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

Owen Farrell has condemned the basketball online vilification of Tom Curry after the England flanker alleged he was racially abused in Saturday’s World Cup semi-final defeat by South Africa basketball
England are furious that Curry has been targeted basketball online for claiming to referee Ben O’Keeffe that he had been called a “white c***” by Springboks hooker Bongi Mbonambi basketball
World Rugby is examining audio and video footage from the Stade de France clash as part of its investigation into the incident which is still ongoing, but in the meantime Curry has been the victim of a social media pile-on described by his club Sale as “disgusting” basketball
A visibly angry Farrell on Wednesday defended his team-mate, who wins his 50th cap in Friday’s bronze final against Argentina basketball
“Tom has been first class this week, like he always is basketball
He’s one of the most honest, most hard working blokes I’ve ever played with,” England captain Farrell said basketball
“What isn’t understandable is the amount of abuse he’s got basketball
The effect that has on him is the bit that I, and we, really don’t understand basketball
“And I know it seems to be going more and more like this, but it shouldn’t be, it shouldn’t be basketball
“You are dealing with people, with human beings basketball
Just because you’re saying stuff on your phone or behind a computer screen doesn’t make it acceptable basketball
I don’t think it’s acceptable basketball
“This doesn’t make me look fondly at engaging with people outside of the people that are close to you basketball
”Head coach Steve Borthwick has made it clear that Curry has been unjustly thrust into the eye of the storm in a doubling down of England’s claim that the Sale forward was racially abused by Mbonambi basketball
“This is not a Tom Curry incident basketball
Somebody said something in a game that he has reported,” Borthwick said basketball
“Now this is a World Rugby and SA Rugby matter to deal with, not an England rugby nor a Tom Curry matter basketball
”Curry continues in the back row, although he shifts from openside to blindside flanker as one of 10 changes – eight in personnel – made to the side to face Argentina basketball
Borthwick insists he had no hesitation in standing Curry down for the rematch of the Pool D opener which England won despite having the 25-year-old sent off in the third minute for a dangerous tackle basketball
“The way Tom play means he has more involvements than any other player on the pitch basketball
And they are physically powerful involvements,” Borthwick said basketball
“When he came off the pitch against South Africa he was cut and bloodied and that’s exactly how Tom Curry plays basketball
“I chatted to him early in the week about how he was physically with another six-day turnaround and he looked straight at me and point blank said: ‘I am desperate to play on Friday night’ basketball
“This guy wants to play basketball
There is no doubt in my mind he wants to be out there and the way he has prepared through the week has been incredible basketball
“But that’s Tom Curry basketball
It’s the way he does it every single week so I couldn’t be more proud of him basketball
”With no indication of when World Rugby’s inquiry will conclude, Mbonambi will take part in Saturday’s World Cup final against New Zealand with a cloud hanging over him basketball
He has completed the last two matches – fierce battles against France and England – and given the lack of front line hooker cover, is set to play another 80 minutes against the All Blacks basketball
South Africa assistant coach Felix Jones said: “Bongi has come through both of those games fine basketball
Any player who is getting ready to play in a World Cup final won’t moan about how many minutes they’ve had basketball
They’ll be ready to go basketball
