Ben Duckett is poised to open the batting for England on Thursday, leaving teenager Haseeb Hameed waiting for his Test debut.

Duckett took a full part in England’s final net session before the first Test against Bangladesh, batting first alongside the preferred likely top six of Alastair Cook, Joe Root, Gary Ballance, Moeen Ali and Ben Stokes. Duckett then had a full throwing and catching session with Trevor Bayliss, the England head coach. Gary Ballance had a short leg fielding drill with Bayliss, a position Hameed would be expected to fill on Test debut.
