English seamer, Stuart Broad, is set to play in tomorrow’s important fourth One-Day International against South Africa at the Wanderers.

The visitors will be looking to wrap up the five-match series after a 39-run win in Bloemfontein and a five-wicket victory in Port Elizabeth.

The Proteas saved the series on Tuesday with 7 wicket drubbing of England in Pretoria.

The 29-year-old Broad has not played for the one-day team since England's disappointing effort at the World Cup last year and yesterday was excluded from the squad for the upcoming World Twenty20.

Proteas wicketkeeper, Quinton de Kock, who scored 138 not out at the Mangaung Oval and 135 at SuperSport Park, says frustrating the English bowling attack is key scoring runs.

“It was actually Adil Rashid that we were more aware of, he is just full of tricks.

“Moeen (Ali) is very solid, keep it simple against him and only play big shots against him if needed.

“Ben Stokes, ja, he’s a good bowler, he runs in and he’s not short of a word either. I guess he has a bit of the x-factor.

“But you must put your head down and get on with it. The grumpier they get, the better for us – happy days.”

Friday's pink ODI at the Bullring is scheduled to get underway at 13:30.
