With the series tied at 1-1, both England and South Africa have everything to play for when they lock horns with each other on July 24 (Sunday) at Headingley in Leeds. The hosts came back roaring at Old Trafford to level the series at 1-1 with a resounding 118-run victory in a rain-reduced encounter.
England bowled out South Africa for 83 while defending 201 to level series and get their mojo back. Contributions from lower-order helped them to post a challenging total before a combined effort from the bowlers helped them pull of a thumping victory. Jos Buttler and Co. will hope to keep the momentum going and win the series after a defeat against India.
South Africa, on the other hand, have received a massive jolt in their confidence after being bowled out for 83 runs. The Proteas will have to regroup themselves and come out of the defeat and play their best game to upstage a confident England side.
