The five-match one-day series between India and South Africa starts in Kanpur today. The hosts, led by MS Dhoni, are looking for a fresh start after losing the recently concluded Twenty20 series. Meanwhile, South Africa will be out to extend their dominance into the 50-over format as well. Their bowling attack has been boosted with the return of fast bowlers Morne Morkel and Dale Steyn, who were rested for the T20's.
