England booked their place in the ICC Champions Trophy final by demolishing an outclassed South Africa at The Oval. James Anderson did the early damage, with James Tredwell and then Stuart Broad taking over as South Africa were bowled out for 175.

Jonathan Trott then led England's successful run chase and finished unbeaten on 82 as they won with 75 balls to spare.

Sri Lanka Reach Semis By Beating Australia

Sri Lanka produced an efficient performance to beat Australia by 20 runs and book themselves an ICC Champions Trophy 2013 semi-final against India.

Australia A Overcome Spirited Irish Challenge

Australia A overcame a spirited and resilient Ireland side as well as the rain to record a comfortable 93-run victory on the final day of their first-class match in Belfast, making it two from two on their tour of the British Isles.

Nathan Lyon, who is currently the only spinner in Australia's 16-man Ashes squad, took three wickets during an impressive spell to seal victory after the start of play was delayed due to a wet outfield at Stormont.

South Africa Take Calm Approach To Semi-Final

South Africa qualified for the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 following a dramatic tie against West Indies in Cardiff and they are now 'minding their own business' as they prepare for their semi-final.

Fast bowler Lonwabo Tsotsobe, who has taken four wickets in the tournament so far, says that the squad are doing their best to approach the match at The Oval as any other game.

'We'd Beat Australia If We Played Them On Mars'

Sir Ian Botham believes that Alastair Cook's England side are easily good enough to beat Australia in the upcoming Ashes Tests, both home and away. Indeed, so confident is the hero of the famous 1981 series that he says that a 5-0 whitewash should not be out of the question and he jokes that even if the games were played on Mars, England would still win.
