Bell replaces Filer as England seeks to wrap out the series
with victory in the third ODI
England won the toss and decided to bat first against Pakistan.
Heather Knight won the toss and opted to bat first as England and Pakistan
prepared to play their third and final one-day international in Chelmsford.
After two days of bad weather for both the men's and women's series, the
prospects in Essex were substantially better than in Taunton or Cardiff earlier
this week, where only 41 balls were conceivable in the former match across two
days of play.
With light clouds and the possibility of scattered rains,
England made one change to the lineup that barely got started on Sunday, with
Lauren Bell returning to lead the attack instead of Lauren Filer.
Pakistan named the same XI as they aimed for a victory that would secure a
share of the series following England's "scrappy" 37-run win in the
first match in Derby last week.
