England skipper Heather Knight has won the toss and opted to bat first in the second one-day international of the Ashes series against Australia in Leicester.

Australia are unchanged from the side that won the women's Ashes opener by two wickets.

England have been forced into a change with Danni Wyatt replacing Sarah Taylor, who Knight said had a "little niggle". This means Amy Jones will don the gloves.

In the opening game on Tuesday, Australia opted to field first but with clearer skies, and perhaps bearing in mind how hard a low score proved to chase, Knight made the opposite call after winning the toss on Thursday.

Australia's win in the first the three-match ODI segment of the series earned them a two-point advantage.

ENGLAND: Heather Knight (capt), Amy Jones, Tammy Beaumont, Natalie Sciver, Danni Wyatt, Fran Wilson, Katherine Brunt, Anya Shrubsole, Laura Marsh, Sophie Ecclestone, Kate Cross.

AUSTRALIA: Meg Lanning (capt), Nicole Bolton, Alyssa Healy, Ellyse Perry, Rachael Haynes, Beth Mooney, Ashleigh Gardner, Jess Jonassen, Delissa Kimmince, Georgia Wareham, Megan Schutt.
