England and South Africa will lock horns in a three-match One-Day International series, starting at Headingley in Leeds on Tuesday.
The Harry Brook-led English side defeated West Indies 3-0 at home in its last ODI assignment in June, while the Proteas are coming off a morale-boosting 2-1 win over Australia in the format. With both sides in form, the series promises to be an exciting affair.
Fast bowler Sonny Baker is set to make his ODI debut for England in the series opener and will join a pace attack that comprises Jofra Archer and Brydon Carse. Meanwhile, South Africa will miss the services of pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada, leaving an in-form Lungi Ngidi to do the heavylifting.
