Harry Brook has replaced injured Jonny Bairstow for the third Test, and it would be interesting to see how England approaches this contest. For South Africa, all-rounder Wiaan Mulder also returns to the side after a solid season in the County with Leicestershire. The first Test was won by South Africa inside three days, but England bounced back strongly in the second Test and they also won it inside three days with solid performances from Ben Stokes and Ben Foakes.
