The build-up to this match, Strauss's 100th Test, was dominated by England's controversial decision to axe star batsman Kevin Pietersen.
England dropped the South Africa born shotmaker, despite a superb 149 in the second Test, after it was revealed he'd sent "provocative" texts to Proteas players, allegedly including criticisms of Strauss.
Pietersen's place was taken by Jonathan Bairstow, who impressed with innings of 95 and 54.
"I don't think anything is going to be happening straight away," Strauss said of the chance of 'showdown' talks with Pietersen.
"I said before the match, the issues that need to be resolved will take a while to be resolved and we'll be looking to do that away from the public eye as much as possible in the coming weeks."
