    England captain Heather Knight: "It's a slightly different wicket to what we have played on recently with some live grass so hopefully we can take advantage of that early on. Emma Lamb comes in for Charlie Dean. It was a tricky decision - Charlie has done nothing wrong, but we wanted the extra batter."

    Good morning/afternoon/evening, cricket fans. As we seem to have written for every single one of England's games this tournament, this is a big one.

    England are almost there - but not quite. They need to win, it's as simple as that. Heather Knight's team will be confident, but Pakistan have proven to be no pushover and this tournament has thrown us plenty of curveballs already.

    Are we in for another thriller? Let's find out.
