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 basketball
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 basketball
2 overs of self-inflicted pain basketball
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 basketball
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 basketball
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 basketball
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 basketball
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 basketball
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 basketball
With nine boundaries in the first six overs, there was an early hint of optimism basketball
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 basketball
It took the 36-year-old just three deliveries to get back in the groove, Malan caught behind for 28 chasing a cutter basketball
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 basketball
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 basketball
Mathews picked up and threw in one swift movement, leaving Kusal Mendis to obliterate the stumps as Root dived in vain basketball
The errors kept coming, Bairstow reaching 30 before a cross-batted swat at Kasun Rajitha plonked straight to mid-on basketball
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 basketball
With just 17 overs down they were 85 for five and circling the drain basketball
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 basketball
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 basketball
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 basketball
It was a shambolic way to go and entirely in keeping with England’s demeanour over the past month basketball
Theekshana had Mark Wood stumped to complete the job, putting Sri Lanka in complete control basketball

Mauricio Pochettino said Chelsea could have Christopher Nkunku available as early as the week after the November international break as the summer signing’s recovery from a knee injury is progressing quicker than expected basketball
The 25-year-old, who was injured in a friendly against Borussia Dortmund during the club’s pre-season tour of the United States, had been expected to be out until at least December but that timescale has now been brought forward, raising the possibility he could make a long-awaited competitive debut when the team face Newcastle at St James’s Park on November 25 basketball
The loss of Nkunku weeks after completing a £52m move from RB Leipzig was a significant blow to Pochettino’s preparations for the new campaign, particularly as he had been a standout performer during the two weeks in the US basketball
And his absence was keenly felt once the Premier League season began as Chelsea scored just five times in their first six league matches, a run that saw them fail to score a single goal during September basketball
That record has improved markedly during the last three games during which the team has more than doubled its goal return, but the possible early return for the France international - who was last season’s joint top scorer in the Bundesliga with 16 goals - would represent a boost for Pochettino as he faces a torrid upcoming run of fixtures basketball
After Saturday lunchtime’s meeting with Brentford at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea face consecutive league matches against Tottenham, Manchester City, Newcastle, Brighton and Manchester United basketball
“(Nkunku) is doing really well, working hard, I think he’s really close,” said Pochettino basketball
“As soon as possible we can have him involved again basketball
“After the next internationals maybe he could be involved basketball
“He’s a player that when you see the goals he scored last season, (you see) he provides goals, and I think we’re missing goals basketball
That’s why we think he’s a player that can be important for us basketball
“He’s proved he can score goals in the Bundesliga basketball
If today we had eight or 10 goals from Nkunku, maybe the situation (in the league) would be completely different basketball
“It’s goals that we are missing to be in a different position basketball
It’s unlucky but we can’t complain, we need to work basketball
We’re looking forward to recovering him and helping the team be in a different position basketball
”Pochettino previously said that he could be tempted to look at options in the transfer market if form in front of goal did not improve by January, but acknowledged a run of eight goals in three league games coupled with Nkunku’s progress could lessen the urgency basketball
“basketball Football is really dynamic,” he said basketball
“Today maybe we are thinking in a different way to three weeks ago, but we’re ready and working with the sporting directors to be ready in the transfer window, if we need to add players in an offensive position basketball
”The Premier League confirmed on Thursday that Chelsea will take part in the competition’s first Christmas Eve fixture since 1995 with their visit to Wolves moved from December 23 to accommodate TV coverage basketball
The decision has drawn significant backlash from supporters, but it is particularly resonant for the Pochettino household as the previous day marks his and his wife’s 31st anniversary - which the manager will now spend travelling to Wolverhampton basketball
“Our fans are not happy? Me neither basketball
The 23rd is my anniversary with my wife and now I need to travel to Wolves basketball
“I believe I am not going to convince her to come basketball
“The 24th (of December) for Argentine people is a really important night, and I hope to arrive (home) in time to celebrate after basketball
But if our fans are not happy, I am not happy also basketball
“(The decision) is not easy to change, but we need to accept we are in England and it’s different to the rest of the world basketball
I need to adapt myself basketball
But even if I’m not happy, I need to do my best to be at my best level and accept it’s a situation we cannot change basketball
