Toss South Africa chose to bat vs England
South Africa have won the toss and opted to bat first in the opening match in the ODI leg of their multi-format series against England in Northampton.
Trisha Chetty returns as wicketkeeper, having relinquished the gloves to Sinalo Jafta during the Test match. South Africa are still without leading pace bowler Shabnim Ismail, who missed the Test with a calf injury, although she warmed up with the South Africa squad in Northampton.
The hosts have promoted Sophia Dunkley from the middle order to No. 3 and Danni Wyatt, who has historically switched between opener and finisher, will come in at No. 6.
Veteran seam bowler Katherine Brunt is back in action having announced her retirement from Tests before the match in Taunton, and England have opted for two spinners with Sophie Ecclestone and Charlie Dean.
That means Lauren Bell and Issy Wong, who impressed as potential successors to Brunt and the retired Anya Shrubsole during the Test, miss out with Kate Cross teaming up with Brunt to lead the seam attack.
