We've made just one change. We've gone with just one spinner. Dwaine (Pretorius) comes in for Shamsi. Very important that we keep our standard. We don't want to drop our intensity because of the series result, we want to keep pushing our standard higher and higher. We always want to play our best team. It (different venue) will present a different challenge, we have to be clinical upfront. Anything above 300 is competitive.

Looks like a nice wicket, a bit sticky I think. We'll try to get some wickets up early. We value each game, we want to go out there and put up a performance. The boys are motivated themselves, my job is pretty easy. The energy has been great, you can't fault the passion of the boys. One more opportunity for us, a different venue, we have won the toss so hopefully we can start well with the ball and then go on to get the runs. We have forgotten what has happened in the first two games. We have some plans. There are a few things we need to fix. Four changes. Suryakumar Yadav, Jayany Yadav, Prasaidh Krishna and one more guy (Deepak Chahar) come in. Ashwin, Shardul, Venkatesh Iyer and Bhuvi miss out.

India may look to test their bench strength

12:00 (IST) Jan 23

In all, massive improvement required in order to be competitive.

11:59 (IST) Jan 23

England became a solid ODI outfit by scoring consistently in the middle overs and this young South African team has also followed that template in the series which is missing in Indian game.

11:59 (IST) Jan 23

The two Iyers -- Shreyas in batting and Venkatesh as an all-rounder haven't yet set the stage on fire and the main problem has been their inability to force the pace in the middle overs.

11:59 (IST) Jan 23

Rahul would do well to imbibe some of it from his former captain.

11:59 (IST) Jan 23

He is doing his routines without getting too involved. While it is fair that he wants Rahul to grow into the job somewhere the infectious energy that he brings into the field and which normally rubs off on other younger players has been missing in the two games.

11:59 (IST) Jan 23

Virat Kohli may have scored 51 in the first game but what is visible is his lack of energy on the field having been sacked from ODI captaincy.

11:59 (IST) Jan 23

There hasn't been any tactical improvisations in the two games so far which would inspire confidence in his leadership abilities.
