FAISALABAD, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat against South Africa in the second one-day international on Thursday.

South Africa has lost every toss — seven — on the tour of Pakistan. The test series was drawn 1-1 and the Twenty20 series lost 2-1. Pakistan can also clinch the ODI series on Thursday.

Pakistan made two changes after chasing down 264 in the first ODI on Tuesday. Allrounder Faheem Ashraf replaced struggling middle-order batter Hasan Nawaz and fast bowler Mohammad Wasim replaced leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed.
