Meanwhile, South Africa captain and batsman Faf du Plessis feels side his will be rejuvenated in the Third Test match in PE.
“It’s important, for us and England. These two Tests were very close to each other, so you do feel it. Test cricket is not easy - your head is engaged, your brain is active all the time," Du Plessis said.
'So, 10 days of rock-hard Test cricket, you do need a few days off, just to make sure that you get that energy back.
“Over the next two or three days, we will just get away from each other a little bit, and fill the tanks with petrol again," he added.
"Then go to PE and begin training, and look at the balance of the team - what would work the best there. And make sure that we work on the areas of the game where we are not yet where we should be.”
