Litchfield in as Australia bat first in Bristol

Australia have gained the toss and chosen to bat first of their essential ladies’s Ashes one-day worldwide in opposition to England.

Able to retain the Ashes with a victory, captain Alyssa Healy backed the historical past of setting a goal on a dry wicket at Bristol when she known as appropriately on the toss.

Phoebe Litchfield has been introduced into the staff for Grace Harris, with the 20-year-old to open and Beth Mooney to slip down the order to No.4.

Australia are in any other case unchanged from the staff that misplaced the final two Twenty20s to England within the multi-format sequence.

With three ODIs remaining within the sequence, one win will likely be sufficient for Australia to retain the Ashes whereas two will guarantee they’re victorious within the sequence.

AUSTRALIA: Alyssa Healy (capt), Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Tahlia McGrath, Ashleigh Gardner, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Wareham, Jess Jonassen, Megan Schutt, Darcie Brown.

ENGLAND: Sophia Dunkley, Tammy Beaumont, Heather Knight (capt), Nat Sciver-Brunt, Alice Capsey, Danni Wyatt, Amy Jones, Sophie Ecclestone, Sarah Glenn, Kate Cross, Lauren Bell.
