Proteas vs England 3rd test preview

The last test of the 3-match series between the Proteas and England starts tomorrow. The series is squared at 1-1 and sets this match up nicely as a result for either team would mean a series win and in the bigger picture a boost in the world test championship standings.

Rassie Van der Dussan and Jonny Bairstow have been ruled out of this test and world T20, both are crucial to their respective teams, and this will be a massive setback for Proteas and England as both are mainstays across the three formats of the game. The replacements for both players are just as suitable so hopefully, their absence won't be felt.

England have brought Harry Brook into the side for the final test in Bairstow's place as the only change from the previous test. England will want to continue from where they left off in the last test. They will hope their top order will contribute to putting runs on the board as they have struggled, especially the two openers who have struggled throughout the summer.

Proteas captain has confirmed that Ryan Rickelton will play tomorrow as he will replace Van der Dussan and the rest of the team is yet to be confirmed. I do see Proteas making two more changes in Jansen coming in place of Harmer and Mulder/Zondo in place of Markram. Proteas could be tempted to place an extra all-rounder in place of one of their bowlers due to their weak batting lineup and that is something that needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

I wish both teams the best of luck and hope to see so good cricket played and the best team over the next 5 days win.
