Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan will be disappointed after giving a life to his England counterpart as England began their innings strong in the first match of the three-match T20I series at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram today.

England openers Buttler and Phil Salt struck seven boundaries and three sixes on their way to registering 80 before Nasum Ahmed removed Salt in the final ball of 10th over. 

The Tigers had a glorious chance at a breakthrough after Buttler skied Nasum's delivery in the sixth over, only for Shakib to miss the catch at mid on region.
