ICC Champions Trophy semi-finals: Top five players to look out for when England face South Africa

2. Jonathan Trott

If South Africa have Hashim Amla, England have Jonathan Trott in their top order. The batsman has already amassed a few runs in this tournament with a quality innings of 76 against Sri Lanka. The English top order has been doing the job for the team in this competition. They have been able to anchor the innings for their lower order, which boasts of significant firepower now with Eoin Morgan, Bopara and Jos Butler. If Trott can play that anchor role for England, they are likely to put up a big score on board and that will be difficult for South Africa to chase given England’s potent bowling line-up.
