Here come the players...

I think Lizelle Lee's under a bit of pressure to get some runs today. She's one of the leading batters in the world, but she's not got many lately.
Two absolute bangers of national anthems there.
Right. Cricket! It'll be Lizelle Lee and Dane van Niekerk to open for South Africa.
Anthems done.
Here is Amy Lofthouse in sunny Canberra to take you through the first half of South Africa's innings.

It's sad for the viewers here not to be able to see Marizanne Kapp, she knows these conditions really well from the WBBL.

A great opportunity for Nadine de Klerk to come in.
So one change for South Africa as Nadine de Klerk replaces the ill Marizanne Kapp.
Thailand are unchanged.
Here come the teams out for the anthems.

I'm slightly struggling with the view today - I've got my high chair, but the window's half open, half closed.
Pakistan have the capability to upset England which would throw the group wide open, but first it's South Africa-Thailand - and I'm really excited to see South Africa bat.
South Africa: Lizelle Lee, Laura Wolvaardt, Dane van Niekerk, Mignon du Preez, Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk, Sune Luus, Trisha Chetty (wk), Shabnim Ismail, Ayabonga Khaka, Nonkululeko Mlaba.

BBC Sport at Manuka Oval
Some good news from the ICC - more than 50,000 tickets have already been sold for the final. All credit has to go to both the advertising and the pricing. A$20 (£10.16) tickets for adults for the final, and A$5 (£2.54) for kids, to watch two of the best sides battle it out at the MCG is brilliant.
England will be action later against Pakistan, who beat 2016 champions West Indies last time out.
We'll have live coverage of that match from about 07:30 GMT.
England then hit back with a crushing victory over Thailand...
South Africa of course upset England in their opening game...
There was a thrilling finish as India held on to beat New Zealand, in spite of some tremendous hitting by Amelia Kerr...
And Australia offered a reminder of their title credentials with a dominant win over Bangladesh...
Thailand captain Sornnarin Tippoch: "We wanted to bowl first anyway.
"We are confident in our bowling and fielding.
"We want to show our batting side as well today."
South Africa captain Dane van Niekerk: "We'll have a bat, get runs on the board - we've never played Thailand before. It's a beautiful surface, Alyssa Healy made it look easy last night. Marizanne Kapp just pulled out with illness, we need her to rest up so Nadine de Klerk comes in."
Dane van Niekerk wants her side to get runs on the board.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of South Africa against Thailand at the Manuka Oval in Canberra.
South Africa are looking to make it two wins from two after their opening win over England.
Thailand will be eliminated if they lose.
They're just about ready for the toss...
