South Africa would like to make a comeback and win the final Test and draw the series. But for that they need their batsmen to lift their game as they suffered collapse in the first innings of the third Test and were never able to make a comeback. Ben Stokes scored a century for England while Moeen Ali took a hat-trick in the second innings in the England win.
