England's only change has Harry Brook in for Jonny Bairstow, who injured his leg last week in what he described as a “freak accident” while playing golf.
South Africa made four changes, with the injured Rassie van der Dussen and Lungi Ngidi replaced by Ryan Rickelton and Khaya Zonzo. Marco Jansen returned in place of Simon Harmer and Wiann Mulder came in after Aiden Markram dropped out.
The series is tied at 1-1 after England won the second test in Manchester two weeks ago.
