South Africa won the toss and elected to bat first in the second Castle Lager Test against India at Kingsmead on Tuesday.
The Proteas premier batsman, Jacques Kallis, has been ruled out with a back injury and fast bowler Dale Steyn has not yet recovered from the left thigh injury that forced him off the field during the first Test at the Wanderers.
All-rounders Andrew Hall and Morne Morkel were brought into the team to replace Kallis and Steyn.
India have named an unchanged team from that which won the first Test by 123 runs. — Sapa
