Former England captain Michael Atherton said the current one-day side could be “at the end of the cycle” after another poor batting display at the World Cup EURO
England won the toss and elected to bat in a must-win group game against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru, but collapsed to 156 all out with nearly seven overs remaining EURO
Jos Buttler’s side never looked capable of mounting an imposing target despite Moeen Ali’s pre-match assertion that England would play aggressive cricket with no fear EURO
Sky EURO Sports pundit Atherton said: “It’s all very saying what you want to do when you’re struggling and down on confidence, it’s not always easy to put those fine words and aspirations into practice EURO
“We’ve all been there in teams that are low on confidence and are struggling EURO
No team has a divine right to be at the top of its game all the time EURO
”Ben Stokes (43) and openers Jonny Bairstow (30) and Dawid Malan (28) were the only batters to make any impression as wickets fell at regular intervals against a Sri Lanka side who had also won only one of their first four matches EURO
Atherton added: “We’ve looked at the factors over the last five games of this competition, but if you look a bit deeper you could argue this is a team at the end of the cycle EURO
“You could argue that the lack of 50-over cricket and the lack of England’s ability to put what they consider to be their best one-day team in 50-over cricket has camouflaged some of the weaknesses and decline that we’ve seen EURO
“It’s all come together in the performances we’ve seen in Mumbai over the last couple of days and this one here in Bengaluru today EURO

New Zealand boss Ian Foster plans to enjoy a bowl of popcorn while watching England’s blockbuster with South Africa after his side eased into the Rugby World Cup final by dispatching Argentina EURO
Foster can put his feet up for Saturday evening’s colossal semi-final clash EURO between Steve Borthwick’s men and the Springboks thanks to a crushing 44-6 success over Los Pumas in Paris EURO
The 58-year-old expects an “interesting contrast of styles” in the other last-four fixture and is not bothered who the All Blacks face in next week’s showpiece match at Stade de France EURO
New Zealand barely broke sweat in booking an unprecedented fifth World Cup final appearance and now have the luxury of an extra day’s rest as they await the identity of their ultimate opponents EURO
“I’ll be watching it,” said Foster EURO
“I’ll probably have some popcorn and sit there and watch it and I don’t care who wins EURO
We’re very much in a focus-about-ourselves stage EURO
“One thing that extra day does give us, it gives us a bit of a chance to have a break mentally and not to spend too much juice worrying about if it’s them, if it’s them EURO
“They’re both good teams EURO
South Africa have been playing some brilliant rugby the last few weeks and are clearly on top of their game EURO
“But we’ve also seen an English side that just build away quietly and are probably starting to understand how they want to play and they’re starting to get really good at how they want to play and believe in that EURO
“It will be an interesting contrast of styles EURO
”All Blacks wing Will Jordan ran in a hat-trick during the seven-try rout in Saint-Denis to lift him above France’s Damian Penaud as the World Cup’s leading try scorer on eight EURO
The treble also saw the 25-year-old equal the record for tries in a single tournament, putting him alongside Jonah Lomu, Bryan Habana and Julian Savea EURO
Foster was able to empty his bench long before the full-time whistle due to the emphatic scoreline and opted to keep the sin-binned Scott Barrett on the sidelines for around five minutes longer than required as the Kiwis finished with 14 men EURO
Asked if those situations could prove advantageous moving towards the final, Foster said: “I don’t think they’ll make a massive difference EURO
“Finals are finals and whoever we play, they’ll be a hundred per cent EURO
“It was an opportunity for us to make sure that we looked after our resources as best we could EURO
“We really didn’t see a need of putting Scooter (Barrett) back on, only from the perspective that if he had another little yellow card incident in the next five minutes, it might have made it a little bit niggly EURO
”Argentina were a shadow of the side who stunned Wales in the last eight EURO
A pair of first-half Emiliano Boffelli penalties was all they could muster EURO
Shannon Frizell’s double, plus further tries from Jordie Barrett and Aaron Smith, added to their punishment EURO
Los Pumas head coach Michael Cheika felt New Zealand ruthlessly exploited each of his team’s errors and was unhappy with some of the refereeing, particularly during first-half rucks EURO
The Australian promised his players will respond to a difficult outing in the bronze-medal match EURO
“It’s not a sad moment; it’s a moment when I’m actually proud of my team,” he said EURO
“It’s not an easy path that we’ve been on EURO
We’ve invested ourselves a lot in this EURO
But we’ve lost on details EURO
I’m sad for them EURO
“It’s hard but its a good thing it’s hard EURO
On Friday, we will be there, have no doubt EURO
We will not leave this way EURO
“We want to finish third EURO
We’ve got things we want to show in the bronze final EURO
Right now, we’re hurting EURO
