After South Africa romped home to victory in the first Test by an innings and 12 runs, this will be the all-important decider between the two teams.

“To come back from last week’s disappointment at Lord’s to put in the performance we have this week, it obviously gives us a lot of confidence back and sets the series up nicely for the last game at the Oval,” said Stokes.
“We completely forgot about that performance [at Lord’s]. The way we batted, bowled and fielded in this game was the benchmark of the standards we set.”
