The third Test between South Africa and England will begin at St George's Park in Port Elizabeth tomorrow. The four Tests series is tied at 1-1 right now. 

In the first Test in Centurion South Africa outplayed England and in the second Test in Cape Town England bounced back and leveled the series. This has been a hard-fought series so far and seeing both team's form the trend should continue in Port Elizabeth as well.

South Africa batsmen need to score big runs especially captain Faf du Plessis who has had a poor series so far and the likes of Rassie van der Dussesn, Dean Elgar and Pieter Malan need to convert their starts into big knocks. In the bowling Rabada, Nortje and Philander have done well so far.

On the other hand, England will hope that Sibley, Root, and Stokes will continue to score big runs and other batsmen too will come good. Though they will miss injured James Anderson Jofra Archer is fit and ready to play.
