London (June 23, 2017): England have won the toss and asked South Africa to bat first in second T20 in Taunton.
England crushed South Africa by nine wickets in the first match of the series in Southampton. The third and final game is on Sunday in Cardiff.
England have rotated their squad, with Mason Crane and Alex Hales left out of the team that played in the first match of the series. Sam Billings opens the batting in Hales’ place, while seamer Tom Curran and batting allrounder Liam Livingstone make their international debuts. With Mark Wood rested for the remainder of the series, England have also recalled Liam 
but there is no place for Craig Overton, the Somerset seamer, on his home ground. He is expected to make his debut on Sunday instead.
South Africa have recalled Morne Morkel, Chris Morris and Dane Paterson, with Imran Tahir, Wayne Parnell and Dwaine Pretorius missing out.
This is the first men’s international at this ground since the 1999 World Cup and the first involving England since 1983. It is a 12,500 sell-out, with Somerset claiming they could have sold it twice over.
Meanwhile, an England spokesman has confirmed that Stuart Broad will not be allowed to play in Nottinghamshire’s pink-ball Championship match against Kent next week after sustaining a recurrence of his left heel problem. Broad has returned to running and hopes to play in the Royal London Cup final, but a decision has yet to be made on that or his involvement in the first Investec Test against South Africa starting on July 6.
