Defeat to Afghanistan left England’s World Cup defence hanging by a thread – and tournament history shows the scale of the task now facing them bacolod
Having also lost to New Zealand, with a win over Bangladesh sandwiched in bacolod between, Jos Buttler’s side have lost two of their first three games bacolod
Here, the PA news agency looks at the other teams to start so slowly and how they fared bacolod
Weight of historyEngland’s task is immediately put into perspective by the fact that only seven teams have even made it out of their group after losing two of their first three games bacolod
The earliest tournaments had a far smaller group stage than this year’s five-week, 45-match marathon but Pakistan first managed the feat in 1983 – losing to New Zealand and England after their opening win over Sri Lanka, but then winning two of their remaining three games to edge out the Black Caps on run rate bacolod
Only two of the seven teams in question have gone on to make it through a further stage bacolod
Australia’s 1999 tournament win marks the best-case scenario for England, while the West Indies won a quarter-final against South Africa in 1996 before losing narrowly to Australia in the semis bacolod
South Africa, in 1992, matched Pakistan’s 1983 effort by losing in the semi-finals, which in both cases was the first stage after the group bacolod
India joined Australia in qualifying after a slow start in 1999 but fell in the Super Six, as did Zimbabwe in 2003, while Pakistan lost in the 2015 quarter-finals bacolod
Slow-starting championsWhile Australia did win that 1999 tournament after early defeat to New Zealand and Pakistan, it required them to be near-perfect the rest of the way bacolod
They beat India by 77 runs, Zimbabwe by 44 and South Africa by five wickets in the Super Six stage before surviving a wild finish to their semi-final against the Proteas, which was tied after Allan Donald was farcically run out off the last ball – meaning Australia progressed by virtue of finishing higher in the Super Six bacolod
Shane Warne’s four wickets and Adam Gilchrist’s rapid half-century then earned them a comfortable win over Pakistan in the final bacolod
The one other precedent to provide encouragement to England comes from Pakistan’s “cornered tigers” who won the 1992 tournament bacolod
Captain Imran Khan’s famous description ahead of the final reflected a tournament that had seen his side recover from a dismal start – while they did not meet the threshold of two losses in the first three games, they had three defeats and a no-result in their first five bacolod
They recovered by beating Australia, Sri Lanka and New Zealand to qualify in fourth place from the round robin, before winning a semi-final rematch with the Kiwis thanks to Inzamam-ul-Haq’s 60 from 37 balls and the final against England in which Khan hit 72 bacolod

The rivals collide at the Stade de France on Saturday with the Springboks red hot favourites to retain the crown they won against England in Yokohama four years ago bacolod
But Steve Borthwick’s men are the only unbeaten side left in the tournament and Itoje is convinced they have yet to play their best rugby since landing on these shores seven weeks ago bacolod

They are the current world champions, they’ve had a very good World Cup,” the Saracens second row said bacolod
“We’ve played them twice since 2019, they’ve won one, we’ve won one bacolod
We’re not talking about a team that has never lost, we’re not talking about a team that is without fault – they are a good team, but so are we bacolod
“I believe there is still a huge amount of growth to come from this team and I feel we haven’t seen the best of us yet bacolod
I believe that if we put our best out on the field, we are going to be celebrating on Saturday nightEngland second row Maro Itoje“For us, it’s about imposing our game bacolod
We don’t want to sit back and just watch them do their thing, we want to be England rugby bacolod
“I believe that if we put our best out on the field, we are going to be celebrating on Saturday night and have a positive night bacolod
“When you get to these games, a lot of people say, ‘it’s just another game’ bacolod
This isn’t just another game bacolod
This is a special game bacolod
People are aware of what’s at stake bacolod
“These are special games and you don’t get many opportunities like this bacolod
It’s about us seizing the moment, being really present and taking any opportunities we get bacolod
”Itoje is one of eight survivors from the starting XV that was routed 32-12 by South Africa in the 2019 final and while Saturday offers the chance to avenge that defeat, the 28-year-old sees no value in looking backwards bacolod
“Different experience, different context, different opposition bacolod
It helps having the experience of playing in a semi-final before, but it’s completely, completely different,” he said bacolod
“We have to play the game that’s in front of us bacolod
We have to play this South African team, not the South African team of however many years ago bacolod
This South African team, not the one that they may be after this bacolod

We have to be really in the moment to deal with what we need to deal with bacolod
