JONATHAN Trott goes ‘home’ to Newlands on Friday confident he can hold back the tears and keep his eyes on the ball against his native country.

Trott marked only his second one-day international appearance with 87 runs and shared a stand of 162 with skipper Paul Collingwood in Pretoria on Sunday as England cruised 1-0 up against South Africa with three matches to play.

The 28-year-old said: “I’m going to have to put the emotions of coming back here to one side, to make sure they don’t play any role in the decisions I make on the field.

“Whenever I was playing county cricket and trying to become the best player I can be and hope to crack on to international cricket, you want to play at Lord’s and the SCG.

“Then I always wanted to come and play back at Newlands and be part of a winning England side.”
