Pitch Report: It’s a fantastic surface, there’s good grass coverage. They have left little more grass on it, 8-9 mm. It offers a bit for the seamers and the spinners will think it will offer a bit for them as well. The wicket looks like a belter, reckon Alistair Nicholson and Matthew Mott.

Heather Knight: I don't think it's a straightforward decision so I don't mind batting. Huge excitement, it's an amazing venue, ready for the occasion, want to play hard and give it our all. Kate Cross is not playing and we have opted for an extra seamer -
