We are backing South Africa, who start as favourites with a 57% win chance.
South Africa come in with the better form, having won two of their last three games, while England have won two of their last five. They also have the upper hand over England, winning 37 of the 67 meetings between the two sides that produced a result.
We expect a first-innings score of around 275, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.
