South Africa, on the other hand, have shown their ability in the 50-over format and will fancy their chances of a win.

Pitch Report

A good batting track is expected at Headingley with there being little help on offer for the bowlers. Although there should be some swing early on, the batters will go on the attack, with the ball skidding nicely onto the bat. As the match progresses, the spinners will come into play with variations in pace being key. Both teams will look to bat first, with the pitch not likely to change much. 270-280 should be a good total, but both teams are capable of going beyond the 300-run mark.

Today’s ENG vs SA Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Jonny Bairstow: Jonny Bairstow has blown hot and cold in the series, but remains a wonderful asset for the hosts in white-ball formats. His ability to tee off from ball one in the powerplay phase holds him in good stead. Given his record at his home ground in Leeds, Bairstow is a must-have in your ENG vs SA Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Rassie van der Dussen: Rassie van der Dussen was the star of the show in South Africa's win in the first ODI. However, the experienced batter couldn't replicate the same form in the previous game. He is a good player of both pace and spin and given his record in English conditions, he is one to watch out for in this game.

All-rounder

Moeen Ali: Moeen Ali has seemingly got the nod for a middle-order spot after Morgan and Stokes' retirement in the ODI format. He is a clean striker of the ball, with his ability against spin being noteworthy. With Moeen adding value with his off-spin too, he should have a good outing today.

Bowler

Anrich Nortje: Anrich Nortje has been South Africa's best bowler in the series, picking up six wickets in two matches. He has been effective in both the powerplay and death overs, using his pace to good effect. With the conditions bound to serve him well, Nortje should be a fine addition to your ENG vs SA Dream11 fantasy team.
