The first Test was won by Dean Elgar's side by an innings and 12 runs. England, on the other hand, won the second Test by an innings.
England will be missing their most important piece of the Bazball puzzle, Jonny Bairstow, who has been ruled out of the third Test, the forthcoming series against Pakistan, and the T20 World Cup 2022 due to a fluke injury, but they have the most promising young hitter in English cricket across formats in Harry Brook, who will make his debut on Thursday.
Proteas are expected to bring in Ryan Rickelton in place of van der Dussen. Furthermore, because the pitch is supporting the pacers, Simon Harmer can make way for Marco Jansen.

South Africa: Dean Elgar (c), Sarel Erwee, Keegan Petersen, Aiden Markram, Khaya Zondo/Ryan Rickelton, Kyle Verreynne (wk), Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada
