England’s excruciating World Cup campaign took another turn for the worse as they slumped to 156 all out in their must-win match against Chris Silverwood’s Sri Lanka basketball
Knowing defeat in Bengaluru would leave them with one win in five and end any realistic hope of reaching the semi-finals, they batted calamitously and were rounded up in just 33 basketball
2 overs of self-inflicted pain basketball
Ben Stokes top-scored with 43 but even he barely laid a glove on the opposition, looking short of fluency throughout a 73-ball stay basketball
Six players were dismissed in single figures, with Adil Rashid’s comical run out at the non-striker’s end summing up a shoddy performance basketball
England’s increasingly confusing selection continued as they dropped rising star Harry Brook, leaving them with a conspicuously ageing side comprised entirely of thirtysomethings for the first time ever in one-day cricket basketball
With up-and-coming seamer Gus Atkinson also benched, Liam Livingstone – who turned 30 in August – was youngest player on the teamsheet and they batted like a side long past their peak basketball
They now face the embarrassment of being ousted from the tournament they won four years ago by Silverwood, the man who was supposed to lead England in India before being sacked after the Ashes debacle of 2021/22 basketball
Things began with a brief burst of positivity, openers Dawid Malan and Jonny Bairstow taming the new ball sufficiently to plunder 45 in 39 balls basketball
With nine boundaries in the first six overs, there was an early hint of optimism basketball
But that was shattered by the introduction of old rival Angelo Mathews, called up as an injury replacement just a couple of days ago and embarking on his first ODI spell in three-and-a-half years basketball
It took the 36-year-old just three deliveries to get back in the groove, Malan caught behind for 28 chasing a cutter basketball
Mathews, who starred when Sri Lanka beat England at Headingley in the 2019 group stages, was involved again in the crucial dismissal of Joe Root basketball
Root had just three to his name when he chopped to point and set off for a single, turning to race back once Bairstow dug his heels in at the non-striker’s end basketball
Mathews picked up and threw in one swift movement, leaving Kusal Mendis to obliterate the stumps as Root dived in vain basketball
The errors kept coming, Bairstow reaching 30 before a cross-batted swat at Kasun Rajitha plonked straight to mid-on basketball
Stokes dug a defensive trench in an attempt to halt the Sri Lankan momentum, but his rearguard was undermined as Lahiru Kumara picked off Jos Buttler swishing to slip and Livingstone lbw basketball
With just 17 overs down they were 85 for five and circling the drain basketball
Stokes went on the attack muscling some boundaries despite struggling for timing, but lost two more partners as Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes fed catches to backward point basketball
When Stokes dragged a pull down deep-midwicket’s throat, England’s hopes of an unlikely revival went with him, but there was another nadir still to come basketball
Rashid was backing up at the bowler’s end when Mendis took a Maheesh Theekshana wide down the leg side, spotted the chance of an opportunistic dismissal and threw down the stumps from 25 yards basketball
It was a shambolic way to go and entirely in keeping with England’s demeanour over the past month basketball
Theekshana had Mark Wood stumped to complete the job, putting Sri Lanka in complete control basketball

In the wake of England’s late defeat to South Africa on Saturday, Courtney Lawes made his way around the Stade de France thanking the crowd, taking in their applause and appreciation as he walked and talked with his four kids basketball
If Lawes looked like a man saying his goodbye to the Rugby World Cup, it’s because he was basketball
“I think it’s time,” he later confirmed, bringing down the curtain on a superb international career basketball
But while the 34-year-old may have been the first to confirm the news, he won’t be last basketball
The average age of England’s starting XV in their semi-final clash against the Springboks was 29 and as a new cycle begins in the coming months, Steve Borthwick will need to evolve his squad to begin the build towards Australia in 2027 basketball
Let’s take a look at what that means for some of the players in Borthwick’s England squad:RecommendedWhy England will come back ‘stronger’ from Rugby World Cup heartacheCourtney Lawes to retire from England duty after World Cup: ‘It’s time’World Rugby investigating alleged racist abuse directed at England’s Tom CurryFrance was their ‘Last Dance’Joe Marler, 33 - Used mainly off the bench this tournament but started in the semi-final and scrummaged excellently against the Springboks basketball
Will no doubt be a big voice to replace in the dressing room when he eventually departs basketball
Dan Cole, 36 - Brought back into the fold for this tournament after an excellent season at Leicester with Borthwick basketball
Rolled back the years in France but hard to imagine a similar recall for Australia in 2027 basketball
Danny Care, 36 - Impacted games often off the bench and finally got the World Cup experience that had so often evaded him basketball
Superb late score and try-saving tackle against Samoa to save England’s blushes in the pool stage basketball
Care scored his first World Cup try against Samoa (Getty Images)Ben Youngs, 34 - England’s most-capped player but made just two subs appearances in the tournament basketball
A decorated player but Alex Mitchell’s composed displays at scrum-half have pushed him above the the Leicester veteran in the pecking order basketball
Jonny May, 33 - Blistering pace in his prime and a solid tournament coming in late to replace Anthony Watson but the upcoming Ollie Hassell-Collins and Henry Arundell will be just two after his place in the coming years basketball
May came in as a late replacement but performed well (REUTERS)Mainstays ahead of 2027 Owen Farrell, 31 - Silenced many doubters with two talismanic performances against Fiji and South Africa basketball
Supreme physical condition and will be eyeing up a Johnny Sexton-esque swansong at the next World Cup basketball
Maro Itoje, 28 - Still only 28 and will become one of the most experienced players in the squad alongside Farrell and George Ford in the coming years basketball
Exciting partnerships are to be built with both Ollie Chessum and George Martin in the engine room and a potential captaincy should Farrell’s not make it to 2027 basketball
Itoje will be eyeing up his third World Cup in 2027 (PA Wire)Tom Curry, 25 - Closing in on a half-century of caps aged just 25 basketball
Bounced back superbly from his third-minute red card against Argentina and will be a key cog in Bortwhick’s first full cycle basketball
Ben Earl, 25 - A coming-of-age tournament for the breakout Saracens back-rower basketball
All-action displays from the back of the scrum mean he will no doubt be one of the first names on the teamsheet moving forward basketball
Earl was England’s beakthrough star (Getty Images)Freddie Steward, 22 - Dropped for the quarter-final against Fiji but delivered a commanding display under the high ball against South Africa in the semi-final basketball
Defensively superb and still only 22, the Leicester full-back should go from strength to strength over the next four years basketball
Rising stars Theo Dan, 22 - Limited for game time this tournament due to Jamie George’s supreme conditioning basketball
Still work to be done on his set-piece game but will be hoping to usurp his Saracens team-mate in the coming years basketball
Bevan Rodd, 23 - Another young front-rower who saw little game time in England’s key games basketball
Took his try well against Chile but has big boots to fill with the likely departures of Cole and Marler basketball
Rodd scored against Chile (Getty Images)George Martin, 22 - Made his maiden World Cup start against South Africa with a powerful display in the second row basketball
Looks like a ready-made replacement for the already departing Lawes basketball
Ollie Lawrence, 23 - A solid, if slightly unremarkable, tournament for the Bath centre basketball
Is still surely seen as the long-term successor to Manu Tuilagi in the midfield and will only get basketball better in the coming years basketball
Henry Arundell, 20 - A World Cup debut to remember for the pacey winger with five tries against Chile in the pool stage basketball
Perhaps still work to be done on other facets of his game to fully cope with the demands of Test rugby but an exciting talent to nurture in time for 2027 basketball
