Ben Foakes returns to the England team after missing the India game and will keep wickets for the hosts. Alex Lees and Zak Crawley open the innings with the familar faces of Ollie Pope and Joe Root in the middle order. Jonny Bairstow has flourished in his new role and Ben Stokes also remain an integral part of the team, contributing with key runs coming lower down the order. In the bowling unit, the veteran duo of James Anderson and Stuart Broad will once again have the charge.

South Africa have just Keshav Maharaj, Dean Elgar and Kagiso Rabada as players who have experience of playing tests in England which is not ideal for them. Rassie Van de Dussen and Aiden Markram will have to rise up to the challenge in the middle order. Dean Elgar, if he is able to survive the new ball, is known for playing long innings. Kagiso Rabada can be a potent force and England will do well to keep him quiet.
