Australia confident of swinging Ashes momentum: Nitschke Australia have picked four spinners for the second Ashes ODI in Southampton, adding Alana King to their line-up as they look to snap a three-game losing streak in the multi-format series. Heather Knight won the toss and sent Australia in to bat first at The Rose Bowl, with the hosts naming an unchanged XI to the one that pulled off their highest successful ODI run chase four days ago. England XI: Sophia Dunkley, Tammy Beaumont, Heather Knight (c), Natalie Sciver-Brunt, Alice Capsey, Danni Wyatt, Amy Jones (wk), Sophie Ecclestone, Sarah Glenn, Kate Cross, Lauren Bell Australia XI: Alyssa Healy (c, wk), Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Tahlia McGrath, Ashleigh Gardner, Annabel Sutherland, Jessica Jonassen, Georgia Wareham, Alana King, Megan Schutt The tourists have made one change to the XI that went down to England by two wickets in Bristol on Wednesday, as King joins fellow leg-spinner Georgia Wareham, left-armer Jess Jonassen and off-spinner Ashleigh Gardner in a four-pronged spin attack, while Darcie Brown has been omitted.
