London: England pacer Jofra Archer is expected to play the third Test against South Africa at Port Elizabeth, after scans on his right elbow showed no serious damage.

England have also got a boost as pacer Mark Wood is likely to be available for the third Test. The pacer has not played a Test since the final match against West Indies in February last year. Wood had sustained a side strain in the World Cup final against New Zealand. England’s opening batsman Rory Burns has been ruled out of the entire series after sustaining an injury during a football-session before the second Test. The visitors had lost the first Test against South Africa by 107 runs at Centurion.
