South Africa won the toss and opted to bat first in the second test against Australia at the Wanderers on Thursday.

Australia, meanwhile, made two changes to the side that lost at Newlands after they were bowled out for 47 in their second innings.
Top-order batsman Shaun Marsh has returned to Australia with a back injury and has been replaced by Usman Khawaja, while 18-year-old paceman Pat Cummins will make his test debut in place of seamer Ryan Harris, who has a number of minor injuries
