    England captain Heather Knight: "We did well in the last T20. We just missed a little bit of execution at the back end of the game but on the whole we were happy with our performance.

    "We're going to continue to try and take wickets and contain players but we chased well the other night so were not too disappointed to do that again today.

    "It felt like we were in the last game, although the rain let us down. Who knows if we could have done something special? We played well as a batting group and we want to do the same tonight."

  2. Australia stand-in captain Tahlia McGrath: "We want to bat, this is a lovely wicket to play cricket on and we are keen to go out there and post a big total.

    "We love take the game on with the bat. We have such a deep batting line-up so we want use it.

    "I am excited to captain this side at home today and we're keen to get started."
