Fast bowler James Anderson is set to return to the England side for the second test starting in Cape Town on Saturday, boosting their chances of a repeat win as South Africa declared their front-line bowler Dale Steyn doubtful.
England's record wicket taker continued his recovery from a calf strain by bowling six overs in the nets on Wednesday as England clinched the first test at Kingsmead by a massive 241 runs, to add to a practice session he had on Tuesday.
But Steyn, who broke down on Monday with a shoulder injury, is far from certain to be fit for South Africa, who struggled without his pace and aggression in the first test.
The Cricket South Africa national selectors have added The Unlimited Titans duo of Quinton de Kock and Chris Morris to the Proteas squad for the Newlands test.
