CAPE TOWN (AFP) - South Africa won the toss and sent England in to bat in the fifth and final one-day international at Newlands on Sunday.

The pitch was under covers until shortly before the toss because of light rain. South African captain AB de Villiers said he hoped there would be some early assistance for his bowlers.

With the series locked at 2-2, South Africa brought in batsman Rilee Rossouw for JP Duminy in the only change in either side following South Africa s one-wicket win in the fourth match in Johannesburg on Friday.
