    England captain Heather Knight: "We're going to have a bat as it looks a very good pitch and I don';t think the conditions will change. Danielle Hazell, Lauren Winfield and Georgia Elwiss miss out. Amy Jones and Tammy Beaumont will open."

    The news from the middle in Worcester is that South Africa captain Dane van Niekerk called incorrectly - so England win the toss, and Heather Knight has opted to bat first.
