England Wins Toss, Bowls First in Second ODI vs South Africa at Lord's

In the 2025 three-match ODI series between South Africa and England, South Africa is aiming for a series sweep after winning the first two matches. In the second ODI at Lord's, England won a delayed toss and opted to bowl first, making changes including dropping fast bowler Sonny Baker due to his poor debut performance, replacing him with Saqib Mahmood. South Africa made adjustments due to injuries and illness, with Matthew Breetzke replacing the injured Tony de Zorzi and Senuran Muthusamy coming in for the ill Wiaan Mulder, while star pacer Kagiso Rabada remained sidelined with an ankle injury. The third and final ODI is set for Sunday at Southampton’s Rosebowl, with South Africa having won the toss and choosing to field first. The weather caused some delays, but conditions were expected to improve for the remainder of the matches. Both teams are working to fine-tune their lineups as the series concludes.
