South African captain Quinton de Kock said the possibility of dew on the outfield during the second innings was a factor in his decision.

England skipper Eoin Morgan said he was looking for a "marked improvement" after his team were beaten by one run in the first match in East London on Wednesday.

"Batting first gives us a first opportunity to impose ourselves," he said.

In the only change in the two teams, left-arm spinner Bjorn Fortuin replaced veteran fast bowler Dale Steyn in the South African side.
