A new day, a new dawn
Fast bowlers Steve Harmison and Stuart Broad have been recalled to the England side for the final Test against South Africa at The Oval, starting on Thursday.
Ryan Sidebottom and Ravi Bopara have been left out as England seek to restore pride in Kevin Pietersen’s first match as Test captain.
England will bank on five batsmen with Ian Bell replacing former skipper Michael Vaughan at number three while Andrew Flintoff will bat at six and wicketkeeper Tim Ambrose at seven.
Pietersen, named captain on Monday following Vaughan’s resignation after the series was lost on Saturday, is confident his side can bounce back from the disappointment of their five-wicket defeat at Edgbaston.
Come on KP - start as you mean to carry on. Let’s show the South Africans what we’re made of!
