England approach must-win territory as they take on an aggressive South African team in Mumbai.
Three matches, one win and two losses means England can only afford one more defeat in their remaining six group games if they wish to reach the semi-finals.
Technically, you can reach the next stage with five wins and four losses, but it’s really not a position you want to be in.
Ben Stokes looks set to return to the England XI in place of Harry Brook, while England will have a decision to make as to whether they back opening bowler Chris Woakes to keep his place after three sub-par performances with the new ball.

England v South Africa key player to watch
Ben Stokes (England)
Back from injury and expected to be straight back in the team, Stokes and his peers have stressed that this isn’t Superman coming back to save the day.
Nevertheless, England are in strife and need their best player to perform a miracle or two more to take them to the semi-finals. Held together by several metres of physio tape, Stokes will play as a specialist batter.
