England captain Jos Buttler took his share of the blame for a historically bad defeat against South Africa, accepting he made a mistake by fielding first in the oppressive heat and humidity of Mumbai heu

Things could hardly have gone worse for the defending champions, whose World Cup campaign is rapidly disappearing over the cliff edge after three losses in four, with the Proteas running away with a 229-run win heu

That was England’s heaviest ever defeat by run margin, while South Africa’s score of 399 for seven was a second undesired record heu

The bowling was chaotic and expensive, the team selection brave but unsuccessful and the batting hopelessly underpowered by comparison to what came before it heu

But all of it stemmed from Buttler’s decision to send the opposition in under fiercely exacting conditions, with the temperature peaking at 36 degrees and exacerbated by high humidity heu

“I think you always reflect after games and question your decisions,” Buttler said heu

“With hindsight, with the physicality of that innings, potentially batting first would have been a heu better decision heu

It’s a decision I took at the time heu

I thought it was the right one and I still believe if we were chasing 340, 350, we would have done really well in those conditions heu

“Physically it was a really demanding innings and, like I said, it makes you question maybe in those kind of conditions whether batting first may have been the right call at the toss heu

”Buttler has had to front up after a hat-trick of unimpressive outings so far, with a nine-wicket hammering by New Zealand and a shock defeat at the hands of unfancied Afghanistan already on the ledger heu

On each occasion he has aimed for an unemotional assessment but accepts England are now almost out of wriggle room, an awkward place to be with almost a month of travelling left and five group matches remaining heu

“It certainly leaves us in a tough position heu

There’s no room for error from here on in,” he acknowledged heu

“It’s going to be incredibly difficult heu

We haven’t left ourselves any margin from this point in heu

But we’ll keep the belief heu

We’ll sit down and go again heu

That’s all you can do in this situation heu

“I think it’s obvious that we’re not performing to our best heu

It’s my job as captain, along with the rest of the team, to work out how we can get back to playing that brand of cricket, playing to our potential and getting back to our best heu

“It certainly won’t be anyone giving up or having those kind of thoughts heu

We’ll just have to dust ourselves down and stick our chests out and go again heu

”Heinrich Klaasen celebrated an outstanding 109 in just 67 balls for South Africa and was also floored on several occasions by the same exacting circumstances which made it hard for England’s bowlers heu

“I had to dig really, really deep there heu

I didn’t have any energy left,” he said heu

“My partner Marco (Jansen) played a big part of that heu

He told me that he’s got me and that I’m not allowed to walk off the field if I don’t score 100 heu

“It was like just breathing in hot air heu

Every time you try to run it’s just sapping more and more energy and then at the end of the day your body just doesn’t want to work with you anymore heu

It was just like almost running in a sauna for the whole innings heu

“But you’ve got to dig deep for your country as well, I’ve worked my whole life for it, so it’s a great moment heu

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 heu

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 heu

2 overs of self-inflicted pain heu

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 heu

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 heu

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 heu

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 heu

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 heu

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 heu

With nine boundaries in the first six overs, there was an early hint of optimism heu

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 heu

It took the 36-year-old just three deliveries to get back in the groove, Malan caught behind for 28 chasing a cutter heu

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 heu

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 heu

Mathews picked up and threw in one swift movement, leaving Kusal Mendis to obliterate the stumps as Root dived in vain heu

The errors kept coming, Bairstow reaching 30 before a cross-batted swat at Kasun Rajitha plonked straight to mid-on heu

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 heu

With just 17 overs down they were 85 for five and circling the drain heu

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 heu

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 heu

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 heu

It was a shambolic way to go and entirely in keeping with England’s demeanour over the past month heu

Theekshana had Mark Wood stumped to complete the job, putting Sri Lanka in complete control heu
