England men have named an unchanged squad for the LV= Insurance third Test versus South Africa at the Kia Oval starting on Thursday 8 September.
Ollie Robinson retains his place after taking five wickets, with Zak Crawley still favoured to open up the batting after an improved 38 runs in England's first and only innings.
After South Africa romped home to victory in the first Test by an innings and 12 runs, this will be the all-important decider between the two teams.
The unchanged squad comes as no surprise, with captain Stokes praising the clinical display his squad put on in the second Test.
"To come back from last week's disappointment at Lord's to put in the performance we have this week, it obviously gives us a lot of confidence back and sets the series up nicely for the last game at the Oval," said Stokes.
"We completely forgot about that performance [at Lord's]. The way we batted, bowled and fielded in this game was the benchmark of the standards we set."
