TOSS - England have won the toss and they have elected to BOWL first!

South Africa on the other hand, will hope that their top order starts to contribute heavily. They will be thrilled with the performance of Tristan Stubbs who played a gem of an innings last game. Their bowling needs to be much more disciplined if they are to win this game and the spinners will need to be much more economical. The biggest factor for their loss in the last game was their fielding which let them down heavily. Several dropped catches marred their bowling performance and will be looking to rectify that aspect of their game. As long as the rain plays no part in this contest, we are in for a wonderful match up. Stay tuned for the toss in a bit…
