West Indies will bat first in the second ODI against South Africa after the tourists won the toss in East London on Saturday.

After the first match was abandoned without a ball bowled earlier in the week, the players were greeted by clear skies for the second game of the three-match series, starting at 1pm at Buffalo Park.
