Stuart Broad is in contention for a return to the side for England's third ODI against South Africa at Newlands on Friday.

 

Broad has been sidelined with a shoulder injury since tumbling awkwardly in the field in England's opening warm-up game of the tour and missed the Twenty20 series, the washed-out opener to the one-day international series, and England's victory in the second ODI at Centurion.

 

However, he took a full part in England's training at Cape Town on Wednesday, and a team spokesman confirmed that he is fit and available for selection on Friday.

 

"I feel good," Broad told reporters at Newlands. "It's been a tricky couple of weeks getting my shoulder right but I feel back to full fitness and excited if selected for Friday.

 

"We have a bit of momentum against the South Africans but it's important we kick on from here. There's only three one-dayers left in the series so this weekend is going to be a huge one for us."
