England vs Pakistan LIVE: Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 score, radio, highlights & updates

Pakistan win the toss and bowl

Straight to it then and the coin comes down in favour of Pakistan with skipper Fatima Sana wasting no time in choosing to bowl first.

England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt says she also wanted to bowl - partly with the weather in mind - and also confirms changes to the XI because of some illness in the camp.

Sophie Ecclestone and Lauren Bell miss out with Sarah Glenn and Em Arlott coming in.

Good morning!

England are three from three so far at this World Cup and looking to maintain this 100% start as they take on Pakistan in Colombo today.

Nat Sciver-Brunt's side go in as big favourites against a Pakistan team that is also three from three - but that's losses rather than wins.

The game still needs to be won, though, and for that to happen, the weather needs to play its part.

After the game at this ground yesterday was washed out, the forecast isn't good for today either but - at least for now - it is dry!
