England: Sophia Dunkley, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Nat Sciver-Brunt (c), Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones (wk), Alice Capsey, Em Arlott, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Linsey Smith, Lauren Bell
India: Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Amanjot Kaur, Richa Ghosh (wk), Deepti Sharma, Radha Yadav, Arundhati Reddy, Sneh Rana, Shree Charani
With Harmanpreet returning, Harleen Deol misses out in the only change to the India line-up. As I said below, England are unchanged.
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur: "It was a great game for us, but today is another day but hopefully we can carry the momentum.
"Our spin has always been our strength and the way they took responsibility was special to see.
"We were looking to bat so let's see how it goes."
England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt: "We are going to bowl again. It's an evening game. There is a little bit of turn on the pitch and a bit of bounce as well. But typically at Bristol, the wicket looks worse than it actually is. Excited to get going.
"We have reviewed. Everyone is clear on our plan and what to execute today. We have prepared really well for this game."
Nat Sciver-Brunt flings the coin in the air and then has to back away rapidly to allow it to land cleanly.
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur, back in the side today after missing the first match of the series, calls incorrectly and Sciver-Brunt announces England will have a bowl.
An unchanged team, an unchanged decision at the toss… a different result for England?
They will certainly hope so.

'Brilliant innings' – Mandhana makes superb century off 51 balls
Yes, after enjoying a six-game unbeaten start to the Charlotte Edwards-Nat Sciver-Brunt era with a clean sweep against the West Indies, England's new regime were brought back to earth with a record defeat against India at Trent Bridge.
Smriti Mandhana scored a superb 112 from 62 balls as India recorded 210-5, before bowling the home side out for 113 in the 15th over.
The 97-run margin of defeat was England's heaviest loss in T20s – can they come back such a crushing result at today's second T20 in Bristol?
Let's find out…
