PictureTom Prest, watchful against South Africa.
Hampshire's Tom Prest was content to play a relative support role as England thrashed South Africa by six wickets with 112 balls to spare in Antigua and gain a place in next week's ICC Under-19 World Cup final.
The Canford prodigy, who had made scores of 93 and 154* in the qualifying rounds against Canada and the UAE, initially took a smart low-down slip catch and later held on to another chance in the outfield before SA fell to 209 all out.  His seven overs of off-spin went without reward.    
Warwickshire's Jacob Bethell smashed 88 off 42 balls (two sixes and 16 fours) as England romped home.  Prest hit 24 and, ahead of Tuesday afternoon's semi-final clash with Afghanistan, will be swatting up leading his team into full verse with the National Anthem ... 
The U19 CWC semi-final is bring screened live on Sky Sports Main Event and Cricket channels from 12.30pm.  Play begins at 1300 hours GMT.
