Australia won the toss and chose to bowl against England

Australia have picked an extraordinarily long batting line-up with Tahlia McGrath moving from the No.4 position, which she held in their last Test against South Africa last February, to No.8. They have opted for only three specialist bowlers in Kim Garth, Darcie Brown and Alana King with the rest of the overs to come from the allrounders in Ash Gardner, Ellyse Perry, Annabel Sutherland and McGrath.

England have opted for three seamers with Lauren Bell, Lauren Filer and Ryana MacDonald-Gay all retaining their place. Ecclestone will be the main spin option with Heather Knight able to support while Nat Sciver-Brunt could bowl quite a bit on the seam-friendly surface. Kate Cross was unavailable for selection after failing to recover from her back injury.

Australia are chasing the first whitewash in women's multi-format Ashes history, as they lead the series 12 points to nil after claiming the first six white-ball fixtures.
