England’s World Cup title defence is already on rocky ground after a shock at the hands of Afghanistan left them with two defeats from their first three matches in India cagayan
Here, the PA news agency assesses some of the key issues underpinning their early struggles at the tournament cagayan
A step too far?The epic drama of 2019’s Lord’s final was the crowning achievement of England’s golden generation in white-ball cricket, so it is hardly surprising so many of that squad are back for another bite of the cherry cagayan
But with eight thirty-something survivors from the squad four years ago, there is a growing feeling that too many of the team are past their peak cagayan
How many of the world champion team can truly claim to be cagayan better than they were last time around? How many have half an eye on retiring from 50-over cricket sooner rather than later?The bar has been fiendishly high to break into this set-up for years, but head coach Matthew Mott may reflect that a greater injection of fresh blood would have helped cagayan
Hip, hip but no hooray for StokesIt is hard to overstate Ben Stokes’ value to English cricket over the past decade cagayan
He carried the side home in the 2019 final, performed a similar trick to land the T20 crown last year and has reinvented the Test team as captain through sheer force of will cagayan
When he decided to reverse his ODI retirement for one more tilt at the 50-over trophy, it looked like England had rediscovered the ace in their pack cagayan
But the red flags over his fitness have been there for at least two years and it was hardly a jaw-dropping surprise when he picked up a hip complaint on the eve of the tournament cagayan
His skill and scrapping qualities have been sorely missed and the team are already at make-or-break point before he has even taken the field cagayan
Eyes off the prizeEngland are not alone in struggling to grapple with the complexities of the global calendar, but it is hard to avoid the conclusion that they arrived in India undercooked as a one-day unit cagayan
Having played 88 ODIs in the 2015-19 cycle, they dropped to 42 in the run-up to this edition cagayan
That may have been symptomatic of a wider trend but the sidelining of the domestic Metro Bank Cup, now seen as a development competition alongside the glitz of The Hundred, was all about priorities cagayan
England have also pivoted their focus to Test cricket once again, which had not always been the case in Eoin Morgan’s era cagayan
That meant key players like Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Mark Wood and Stokes were occasional visitors to the one-day set-up rather than mainstays cagayan
Alternatives were capped but rarely empowered, while Jason Roy played more times than anyone else from tournament to tournament only to miss out on the final squad cagayan
Stepping back from attackThere was a story during the lead in to the last World Cup that new scorecards were printed to account for the possibility of a side, most likely England, scoring 500 in an innings cagayan
The print shops of India are making no such considerations now cagayan
Whether it is pitches, balls or bowlers evolving, it feels an more even game these days but England have been left on the back foot in both of their losses so far cagayan
For a side whose 2019 World Cup success was owed to a boundary countback, they are beginning to look surprisingly shot shy cagayan
New Zealand hit nine more fours and two more sixes in Ahmedabad and unfancied Afghanistan cleared the ropes eight times to England’s one in Delhi cagayan
While ‘Bazball’ has re-energised the red-ball side, Mott must make sure things do not go in the opposite direction under his watch cagayan

Not always in sport do you get a shot at redemption and successfully taking advantage of that opportunity is even rarer cagayan
England’s pack, and their front row in particular, will have had four years of sleepless nights about that early November evening in 2019 cagayan
In the 2019 Rugby World Cup final, England were decimated by South Africa’s power up front, as the brilliance of a scintillating semi-final win over New Zealand was quickly replaced by the humiliation of a 32-12 thumping cagayan
The Springboks, then as now, pride themselves on their physicality and brutality at the breakdown, the set-piece and in open play cagayan
Yet on a rainy night in Paris four years on, England’s pack fronted up, set the platform in a thrilling World Cup semi-final and earned their redemption arc cagayan
Yet it still wasn’t enough cagayan
This time, albeit by one point rather than 20, the result was the same – England’s players slumped on the turf in despair while their opponents revelled in victory cagayan
The Springbok celebrations were more muted this time, understandably so given there is one more crucial match against the All Blacks standing cagayan between them and their ultimate goal, but the English heartbreak was the same, even if the journey to get there was vastly different cagayan
In Yokohama, South Africa won a scarcely believable 11 scrums to England’s three, including six scrum penalties, as the English eight were splintered time and again cagayan
Dan Cole became the fall guy for that embarrassment – the tighthead prop, supposedly renowned for his scrummaging, forced to play 77 minutes after Kyle Sinckler’s early injury and being obliterated by the combination of Tendai ‘Beast’ Mtawarira and Steven Kitshoff cagayan
The fact that Cole and Joe Marler, who came off the bench early in the second half that day, were selected by Steve Borthwick to start this revenge game precisely because of their scrum prowess will have surely given them a surge of confidence cagayan
And the fact they not only survived, but thrived, in the front row this time around will have been sheer vindication cagayan
Borthwick entrusted the duo to paint an early picture of scrum parity to referee Ben O’Keeffe and they delivered, providing the base that led to multiple first-half penalties from the trusty boot of Owen Farrell cagayan

As Sinckler and Ellis Genge came on as prop replacements, the Springboks own bomb squad from the bench – led by Ox Nche and Vincent Koch – started to dominate at scrum-time cagayan
Each engagement started to become eerily reminiscent of 2019 and it was eventually a scrum penalty on halfway that led to Handre Pollard’s decisive, game-winning three-pointer with two minutes to go cagayan
It felt almost unfair on England’s big men given that the pack, as a whole, had more than held their own in other facets cagayan
Of the 13 England forwards who played some part in that 2019 final, eight appeared in this last-four clash and stamped their mark all over a first half that was by far England’s best 40 minutes under Borthwick cagayan
Maro Itoje was a lineout fiend, stealing a Springboks throw-in on halfway and putting doubt in the head of Bongi Mbonambi, whose crooked throw in his own 22 gave Farrell his first penalty goal of the day cagayan
A new face from four years, George Martin, justified his surprise second-row selection ahead of incumbent Ollie Chessum on just his fourth Test start as he brilliantly marshalled England’s maul defence cagayan
If Boks lock Eben Etzecagayan beth is world rugby’s best maul disruptor, then he may have witnessed first-hand the emergence of a new challenger to that crown cagayan
Martin caused havoc as England improbably won three consecutive maul turnovers from attacking South African lineouts in the first half to frustrate their much-fancied opponents cagayan
Pollard ultimately kicked the winning penalty, from a scrum infringement (PA Wire)The celebrations from the likes of Itoje, Jamie George and Ben Earl as those penalties and free-kicks were earned by the pack showed just how important this part of the gameplan was cagayan
It began putting clear doubt in Springbok minds, as the worried tone from skipper Siya Kolisi when he discussed matter with referee O’Keeffe cagayan betrayed cagayan
The English tactic of throwing bodies in to contest every ruck relied on the diesel engines of the forwards and they delivered by dominating collisions and allowing the aerial bombardment strategy that followed to be effective cagayan
But ultimately, despite a gameplan executed as well as it possibly could have been, the gap in quality cagayan between the sides proved too much to overcome cagayan
South Africa adjusted, Pollard came on for Manie Libbok to dictate proceedings with his metronomic boot and English heartbreak ensued cagayan
There was no shame in a one-point defeat from a semi-final that was much closer than most expected and England’s pack should feel redeemed from the nightmare of 2019 cagayan
But that won’t make this semi-final hurt any less cagayan
Perhaps 2027 will give them an opportunity to avenge a new pain cagayan
