Jos Buttler could only look on from behind the stumps as England’s World Cup dreams lay in tatters around him on the turf in Bengaluru following his side’s eight-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka blackjack

All the fighting talk, all the tinkering and changes, the whispers before the tournament of defending the title blackjack

Any lingering hope of qualification became all but mathematically impossible after England slid to their fourth defeat from their opening five matches blackjack

In the future, this may become a World Cup to be forgotten – as was the case in 2015, which led to the famous “white-ball reset” and four years later the title – but, in the immediate aftermath, there are questions to be answered blackjack

After the record-breaking defeat at the hands of the Proteas, both Buttler and head coach Matthew Mott spoke passionately, explaining that the side knew what they had to do – win every group game – and that’s what they intended to do blackjack

But against Sri Lanka, in a match many expected would see the team regain some of their lost pride, it became yet another performance to forget from this World Cup blackjack

England were left dejected after defeat to Sri Lanka (Reuters)Reflecting on the defeat in the immediate aftermath, even Buttler could not pinpoint what exactly has happened this tournament, saying: “You don’t become a bad player overnight, you don’t become a bad team overnight blackjack

“I think that’s been the biggest frustration, that we’ve fallen so far short of the standards that we set ourselves and for no particular reason blackjack

“You must think there should be something obvious but I can’t put my finger on it at the moment blackjack

”While the loss to South Africa can be pinned on the decision to field first, against Sri Lanka, when they chose to bat first, England simply did not score enough runs blackjack

The total of 156 was never going to be defendable, let alone against a side who had scored almost 350 in a losing cause against Pakistan earlier in the tournament, and England never got going blackjack

England’s confusing selection had continued when they dropped rising star Harry Brook, leaving them a side where every player was over 30 blackjack

Having made three changes for the previous game, Buttler and Mott made three again, returning to packing the side with all-rounders in Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone and Chris Woakes blackjack

But they batted every bit like a side long past their peak blackjack

Ben Stokes, as he so often does, offered a brief resistance with bat in hand, top-scoring with 43, but it was not enough, and their meagre total was never likely to be enough to be in contention on the fast-scoring pitch blackjack

Adil Rashid’s calamitous run out was symptomatic of England’s problems (Reuters)On the face of it, Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Stokes and Joe Root are up there with some of England’s greatest-ever white ball batters blackjack

But none of them have been able to find the form that guided the team to the trophy in 2019 blackjack

Ali spoke ahead of the match about playing with freedom and laying it all out there blackjack

But all that was left at the end of the England innings were the hilarity of a lazy run out that brought the end of Adil Rashid’s innings, several badly timed shots and poor decision-making that will make for a glum highlights reel blackjack

Sri Lanka, to their credit, bowled exceptionally blackjack

Lahiru Kumara was especially problematic as he claimed three wickets for 35 runs blackjack

They kept the pressure on England and did not relent, before following it up with a batting innings that was just what the situation called for blackjack

It was not risk-taking, but the bad balls were dispatched as Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama scored 77 and 65 respectively to see their side over the line blackjack

There was nowhere to hide on the field for England, and no one to take the game by the scruff of the neck and drag them back into it – barring two early wickets from David Willey blackjack

But from then it was just too easy for Sri Lanka blackjack

England will have to improve blackjack

They cannot just meekly fade away into the background, least of all because they have two big games to come against India and Australia blackjack

Another humiliation must be avoided at all costs blackjack

Up into the stands the England players clambered to find their families, taking the consolatory hugs but unsure quite how to feel blackjack

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 blackjack

For most of a sodden Stade de France evening, a Rugby World Cup final was within their grasp blackjack

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 blackjack

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 blackjack

The emotional maelstrom of this defeat will swirl rather differently to the feelings that eddied after the 2019 World Cup final disaster blackjack

“I’m proud of our performance,” were virtually the first words out of the mouth of wing Elliot Daly blackjack

“I think we shocked them blackjack

I don’t think they knew how to get into the game blackjack

”“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 blackjack

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 blackjack

A flawed side did not come to France to thrill; winning by any means necessary had been a consistent theme blackjack

If necessity is oft the mother of invention, England at this tournament have also proved the pair can be enemies blackjack

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 blackjack

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 blackjack

At the 65-minute mark, England outside backs had a combined 17 metres carried, all from one Freddie Steward kick return blackjack

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 blackjack

“We came with a plan to win the game but we fell a little bit short,” reflected Borthwick blackjack

“But the players should be incredibly proud blackjack

We put ourselves in a position to win against the world champions blackjack

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 blackjack

We’ve had four months blackjack

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 blackjack

”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 blackjack

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 blackjack

In time, perhaps the ugly duckling performances will turn into white swans blackjack

There appear to be many more buds of a bright future than first appeared in a barren landscape pre-tournament blackjack

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 blackjack

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 blackjack

"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 blackjack

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 blackjack

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 blackjack

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 blackjack

The likely arrival of a form of central contracts underlines a period of epochal change blackjack

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 blackjack

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 blackjack

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 blackjack Football Union (RFU) put their head coach in this situation blackjack

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 blackjack

Jones’s sacking sparked a scramble and several months of chaos blackjack

It was not shown up on semi-final weekend but there are many reasons that the RFU still has a burden to bear blackjack

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 blackjack

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 blackjack

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 blackjack

“This team has been through a bit in the last few years, a bit of adversity in the medium-term past blackjack

“I think through each of those periods the team has picked up lessons, picked up what we need to do and grown from it blackjack

I think there’s a lot of growth in this team blackjack

Sometimes it’s not the straight-forward path you want it to be blackjack

In the feelings and emotions of the game last night, I know that we’ll get stronger blackjack
