The Verdict
South Africa still have work to do to secure direct qualification for the next World Cup in this format so this is far from a dead rubber. England's bowling has been pretty poor and I see scope for plenty of runs.
We have seen centuries in both earlier matches but my preference is in the player to score a 50 market where Harry Brook and Heinrich Klaasen are my plays.
