The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have once again revealed their playing 11 on the eve of the upcoming 3rd Test match against South Africa starting from Thursday. The biggest news is that right-handed batsman Harry Brook will be making his Test debut in place of injured Jonny Bairstow. The 23-year-old has already notched up more than 3000 runs in first-class cricket at a fine average of 36.08 that includes as many as 17 half-centuries and 7 hundreds. The rest of the English team is the same one that defeated South Africa in Manchester and this also means that Zak Crawley will have one more opportunity to prove his worth in this Test team.
