LONDON (Reuters) - Hosts England sauntered into the Champions Trophy final after South Africa ‘choked’ in yet another semi-final when they were bowled out for 175 in fairly benign conditions at The Oval on Wednesday. England, who came into cricket’s second 50-over tournament having lost a home one-day series to New Zealand, scored 179 for three to knock off the required runs in 37.3 overs and win by seven wickets with Jonathan Trott notching 82 not out. David Miller top scored for pre-tournament favourites South Africa with 56 not out as the Proteas lasted only 38.4 overs. Scores: South Africa 175 all out (D. Miller 56 not out; J.Tredwell 3-19) and England 179-3 from 37.3 overs (J.Trott 82 not out)
