Jacques Kallis has taken over the captaincy of the Proteas in the absence of Graeme Smith who is suffering from a finger injury.
Kallis called correctly at the toss this morning in Japir and has sent the Indians in to bat in the first one-day game. Herschelle Gibbs will open the batting with Alviro Petersen when the Proteas do bat.
Wicketkeeper Mark Boucher has passed a fitness test and is back behind the wickets.
Things began well for South Africa today when one of the best batsmen in the world Sachin Tendulkar was run out by Hershelle Gibbs who is considered to be one of the best fielders.
However, the Indians kept the score going along nicely at between five and six an over and after 16 overs had scored 96 for the loss of two wickets with danger man Virender Sehwag also being run out.
After 38 overs India is on 211 for 5.
