And almost instantly, the hovercraft is asked to leave the field and the players will come back on.

England (Playing XI) - Jason Roy, Jos Buttler (C/WK), Dawid Malan, Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley, David Willey (In for Richard Gleeson).

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of England. They have opted to BOWL first.

For South Africa though, their new looking top-order has looked dangerous and they need to find the right combinations with the T20 World Cup right around the corner. Will they be able to fit in Aiden Markram and Rassie van der Dussen in this series decider? It looks unlikely with the form their side has been in. The Proteas though have never won a T20I series In England. There is a lot at stake for both the side. Stay tuned for toss and more updates.

Hello and a warm welcome to the third T20I match between England and South Africa. We have seen some outstanding matches throughout this series, but this time around there is a lot on stake as this is the decider with the series level at 1-1. Don't expect nothing less than a thriller.
