The match will be played at Chelmsford and will begin on Thursday midnight Bangladesh time.

The wily young seamer left Dhaka to join his county colleagues on Wednesday. 

After reaching England, he went to Sussex's dressing room at Hove. Later, the club posted photos of Mustafizur in front of his locker on the social media.
"He'll make his debut for Sussex Sharks tomorrow!" Sussex tweeted.
After the match against Essex, they will play against Surrey the following day in the T20 Blast.
Sussex will then take on Gloucestershire on Jul 24 and Hampshire on Jul 27 in the Royal London One-Day Cup before facing Glamorgan in their last group stage tie in the T20 Blast.
They are scheduled for One-Day Cup clashes against Somerset on Jul 30 and Kent on Aug 2.
With two points from four matches, Sussex are languishing at the bottom of the One-Day Cup table. In the T20 Blast, Mark Davis' men have 10 points from 11 matches to reel at seventh.
Sussex announced the news of signing Mustafizur on Mar 2 earlier this year. He was supposed to go to England at the beginning of June.
But the youngster returned from the Indian Premier League with a hamstring injury that delayed his departure.
Sussex, however, did not give up and gave Mustafizur more time but the delay stretched longer.
Mustafizur regained his fitness at the start of this month before being made to wait on the visa which came around a week and a half after the Eid.
