Lauren Bell and Sarah Glenn gave way to Filer and Wyatt Toss. Pakistan chooses to bat against England.
Pakistan Women won the toss and chose to bat first in the second ODI against England, hoping for a series-saving victory beneath threatening Taunton skies. They named the same starting XI as in the first ODI.
Following overnight showers, the ground was bathed in bright sunshine and pleasant temperatures for the toss before a shroud of black clouds descended. Rain was anticipated for a few hours after the original start time, however, it remained away at first, allowing for an on-time start.
England made two changes, replacing Lauren Bell with fellow seamer Lauren Filer and leaving out leg-spinner Sarah Glenn, as batter Danni Wyatt returned from the sickness that had kept her out of the opening Derby match on Thursday. Pakistan's lineup remained intact from the previous game, which they lost by 37 runs.
Sophia Dunkley, who was left out of England's T20I and ODI squads for Pakistan's visit due to a poor run of form with the bat, has been called up to the England ODI squad for the final two games after scoring a century, a fifty, and an unbeaten 48 for South East Stars in the 50-over Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. She was picked No. 12 for Sunday's match in Taunton.
