Centurion: Australia won the toss and decided to bat in the second one-day international against South Africa at Centurion Park here on Sunday.
Australia fielded an unchanged team following a 141-run win in Durban on Friday, which gave them a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
South Africa made three changes. All-rounder Jacques Kallis returned after recovering from a groin injury, while left-arm seam bowler Wayne Parnell and left-arm slow bowler Roelof van der Merwe were brought into the team. The players left out were Hashim Amla, Morne Morkel and Makhaya Ntini.
There was sunny weather for the day match and the pitch looked good for batting.
Teams:
South Africa: Graeme Smith (captain), Herschelle Gibbs, Jacques Kallis, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Mark Boucher, Albie Morkel, Roelof van der Merwe, Johan Botha, Wayne Parnell, Dale Steyn.
Australia: Ricky Ponting (captain), Michael Clarke, Brad Haddin, David Hussey, Mike Hussey, Callum Ferguson, James Hopes, Mitchell Johnson, Nathan Hauritz, Nathan Bracken, Ben Laughlin.
