    "This England set-up really treasure the prospect of winning this series. To win against South Africa, especially at the Wanderers, would be a huge achievement."

    Before we all celebrate Jordan being dropped for Woakes, lets look at the stats. Jordan 27 games 40 wickets @ 33.45, Woakes 41 games 55 wickets @ 34.27. Both with economies around 6 per over, but one is a much better fielder.

    I don't think we should really be playing Broad or involving him in the white ball game. This is because I feel he is too important in test cricket and should be rested so he can produce spells like he did against SA and AUS. However if he gets wickets today, I could change my mind about him being rested for white ball cricket. Glad Woakes is playing. May bring a bit more control than Jordan and at times Willey did. Should be a cracker today!!

    It should be quite a spectacle today. The Bullring is decked in pink as part of a link-up with a breast cancer awareness charity. South Africa will be wearing pink too. I think I'm right in saying that the last time the Proteas wore pink, AB de Villiers struck the fastest ODI hundred of all time.

    What to make of all that? Are you happy to see Stuart Broad back in the England XI? Is he the man to stop Quinton de Kock? England to complete a series victory today, or South Africa to force a decider?

    England captain Eoin Morgan: "It looks a good surface so we're looking forward to batting first. This is a good time to get Stuart Broad back into white cricket because of the experience he offers to the side. 

    "Our bowling unit is trying to be as aggressive as we can because wickets can turn the match and we want to keep that mindset throughout the innings."

    South Africa captain AB de Villiers: "The wicket might be a bit sticky and hopefully we can put pressure on England with a few early wickets. We love chasing here when the ball flies around a bit. We have some great memories of playing in pink and hopefully the crowd here in the Bullring will get right behind us."

    South Africa, by the way, make one change from their victory in the third ODI. Morne Morkel makes way for Chris Morris, adding some depth to the batting.

    South Africa like to chase, especially on this ground. AB de Villiers, who thinks the deck is a bit "sticky" wins the flick after Eoin Morgan calls incorrectly. Morgan says he would have batted anyway.

    England make two changes. Stuart Broad plays his first ODI since the World Cup, coming in alongside Chris Woakes. Chris Jordan and David Willey sit out.

    We're at the Wanderers, Johannesburg - the Bullring where the boundaries are short, the ball flies miles in the air and where South Africa once chased 434 to beat Australia.

    Runs today?

    It's nearly time for the toss...

    OK, that opening gambit was pretty tenuous, so I'll stick to the cricket.

    England are 2-1 up with two to play - the better side in the first two matches, humbled in the third.

    Their main obstacle to wrapping up the series? Quinton de Kock.

    If he keeps batting the way he is, we'll have to start calling him De Knock.

    Friday, the perfect day for a fourth one-day international.

    Just ask Joey Tribbiani.

    "Monday, one-day. Tuesday, two-day. Wednesday, what day? Thursday - the third day."

    In that case, Friday's the fourth day and ideal for South Africa v England Part IV.
