Bavuma out as South Africa bat against England

England captain Jos Buttler won the toss and decided to bowl against South Africa in their crucial World Cup fixture at the Wankhede in Mumbai, 

Both teams come into this match on the back of unexpected defeats. High-flying South Africa suffered defeat against the Netherlands while England, the defending champions, lost against Afghanistan and have two defeats in three games. 

South Africa will be captained by Aiden Markram instead of Temba Bavuma, who has been ruled out of the match due to illness. 

Buttler said, it's generally a good ground for chasing. He said they haven't batted as well as they've liked but they want to look ahead and be at their best. Three changes for England: Ben Stokes returns, David Willey and Gus Atkinson come in. They replace Liam Livingstone, Chris Woakes and Sam Curran.

Just the one forced change for South Africa, with Reeza Hendricks replacing the injured Bavuma. 

South Africa: Quinton de Kock(w), Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram(c), Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi

England: Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler(w/c), David Willey, Adil Rashid, Gus Atkinson, Mark Wood, Reece Topley
