PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa (Reuters) - England captain Joe Root says fast bowlers Jofra Archer and Mark Wood must still prove their fitness to be included in the side to play South Africa in the third test at St George's Park that starts on Thursday.

England are seeking a replacement for James Anderson, whose tour has ended after he picked up a rib injury in the 189-run second test victory in Cape Town.
