England will select their side for next week’s third Test against South Africa at the Oval from an unchanged 14-man squad. The head coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes could stick with the same XI after England thrashed South Africa by an innings and 85 runs at Old Trafford to level the three-Test series 1-1.

England seamers Jimmy Anderson and Ollie Robinson will both be hoping to lead the attack after taking South Africa’s last five wickets for just seven runs in the space of 30 deliveries in the second Test.

Harry Brook, Craig Overton and Matthew Potts are the options for Stokes and McCullum outside of the XI who played at Old Trafford.
