Morgan was proud of the way England's attack coped with Woakes's absence.

Today, the first match of ICC Champions Trophy 2017 for Group A is going to be played at the Oval in London between England and Bangladesh teams.

Tamim put on 166 runs for the third wicket with Mushfiqur, passing his ninth one-day global hundred from 111 balls as he paced an assault which brought Bangladesh 83 in the last 10 overs - despite the dismissal of both set batsmen to successive Plunkett deliveries.

Former India all-rounder Ravi Shastri had earlier said that the Champions Trophy is only an overdose of cricket for the audience and equally hard on the players.

Tamim Iqbal struck a fluent 128 and shared a 166-run partnership with Mushfiqur Rahim to push Bangladesh to a competitive total of 305 for six. He's going to have a scan tonight.

"That's the biggest thing I love about the squad is we have guys who get in there and take wickets". What is happening? A battle for the unofficial public vote, in which both sides say they are looking out for the grassroots of the game. "He would definitely be a loss if he couldn't play".

Smith said his team is focussed on the tournament and they have left it to the Australian Cricket Association to handle the pay dispute.

Steve Smith (capt), David Warner, Aaron Smith, Pat Cummins, John Hastings, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Moises Henriques, Chris Lynn, Glenn Maxwell, James Pattinson, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, Adam Zampa.

Meanwhile Root moved to allay fears over his fitness after he suffered cramp in his calf while batting. "I don't see it as too big an issue".

"We're right behind [the ACA] and what they are trying to do for the players and as partners of the game as well", he said. Doubly so with favourites England sharing their pool, and Bangladesh no pushover either.

Cricket Australia had in May threatened that players would not be paid beyond June 30, the date of expiry of their current five-year financial deal, if they don't accept the governing body's new proposed offer.

"I think I always enjoyed playing against Pakistan, but it is very important to respect whatever the government's decision is because it is beyond sport at the moment", Laxman said. That sort of stuff can happen.

And if this tournament doesn't work out then Taylor said his next target was the 2019 World Cup "and after that, we'll see".

Though momentum was sapped at the end of their innings, the Tigers were lifted again when Roy fished at a Mashrafe Mortaza delivery well outside off and Mustafizur Rahman took a good catch at backward square.
