Sachin Tendulkar [Images] equalled former Pakistan all rounder Wasim Akram's world record for most one-day international appearances on Saturday, in the second one-day international against South Africa [Images] in Bangalore.

Tendulkar, 32, is playing in his 356th match. He already holds the records for most one-day runs (13,875) and hundreds (38).

India captain Rahul Dravid [Images] won the toss and chose to bowl first against South Africa, who are 1-0 up in the five-match series after their five-wicket victory in the opening match in Hyderabad on Wednesday.

South Africa omitted paceman Charl Langeveldt, who failed a fitness test after suffering a back strain in Hyderabad.

He was replaced by all rounder Andrew Hall [Images].
