Hosts South Africa will face off against a powerful England in the fourth One-Day International (ODI) at Johannesburg on Friday. England are currently leading the series 2-1, but South Africa have momentum on their side having won the third ODI convincingly. Joe Root’s superb century was negated by excellent tons from Quinton de Kock and Hashim Amla, as the hosts chased down a huge total with ridiculous ease. Despite that, England will feel confident of taking the series at Johannesburg. Eoin Morgan has led the side well, while Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Jos Buttler, and Root have led the batting front.

For South Africa it has been de Kock and Amla who have done the bulk of the scoring. Skipper AB de Villiers has been in poor form, having failed to get going in any of the first three ODIs. Faf du Plessis has scored one half-century, but their usual lower-order power player David Miller has not even been including in the side yet. In his place Rilee Rossouw has been moderately successful.
