We've been playing some good cricket, have had a nice feeling of working together," South Africa captain Temba Bavuma said during the toss.
England captain Harry Brook said his side would have bowled first as well. "We would have bowled first as well. Just rotation as Saqib misses out, just be aggressive with both bat and ball. Looks like a good wicket, would have fancied our chances of chasing," Brook said.
