Cricket's second biggest 50-over event, the biennial Champions Trophy, begins in South Africa on Tuesday, as the sport's top eight teams vie for glory.
The tournament was to have been held in Pakistan last year but was postponed and moved because of security concerns.
Two teams from two groups of four will form the semi-finals, with the final to be staged in Centurion on 5 October.
England face South Africa, New Zealand and Sri Lanka but are without star men Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen.
Group A consists of holders Australia, India, Pakistan and the West Indies.
