Cape Town - The Proteas have made four changes to their starting XI for the series-deciding third Test against England at the Oval on Thursday.

England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and inserted the Proteas.

Ryan Rickleton replaces the injured Rassie van der Dussen, while Khaya Zondo also comes in for the dropped Aiden Markram.

All-rounder Wiaan Mulder, who was a late addition to the squad for Van der Dussen, is in for Simon Harmer and Marco Jansen returns for Lungi Ngidi, who sits out as a precautionary measure due to a mild hamstring muscle injury.

England have one enforced change to the side who levelled the series at Old Trafford with Harry Brook coming for the injured Jonny Bairstow.

South Africa: Dean Elgar(c), Sarel Erwee, Keegan Petersen, Ryan Rickelton, Khaya Zondo, Kyle Verreynne(w), Wiaan Mulder, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje

England: Alex Lees, Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes(c), Ben Foakes(w), Stuart Broad, Ollie Robinson, Jack Leach, James Anderson.
