Play starts at 2.30pm BST in Bristol, with the toss at 2pm. England aim to improve after being out-thought and out-bowled by India in the first T20 at Chelmsford. Stand-in captain Charlie Dean cites leaving too much to do at the end as a flaw to fix. India returns Harmanpreet Kaur, rested for the first T20, and adds extra spin with Shreyanka Patil on a dry-looking pitch. England’s XI includes Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Linsey Smith, while Issy Wong and Tilly Corteen-Coleman miss out. India XI: Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Yastika Bhatia, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh (wk), Deepti Sharma, Arundhati Reddy, Shreyanka Patil, Sree Charani, Nandni Sharma. England XI: Sophie Dunkley, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Amy Jones (wk), Alice Capsey, Heather Knight, Freya Kemp, Dani Gibson, Charlie Dean, Sophie Ecclestone, Linsey Smith, Lauren Bell.
"Updated at 09.15 EDT Charlie Dean: it feels a good day to get out there it looks a bit of a belter. We were in a brilliant position with both bat and ball at the half way stage, we need to be more ruthless."
