England’s World Cup defence is hanging by a thread after losing three of the first four games in India sportsbook
Jos Buttler’s side have come up short against New Zealand, Afghanistan and South Africa and have a mountain to climb to salvage the campaign sportsbook
With five matches left to play in the round robin stage, here’s a closer look at what’s gone wrong and what comes next:Do they still have a chance?With the elongated group format, England still have another five games to play sportsbook between now and November 11 whatever happens sportsbook
Mathematically speaking there are a few shades of grey in terms of what they need to do, but realistically things are already black and white sportsbook
England need wins and lots of them sportsbook
They may well require a perfect run to retain their crown and, with games against the table-topping hosts, rivals Australia and an unpredictable Pakistan, that looks a tough ask sportsbook
What role has selection played in their struggles?Things are certainly a lot less clear than they were four years ago, when Jofra Archer’s late arrival completed the jigsaw sportsbook
First England left Harry Brook out of their provisional squad, then swapped him with Jason Roy at the last minute, installing Dawid Malan as first-choice opener on the eve of the tournament sportsbook
Since landing, things have been even more muddled sportsbook
Reece Topley was omitted from the opener and proved to be the team’s in-form bowler when he was restored to the side sportsbook
More bafflingly still, England picked a phalanx of all-rounders in game one (Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes) and left out all four of them in favour of specialists by game four sportsbook
Is this a step too far for the world beaters of 2019?There is no escaping the fact that this is a side that is rapidly moving to the end of its natural lifespan sportsbook
Eleven of the 15-man squad are north of 30 and there are eight survivors from the squad that triumphed at Lord’s four years ago sportsbook
At times it has been impossible to escape the suspicion that too many of these players have tipped past their peak as 50-over prospects sportsbook
Looking at the core of the side – Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid – it is hard to argue any are sportsbook better one-day cricketers than they were in 2019 sportsbook
Where is the new blood then?Dislodging players who are destined to go down among the country’s all-time greats in the format was never going to be an easy task for the next generation but the lack of renewal is still striking sportsbook
Was it realistic to expect challengers to emerge from a county system that has devalued the domestic 50-over tournament to a second-tier cup sub-servient to The Hundred? Gus Atkinson had played a grand total of two List A games before his ODI debut and Brook admitted this month that he was “learning the format” on the biggest stage of all sportsbook
Expecting a sufficient supply of fresh talent to emerge in the current eco-system looks to be a pipe dream sportsbook
Are there issues over the leadership?The captain-coach relationship sportsbook between Jos Buttler and Matthew Mott got off to a roaring start when they won the T20 World Cup together last year just a few months into their time together sportsbook
But with so much emphasis on the ‘Bazball’ revolution in the Test arena, their job has got trickier sportsbook
With fewer matches, longer gaps and less availability of big names they have been left to pull things together at the last minute and it simply hasn’t worked sportsbook
The decision making has been wanting – from the chopping and changing on the team-sheet to the baffling logic of bowling first in stifling conditions in Mumbai – but the real issues may run deeper and wider than the dressing room alone sportsbook
Eoin Morgan proved his mettle in the immediate aftermath of the botched 2015 campaign when he led with a strong voice and demanded the players and resources to succeed sportsbook
If Buttler and Mott are to succeed in the long run they may need assert themselves in similar style sportsbook

Up into the stands the England players clambered to find their families, taking the consolatory hugs but unsure quite how to feel sportsbook
Across 80 minutes in Paris, their belief had been replaced by disbelief and then by desperation and dejection, England threatening the unthinkable and taking the world champions to the brink sportsbook
For most of a sodden Stade de France evening, a Rugby World Cup final was within their grasp sportsbook
A South Africa side superior in most areas were dragged down into the sort of slugfest the Springboks would usually favour, and very nearly bested at their own game sportsbook
England had given their all but it was still not enough, one stable scrum, one Handre Pollard slip or slice, short of stunning the world champions sportsbook
The emotional maelstrom of this defeat will swirl rather differently to the feelings that eddied after the 2019 World Cup final disaster sportsbook
“I’m proud of our performance,” were virtually the first words out of the mouth of wing Elliot Daly sportsbook
“I think we shocked them sportsbook
I don’t think they knew how to get into the game sportsbook
”“I think we knew what was coming and we knew we could perform like this,” added Daly, virtually unused in open play but outstanding as a kick chaser to exemplify the squad’s buy-in to a strategy that so nearly proved successful sportsbook
The finer points of Steve Borthwick’s tactical plan had been put in place this week but this was a performance England had been building towards since long ago sportsbook
A flawed side did not come to France to thrill; winning by any means necessary had been a consistent theme sportsbook
If necessity is oft the mother of invention, England at this tournament have also proved the pair can be enemies sportsbook
This was a campaign at which they seemed to intentionally limit their attacking innovation or ingenuity– recognising a need to figure themselves out on the fly, they settled on an effective and eminently executable gameplan that could be implemented quickly sportsbook
Steve Borthwick consoles Ellis Genge and Freddie Steward after England’s defeat (Getty Images)It came so close to working in Saturday’s semi-final; their effort, accuracy and competitiveness in the key contests were spot on sportsbook
At the 65-minute mark, England outside backs had a combined 17 metres carried, all from one Freddie Steward kick return sportsbook
The two number 13s’ offensive output on the final whistle amounted to one late Joe Marchant lug; South Africa centre Jesse Kriel went the full 80 minutes without an attacking touch sportsbook
“We came with a plan to win the game but we fell a little bit short,” reflected Borthwick sportsbook
“But the players should be incredibly proud sportsbook
We put ourselves in a position to win against the world champions sportsbook
England dominated the aerial contest to threaten a semi-final shock (Getty Images)“We were playing against a coaching team who have been in place since 2018 sportsbook
We’ve had four months sportsbook
I’ve asked the players to approach training and the game in a different way; for the players to be willing to change is all credit to them sportsbook
”This was a night from which the head coach will take heart, a public perhaps struggling to warm to this England team are now recognising the progress made sportsbook
There will be a need to layer on much, much more to consistently mix it with the world’s best but the rapidly laid foundations look rock solid sportsbook
In time, perhaps the ugly duckling performances will turn into white swans sportsbook
There appear to be many more buds of a bright future than first appeared in a barren landscape pre-tournament sportsbook
Ben Earl has had a breakthrough tournament, and Ollie Chessum, too, while George Martin semi-final performance marks him out as the potential enforcer England have lacked sportsbook
Borthwick was keen to talk up the absent Marcus Smith the day after the defeat, with the playmaker’s reinvention as a frolicking full-back of intrigue moving forward sportsbook
"In our 23, seven players are 25 or under, the most of any semi-finalist, there’s a great blend and there will be lots of things we can take forward,” added Borthwick sportsbook
Young England lock George Martin impressed against South Africa (Getty Images)But the fact that the men’s national team were on the brink of back-to-back finals should not provide a façade over the crumbling edifice of a fragile English game sportsbook
There is a domestic mess that needs sorting, with a Gallagher Premiership containing three teams fewer than at the start of last season, now underway to little fanfare and on the brink of significant change sportsbook
The renegotiation of the Professional Game Partnership is a recognition of a need for a radical overhaul in pursuit of a more financially sustainable domestic game, and one that produces a wider pool of top-class talent sportsbook
The likely arrival of a form of central contracts underlines a period of epochal change sportsbook
The senior figures in the squad who are unlikely to play beyond this tournament – Courtney Lawes, Ben Youngs, Dan Cole and perhaps a couple more – could well be the last England men’s internationals never to have been contracted to the union sportsbook
This has a great many benefits, not least in affording Borthwick, or any head coach that might follow him, far greater access to and control over his players sportsbook
And while Borthwick’s articulation of the advantages enjoyed by South Africa’s settled staff is a perfectly fair one, let us remember that the Rugby sportsbook Football Union (RFU) put their head coach in this situation sportsbook
The original planning for this tournament would most likely have seen Borthwick return to England camp to aid Eddie Jones at the World Cup before a smooth transition into the lead role afterwards sportsbook
Jones’s sacking sparked a scramble and several months of chaos sportsbook
It was not shown up on semi-final weekend but there are many reasons that the RFU still has a burden to bear sportsbook
But the full wash-up will wait for another week – England’s performance at the Stade de France has earned them seven more days of grace sportsbook
The tournament will end as it began for England with a meeting with Argentina in a third-place play-off that Borthwick insists he wants to win sportsbook
England, captained by Owen Farrell, narrowly missed out on a place in the World Cup final (Getty Images)“I read a piece yesterday morning that talked about adversity and talked about the fact that in adversity you find that seed of belief and you’ve got to grow it,” Borthwick said sportsbook
“This team has been through a bit in the last few years, a bit of adversity in the medium-term past sportsbook
“I think through each of those periods the team has picked up lessons, picked up what we need to do and grown from it sportsbook
I think there’s a lot of growth in this team sportsbook
Sometimes it’s not the straight-forward path you want it to be sportsbook
In the feelings and emotions of the game last night, I know that we’ll get stronger sportsbook
