Hossain, 9 Mashrafe Mortaza (captain), 10 Shafiul Islam, 11 Taskin Ahmed.
England: 1 Jason Roy, 2 James Vince, 3 Ben Duckett, 4 Jonny Bairstow, 5 Ben Stokes, 6 Jos Buttler (captain/wicketkeeper, 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Chris Woakes, 9 Adil Rashid, 10 David Willey, 11 Jake Ball.
If Bangladesh secure the victory over England, they will remain unbeaten in their last seven bilateral ODI cricket series — all at home — since November of 2014.
