Toss Ireland win toss, bowl vs England

Ireland won the toss and sent England in to bat in the third and final ODI between the sides at Worcester.

England, who lead the series 2-0, made one change to their XI, resting Issy Wong after her match-defining five-wicket haul in Derby in favour of fellow seamer Lauren Filer.

Ireland made two changes to the side which lost by six wickets in 23 overs on Thursday, with off-spinner Lara McBride coming in for Georgina Dempsey and Arlene Kelly replacing Jane Maguire in what will be her final international match.

Kelly, a New Zealand-born allrounder, announced her retirement from professional cricket, aged 32, at the start of play, effective from the close. Kelly made her international debut against South Africa in June 2022 and she went on to play 110 of the 117 matches contested by Ireland Women since that day.

Before this match, she had taken 135 wickets across formats, making her the third-highest wicket-taker for Ireland behind Isobel Joyce and Laura Delany. Her best bowling figures were 5 for 12 against Netherlands in a T20I in 2023. She has scored 601 runs at international level.
