England: Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones (wk), Heather Knight, Nat Sciver-Brunt (c), Sophia Dunkley, Emma Lamb, Alice Capsey, Charlie Dean, Sophie Ecclestone, Linsey Smith, Lauren Bell.
Australia: Phoebe Litchfield, Georgia Voll, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Annabel Sutherland, Ash Gardner, Tahlia McGrath (c), Sophie Molineux, Alana King, Kim Garth, Megan Schutt.
Three changes for Australia, with Voll, Molineux and Garth replacing Alyssa Healy, Georgia Wareham and Darcie Brown.
England, as Nat Sciver-Brunt said at the toss, are unchanged.
England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt: "I wanted to bowl as well, probably for similar reasons, probably a bit of dew later on.
"Partnerships will be really important, stay in the game as long as possible. India got a big partnership."
"We're the same team. We discussed changes, but we want to go with confidence into the knock-out stages, I think we've got the right combination."
Australia stand-in captain Tahlia McGrath: "We're pretty happy to chase under lights and there is a little bit of grass left on the pitch.
"It's really important in tournament play to keep the momentum going and we've got people in different roles today so really excited for that."
With Alyssa Healy out injured, Tahlia McGrath is captaining Australia today.
She's won the toss and has decided her side are going to have a bowl.
Two qualified teams, jostling for semi-final placings.
South Africa lead the World Cup table, but whoever wins out of England and Australia at Indore will leapfrog to the top of the standings.
Still plenty to play for.
