India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni today said the team is waiting for middle order mainstay VVS Laxman's fitness report before deciding who will bat at number three in the first Test against South Africa starting here tomorrow.

"We have 15 or 16 players. There's some uncertainty over Laxman who was in the nets today. He will come back and share with physio how he feels. Other than that all others are fit," Dhoni told reporters during the match-eve media conference at the new VCA Stadium in Jamtha.
