Narrative:
Flying arrival; we were given a heading which we determined to be a vector to final. As pilot flying; I disengaged the autopilot as we felt this would put us high on profile. We were given a heading and a frequency change to director. Upon initial call; call sign only there was no response. Second call was responded with go ahead. Our response was our call sign and we are with you. The response was that they were tower frequency and to contact director. Once on the correct frequency; we were given a heading to intercept and a runway change. I briefed the new minimums and set them. Still feeling I was high; I asked for flaps. I armed the approach; verified the fmas and intercepted final. Soon after we were asked if we could 'slide over'. I was a little confused as I was distracted by my rustiness of flying skills. (Instructor). I assumed they wanted us to side step to the original runway. Once we clarified; we realized we had not changed the approach in the FMC and had intercepted [runway] xxl. We were vectored to the correct approach and flew uneventfully.pilot monitoring was not fully awake and felt task saturated. Relief pilot was extremely tired and was distracted in the jeppesen app with runway change to get a runway exit plan. Pilot flying was task-saturated with simply trying to practice hand flying. Use of the HUD was a distraction as I had to come in and out of it to get lateral and vertical sa. It's fine on the final segment but gives very little sa being vectored. Lack of flying frequency for both pilot flying and pilot monitoring.
