In the second semi-final at Edgbaston, which sees England face Australia after Aaron Finch’s side lost top spot following defeat against South Africa, Sri Lanka’s Kumar Dharmasena and South African Marais Erasmus will be the men in the middle.

The third umpire for that game will be New Zealander Chris Gaffaney, with Aleem Dar the match’s fourth official.
