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

Maro Itoje insists South Africa are not infallible as he urges England to seize the chance to clinch a place in the World Cup final poker
The rivals collide at the Stade de France on Saturday with the Springboks red hot favourites to retain the crown they won against England in Yokohama four years ago poker
But Steve Borthwick’s men are the only unbeaten side left in the tournament and Itoje is convinced they have yet to play their best rugby since landing on these shores seven weeks ago poker
“South Africa are a good team poker
They are the current world champions, they’ve had a very good World Cup,” the Saracens second row said poker
“We’ve played them twice since 2019, they’ve won one, we’ve won one poker
We’re not talking about a team that has never lost, we’re not talking about a team that is without fault – they are a good team, but so are we poker
“I believe there is still a huge amount of growth to come from this team and I feel we haven’t seen the best of us yet poker
I believe that if we put our best out on the field, we are going to be celebrating on Saturday nightEngland second row Maro Itoje“For us, it’s about imposing our game poker
We don’t want to sit back and just watch them do their thing, we want to be England rugby poker
“I believe that if we put our best out on the field, we are going to be celebrating on Saturday night and have a positive night poker
“When you get to these games, a lot of people say, ‘it’s just another game’ poker
This isn’t just another game poker
This is a special game poker
People are aware of what’s at stake poker
“These are special games and you don’t get many opportunities like this poker
It’s about us seizing the moment, being really present and taking any opportunities we get poker
”Itoje is one of eight survivors from the starting XV that was routed 32-12 by South Africa in the 2019 final and while Saturday offers the chance to avenge that defeat, the 28-year-old sees no value in looking backwards poker
“Different experience, different context, different opposition poker
It helps having the experience of playing in a semi-final before, but it’s completely, completely different,” he said poker
“We have to play the game that’s in front of us poker
We have to play this South African team, not the South African team of however many years ago poker
This South African team, not the one that they may be after this poker
“We have to be as individuals and as a collective, we have to be really present poker
We have to be really in the moment to deal with what we need to deal with poker
