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

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

If this was a glimpse of England’s future then it rather resembles their past poker
Steve Borthwick’s squad will leave France with bits of bronze in their pockets, outlasting Argentina in an entertaining affair to decide third spot despite threatening a familiar fourth quarter fade to defeat poker
The England players slapped shoulders and shared hugs, happy enough with a World Cup medal of any kind at the end of a long and rigorous tournament poker
Perhaps this was always the likeliest summit, a short three steps up on to a rapidly-erected rostrum to collect their decoration and reflect on some progress made poker
This was something of a changing of the guard for England, bidding adieu to Ben Youngs, Courtney Lawes and a couple of others marking Test farewells, while also looking at the core coming through to lead Borthwick’s side into the next cycle poker
Ben Youngs, England’s most capped male player, has retired from Test rugby (Getty Images)Seven of England’s starting XV here were 25 or under, a young nucleus around which Borthwick will now look to build poker
They will head home with bronze medals, a fair enough achievement for a group of players who would have recognised overall triumph was always unlikely, much as they rose to the challenge impressively last weekend poker
It was a mixed bag of a performance from England’s next generation, some good, some bad poker
Henry Arundell departed after 65 minutes with an almost pristine white shirt as if just back from the dry cleaners, a single carry for 5m, a tackle and a horrible hacked kick his only involvements from a disappointing evening poker
His back-three colleague Marcus Smith was busier, producing a performance to show both the merits poker
For every flick and trick in possession there was a general air of insecurity under the high ball – Smith at 15 most certainly has merit but is best tagged a work in progress poker
Hooker Theo Dan exemplified a bitty evening with contrasting involvements in two tries in two second-half minutes poker
The young Saracens front rower was cast aside much too easily by Santiago Carreras’s outstanding solo effort but immediately atoned, blocking the Argentina fly half’s kick and scooping up the debris to score himself poker
Hooker Theo Dan scored after charging down a kick (Getty Images)It perhaps best illustrated a night that will have left some ambivalent about England’s Test adolescents, hard not to be encouraged by the zip and zing that they may come to offer, but recognising that only really Ben Earl has emerged as something resembling the finished article at this tournament poker
Even Freddie Steward looked out of sorts, England’s pillar of stability less valuable on the right wing than in a more central structural role poker
The sub-25 group included Tom Curry on the occasion of his 50th cap, a product of his precocity poker
After a difficult week off the field, the flanker looked rather glad to be on it, contesting at two of Argentina’s first five breakdowns and winning a holding on penalty at the second of them poker
Captain Owen Farrell put England in front poker
England had managed to convincingly beat Argentina in their opening game without crossing the try line, but righted that wrong eight minutes in poker
A sparky carry from pocket-rocket hooker Dan created momentum, allowing Farrell and Smith to go to work at the line, two swift transfers in-and-out of the hands sending Earl bustling through on a neat angle poker
Ben Earl crossed for a try early on (Getty Images)It had been an energetic opening from England, Curry and Sam Underhill back in tandem on the flanks and enjoying one another’s company, the so-called “kamikaze kids” returning for a one-night-only reunion gig and enjoying being back in one another’s company poker
Ellis Genge, meanwhile, took out the frustrations of last weekend on anything vaguely in his vicinity, peeling back Argentina tighthead Francisco Gomez Kodela to prevent Argentina building from a scrum 10m from England’s line poker
A side that have stuck so rigidly to their gameplan during their time in France were unlikely to wrap ties around their heads and play truant on the last day of term, but there were signs of a bit more freedom poker
Farrell at one point right at the forefront of an ambitious, and eventually aborted, adventure out of his own 22, the teacher’s pet showing his classmates the way poker
Farrell had brought his kicking boots, even if one drop goal attempt had to be abandoned due to the imminent arrival of an angry Argentine poker
A third penalty re-extended England’s 13-point advantage after Emiliano Boffelli had put his side on the board from the tee poker
At that point, the many South Americans inside the Stade de France were starting to fear the worst, an error-strewn performance so reminiscent of their meek showing on both the opening and semi-final weekends poker
But the Pumas grew into it, with soon-to-be Saracen Juan Martin Gonzalez prominent, at one point making a solo spring to snaffle lineout ball up the front and beat four defenders on a rampage up the right poker
The third place play-off was strongly contested (AFP via Getty Images)It was his gambol up the left touchline that led to Argentina’s first try, though it was a surprise that Lucio Cinti’s pass, that was a good few inches forward, to free the blindside did not prompt an intervention from the TMO poker
As it was, Gonzalez galloped on, before some lively phase play allowed Tomas Cubelli to dummy his way to the line poker
This was the Argentina we had so hoped to see more consistently across the tournament poker
Michael Cheika’s side were in front almost immediately after the interval thanks to bit of individual brilliance from fly half Carreras poker
There appeared little of promise in front of him as he ambled at the English line, but having rid himself of Dan, Carreras scampered free of Genge, too poker
Smith was stepped to complete a sensational solo score under the posts – Argentina’s chief playmaker has not been at his best across the tournament but this was a reminder of the running threat he offers poker
Santiago Carreras scored a brilliant individual try (Getty Images)But that sort of ability with ball in hand comes as a compromise, with Carreras still yet to round out his game as a Test 10 poker
From the restart after his try, he laboured a little too long over a clearance, allowing Dan to make immediate amends with a charge down poker
The hooker was fastest to the loose ball; England were back in front poker
It took Arundell until the 48th minute to have his first touch, a single missed tackle his only first-half involvement poker
A sliced kick went about 30m up but only five forwards, the error of boot exacerbated by presence of an offside England player in pursuit poker
It allowed Boffelli an opportunity to narrow the gap, and the wing took it poker
The momentum seemed to be with Argentina but they couldn’t quite make their possession and territory count poker
Farrell and replacement Nicolas Sanchez traded penalties to keep the margin at three in England’s favour poker
There it remained, Sanchez dragging a penalty from the left touchline wide having been granted an opportunity to level the scores late on poker
