England captain Eoin Morgan has won the toss and elected to bowl against South Africa at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai, on Friday.

England, who were beaten by West Indies by six wickets in their first match at the same venue on Wednesday, have decided to retain the same team against the Proteas.

The dew is expected to hamper the bowlers in the second half of the match as was seen in the first match between England and the West Indies, and South Africa would be looking to post a huge score in the region of around the 200-run mark to provide the extra cushion for their bowlers.

South Africa have just one specialist spinner in leggie Imran Tahir along with part-timer J P Duminy to bowl part-time off-spin, while having four fast bowlers in Dale Steyn, Kagiso Rabada, Kyle Abbott and Chris Morris.
