and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Heather Knight's side can clinch a series win at Wantage Road (start 6.30pm), as they recovered from slumping to 11 for four batting first to easily win the opening match by 53 runs at Edgbaston on Saturday.
Skipper Knight led that recovery with 49 from 44 balls as England eventually posted a testing 163 for six.

A somewhat deflated Pakistan were then bowled out for 110, with Sarah Glenn claiming four for 12 and Lauren Bell three for 22.
It was a remarkable win, and fast bowler Bell says she and her team-mates are now looking forward to getting back into action at the County Ground.
"Northampton is a lovely ground to play at," said Bell.
"I think we got rained off last summer so we probably owe the fans there a big performance and hopefully they’ll come out in good numbers for us.

"Pakistan have always got dangerous players so we know we’ll have to be at our best, and every game we play is good preparation for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup later this year so we’ll be excited about getting out there.”
Tickets for Friday night’s game are still available for the England clash from nccc.ticketco.events
Admission is £18 for adults while under-18s can get in for a fiver.
The third and final T20i is due to be staged at Headingley on Sunday afternoon.
