England and South Africa meet for the deciding Test of their compelling three-match series at the Oval this week.
The Proteas comprehensively won the first Test at Lord’s, inflicting a first defeat on the new regime of England head coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes.
But England responded with a dominant victory of their own at Old Trafford to square the series.
England have lost Jonny Bairstow through a freak golf injury, which opens a spot for Harry Brook to come into the batting line-up.
