TossPakistan chose to bat against England

Pakistan Women have won the toss and opted to bat first as they seek a series-saving win under ominous Taunton skies in the second ODI against England. They named an unchanged XI from the side that took the field in the first ODI.

After overnight rain, the ground was bathed in bright sunshine and mild temperatures for the toss before a pall of dark clouds rolled in. Rain was forecast for a few hours after the scheduled start but stayed away at least initially for an on-time start.
