INDIA TEAM NEWS

Captain Virat Kohli has declared that Kedar Jadhav is back to full fitness and will likely fit into India's lower-middle order.

The other selection posers for India will be around whether to play their wrist-spinners together and who the third seamer position will go to.

The top order, meanwhile, looks settled, with KL Rahul the strongest contender for No 4.

Probable India line-up:

Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli (captain), KL Rahul, MS Dhoni (wicketkeeper), Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja/Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar/Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah

SA TEAM NEWS

The Proteas have only 13 fit players to choose from for Wednesday's must-win clash.

Dale Steyn and Lungi Ngidi are the two players unavailable - Steyn has been sent home while Ngidi is expected to miss two games.

With Steyn's replacement, Beuran Hendricks, only arriving in England on Monday morning, the logical selection is for Dwaine Pretorius to come back into the side for Ngidi.

That would see a pace attack of Kagiso Rabada, Chris Morris, Andile Phehlukwayo and Pretorius fielded.

The other option would be to field two spinners, with Tabraiz Shamsi joining Imran Tahir.

Probable SA line-up:

Quinton de Kock (wicketkeeper), Hashim Amla, Faf du Plessis (captain), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, David Miller, JP Duminy, Andile Phehlukwayo, Chris Morris, Kagiso Rabada, Imran Tahir
