The top-order batsman will replace all-rounder Jacques Kallis who has been ruled out due to a fractured rib, Cricket South Africa said in a statement.

Gibbs, 35, who has scored 8060 runs in his 245 ODIs, last played a limited overs match for his country when he turned out against England during the Champions Trophy in September this year.

England lead the five-match series 1-0 after beating the hosts by seven wickets in Centurion on Sunday. The first game of the series was abandoned because of rain. The third match is in Cape Town on Friday.
