England have accepted their chances of defending their World Cup crown are over after slumping to a fourth defeat in their first five matches in India poker
The abject run of form has seen the 2019 champions slip to ninth in the table and invited an early inquest into exactly what has gone wrong with a side who were once trailblazers in the 50-over game poker
Here, we look at five reasons for their current plight poker
Get the latest Cricket World Cup odds here poker
Lack of new bloodEven the best sporting teams need renewal from time to time, but England’s ODI golden generation has been resistant to change poker
Eight of their 2019 heroes were back for another go and most look a shadow of their old selves poker
With the Metro Bank One-Day Cup relegated to developmental status, it has been hard for domestic players to force their way in, and even one of the outstanding players of the coming generation – Harry Brook – has struggled to make the XI poker
Waiting for SupermanEngland were thrilled when the inspirational Ben Stokes agreed to end his retirement from the format and it looked a trump card when he hit a national record 182 in his first series back against New Zealand poker
But this tournament has already passed him by poker
Having ruled himself out of bowling due to knee problems, he then picked up a hip complaint during the warm-up week and missed England’s first three games poker
Now, just as he is back and getting his eye in, England are effectively gone poker
Powerless powerplaysA major part of England’s success under previous skipper Eoin Morgan was built around their fearlessness at the top of the innings poker
At their best the partnership of Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow was a fearsome prospect, with the pair’s rampant style giving new ball bowlers the quivers poker
But Roy was axed on the eve of the tournament, Bairstow is short on form and Dawid Malan builds his innings more methodically poker
As a result they have averaged a humdrum 58 from their first 10 overs so far, and lost nine powerplay wickets in their five games poker
The team’s momentum is rotting from the head poker
Muddled selectionEngland used just 13 players in 11 games when they won the trophy four years ago but had already used all 15 of their squad in their first four this time poker
They started off loaded with all-rounders, got spooked so badly that they dropped four of them by the time South Africa came around and then reverted back to their original game plan against versus Sri Lanka poker
Their most in-form bowler, Reece Topley, was a surprise omission from the first match before injury later ended his tournament, Brook was ditched last time out in a side exclusively comprising thirtysomethings and Moeen Ali has drifted in and out despite being vice-captain poker
The act of putting a balanced XI together has proved beyond them poker
Unforced errorsIt is one thing to be beaten by the poker better team but another to giftwrap the advantage to your opponents poker
England did exactly that unforgivably in their crunch clash against the South Africans in Mumbai, where Jos Buttler won the toss and opted to field first in oppressive heat and humidity that left his side with the toughest possible task poker
He also handed Afghanistan the chance to set the tone in Delhi and paid the price then too poker
Two run-outs against Sri Lanka summed up their scrambled minds, a chaotic one for Joe Root and a comedic one for Adil Rashid poker
England have lost 47 of a possible 49 wickets to date, showing just how wasteful they have been poker

England were grappling with a selection quandary on the eve of their crucial World Cup clash against South Africa, with captain Jos Buttler weighing up Chris Woakes’ role as leader of the attack poker
Woakes’ new-ball skills have been a reliable centrepiece of the side ever since their white-ball reinvention eight years ago, but he has suffered an uncharacteristic wobble since arriving in India poker
Three loose starts from the usually dependable seamer have undermined England’s efforts so far and an economy rate of 7 poker
5 an over, coupled with two wickets at 67 poker
50 each, tells a concerning story poker
But with victory a must in Mumbai on Saturday following defeats to New Zealand and Afghanistan, taking the most established pace bowler out of the firing line would still represent a significant call poker
Buttler acknowledged Woakes’ long-term record and recent dip in form represented a conflicted picture and is set to thrash the matter out with head coach Matthew Mott poker
RecommendedBen Stokes feared his Cricket World Cup was over when he heard his hip ‘pop’Jonny Bairstow: England-South Africa World Cup double will be ‘great spectacle’“He’s been a fantastic performer for an incredibly long time for England in all the formats and especially in one-day cricket,” he said poker
“But we’re all honest guys, right? We’re all honest professionals who hold each other to high standards and individually expect a lot of ourselves poker
He knows he’s not performing quite how he would like to at the minute, and that’s frustrating, but there’s no judgement from our side poker
“We always back all our players that are in our team - we picked them for a number of reasons and one because they’re high-class players and he’s certainly one of those poker
”David Willey stands by as a specialist powerplay bowler, eager to showcase his left-arm swing on the World Cup stage after missing out on the 2019 tournament by a whisker, while Surrey’s Gus Atkinson has yet to feature poker
Whatever happens, Ben Stokes is locked in to make his eagerly-anticipated return after missing all three games with a hip injury poker
And, with his stand-in Harry Brook providing the only bright spot of a botched chase against Afghanistan, a rebalancing of the XI could be under consideration poker
Sam Curran, light on runs and expensive with the ball, has left himself particularly vulnerable poker
Sam Curran has not fired with bat or ball to any great extent (Getty Images)“I think I’ve got so many options within the squad, selection is always tough,” Buttler said poker
“You’re working out the right balance, which is always venue dependent as well, and we’ve had a good chance to see the wicket here and gather a bit more information poker
“Obviously Ben has trained really well and it’s great to see him back poker
He obviously brings a lot on the field and with his presence and leadership skills as well, so he’s someone who is always good to turn to poker
”Both teams are looking to bounce back from stinging upsets last time out, with the Proteas’ implosion against the Netherlands somehow leapfrogging England’s reverse against Afghanistan in the pantheon of World Cup shocks within 24 hours poker
The last time the two sides faced off at this storied venue, in the 2016 T20 World Cup, it was a classic encounter that saw England hunt down 230 - still their record chase in the format poker
There are six survivors from that side still on parade seven years later, including Buttler poker
Now he is hoping England can relocate similar attacking instincts once again poker
“There are great memories of that night, albeit a long time ago poker
It was one of my favourite games,” he recalled poker
“I think this is one of the great grounds in India poker
I love playing cricket here poker
I think it’s a fantastic cricket wicket and, absolutely, it should suit us poker
“We want to find ways to make a play, to put the opposition under pressure in lots of different ways poker
That doesn’t always mean hitting fours and sixes, it means can we push back when the opposition is on top or can we really take the initiative in different ways poker
That’s what we want to live by as a team poker
