England will be looking to clinch their first series victory under Jos Buttler's captaincy when they face South Africa at Headingley on Sunday.
With the ODI series level at one apiece, the visitors will be aiming to win their first-ever bilateral 50-over series in England.

After losing the first game of the series by 62 runs, England knew that they had to win at Old Trafford to set up a series decider on Sunday.
Following a delayed start due to rain, the second ODI was reduced to 29 overs aside, with South Africa electing to field.
England would have felt that they left runs on the table at the halfway mark after being bowled out for 201 with five balls to spare.
However, any concerns over their total proved to be unfounded as the hosts skittled South Africa out for 83 within 21 overs, with all five bowlers picking up at least one wicket.
After losing both white-ball series to India, Buttler now has the chance to claim his first series victory as England captain with a win in the final ODI.
With six of their last seven ODIs at Headingley resulting in victory, England will be confident that they can emerge victorious on Sunday.

South Africa, meanwhile, will be looking for a response after suffering a disappointing 118-run defeat in the second ODI on Friday.
Although they performed well in the field, with Dwaine Pretorious starring with the ball, South Africa's batting display left a lot to be desired.
Heinrich Klaasen was the only South African player to finish with more than 30 runs, while eight batsmen failed to reach double digits, including four ducks.
Despite scoring their second-worst ever ODI total on Friday, the visitors can at least draw confidence from the 333-run total that they set in the first ODI, which set them on their way to victory.
South Africa will enter the series decided looking to avoid consecutive ODI series defeats after losing to Bangladesh in March.
A win on Sunday would also help the visitors clinch their first-ever bilateral series win away to England, which would be a feather in the cap for interim captain Keshav Maharaj.

Phil Salt came into the side to replace Ben Stokes who retired from ODI cricket after the first match of the series, and the Lancashire batsman is expected to keep his place in the lineup for Sunday's contest.
With 91 runs to his name, Jonny Bairstow is England's current leading run-scorer of the series, and the 32-year-old will have the chance to add to his tally when he opens the batting alongside Jason Roy.
Brydon Carse missed the second ODI due to a bruised toe and the fast bowler has also been ruled out of the game at Headingley.
After clinching a comfortable victory on Friday, the hosts could be tempted to name an unchanged side for the series decider.

As for South Africa, they are once again without Andile Phehlukwayo who sustained a concussion in the first ODI at Chester-le-Street.
Pretorius was Phehlukwayo's replacement for the second match, and he will keep his place in the side after taking four wickets.
Despite failing to trouble the scorers, Rassie van der Dussen is the leading run scorer in the series thanks to his 134 in the first game, and just one run on Sunday would see the South African bring up 1,500 runs in ODI cricket.
Although they lost the second match of the series, South Africa could follow England by naming an unchanged lineup for Sunday's decider.
England squad: Jos Buttler (Captain, wk), Moeen Ali, Jonathan Bairstow, Brydon Carse, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Craig Overton, Matthew Potts, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Phil Salt, Reece Topley, David Willey.
India squad: Keshav Maharaj (Captain), Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, Janneman Malan, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Andile Phelukwayo, Dwaine Pretorius, Anrich Nortje, Tabraiz Shamsi, Rassie van der Dussen, Lizaad Williams, Khaya Zondo, Kyle Verreynne.
Series so far
First ODI: South Africa won by 62 runs
South Africa 333-5 (50 overs)
England 271 all out (46.5 overs)
Second ODI: England won by 118 runs
England 201 all out (28.1 overs)
South Africa 83 all out (20.4 overs)
We say: England win
After losing 2-1 in both white-ball series against India, England will be concerned about repeating that scoreline, but we think the hosts will use the confidence taken from Friday's win to claim their first series victory under Buttler's captaincy.
