India win toss, elect to bowl against South Africa

DURBAN: Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and elected to bowl in the second cricket one-dayer against South Africa which has been truncated to 49-overs-a-side due to a delayed start here today. The Indian team has made three changes to the squad with an unfit Yuvraj Singh making way for Ajinkya Rahane in the batting department.

In the bowling changes, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohit Sharma have been replaced by Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav. In South Africa, Vernon Philander has come in for Wayne Parnell. The match was delayed by one and a half hour due to a wet outfield. South Africa lead the three-match series 1-1.
