This is the same squad that clinced a 2-0 Test series win against New Zealand recently.
There are still a few tickets available for this match, which is sure to be an exciting contest.
England have won four of their last six Test matches.
The talented South Africa team will be bristling, the last time these teams met was 2005. England completed a 2-1 Series win on South African soil - score the Proteas will be keen to settle.
