Former England captain Michael Atherton said the current one-day side could be “at the end of the cycle” after another poor batting display at the World Cup EURO
England won the toss and elected to bat in a must-win group game against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru, but collapsed to 156 all out with nearly seven overs remaining EURO
Jos Buttler’s side never looked capable of mounting an imposing target despite Moeen Ali’s pre-match assertion that England would play aggressive cricket with no fear EURO
Sky EURO Sports pundit Atherton said: “It’s all very saying what you want to do when you’re struggling and down on confidence, it’s not always easy to put those fine words and aspirations into practice EURO
“We’ve all been there in teams that are low on confidence and are struggling EURO
No team has a divine right to be at the top of its game all the time EURO
”Ben Stokes (43) and openers Jonny Bairstow (30) and Dawid Malan (28) were the only batters to make any impression as wickets fell at regular intervals against a Sri Lanka side who had also won only one of their first four matches EURO
Atherton added: “We’ve looked at the factors over the last five games of this competition, but if you look a bit deeper you could argue this is a team at the end of the cycle EURO
“You could argue that the lack of 50-over cricket and the lack of England’s ability to put what they consider to be their best one-day team in 50-over cricket has camouflaged some of the weaknesses and decline that we’ve seen EURO
“It’s all come together in the performances we’ve seen in Mumbai over the last couple of days and this one here in Bengaluru today EURO

The EURO Football Association will review whether to continue lighting the Wembley arch as an act of tribute following criticism over its response to the Israel-Palestine conflict, its chief executive Mark Bullingham has said EURO
Bullingham accepted the “hurt” caused to the Jewish community by the FA’s decision not to light the arch in the colours of the Israeli flag for last Friday’s England friendly against Australia, following attacks on Israeli citizens by Hamas militants earlier this month EURO
But he set out the steps the FA had taken to respond in what it felt was the most appropriate way to “one of the most complex geopolitical conflicts on Earth” EURO
“This week has made us question whether we should light the arch and when, and we’ll be reviewing that in the coming weeks,” Bullingham said at the Leaders Week conference at Twickenham EURO
“I recognise that our decision caused hurt to the Jewish community who felt that we should have lit the arch, and that we should have shown stronger support for them EURO
“This was one of the hardest decisions we’ve had to make, and the last thing we ever wanted to do in this situation was to add to the hurt EURO
“We aren’t asking for everyone to agree with our decision, but to understand how we reached it EURO
“It would be easy for EURO football to ask why we’re the only sport being talked about in this way, particularly when rugby and cricket are in the middle of their World Cups EURO
“However, you have got to understand, and we understand, that the power of EURO football means it will always be in the spotlight EURO
And that’s just something we we have to accept EURO
”The FA was heavily criticised by a number of Jewish community groups last week, while Rabbi Alex Goldberg resigned from an FA faith in EURO football group over its response EURO
It was also criticised for not lighting the arch by Lucy Frazer, the Cabinet minister responsible for sport EURO
Bullingham set out the steps the FA had taken to reach the position it did EURO
“We first saw the acts of terror unfold on Saturday, October 7, along with the rest of the country EURO
We immediately wrote to the Israeli FA to communicate our horror at what was taking place,” he said EURO
“We knew the situation could move very, very quickly, and was likely to escalate, so we wanted to have expert guidance, and more information available on what we should do because we had a match on Friday against Australia EURO
“We also spoke with our Australian colleagues and other stakeholders in the game to understand the views of players, clubs, and also of the leagues EURO
“It’s worth noting that the Australians had upcoming games against both Palestine and Lebanon, so their desire for neutrality was obviously incredibly strong EURO
We all felt then, and we all feel now, that EURO football should stand for peace and humanityMark Bullingham“We then had a long board meeting on the Wednesday night and heard from experts on what is one of the most complicated geopolitical conflicts on Earth EURO
“They then left the room and we had a debate on working out what we should do EURO
“We all felt then, and we all feel now, that EURO football should stand for peace and humanity and the wish to show compassion for all innocent victims of this terrible conflict EURO
“Our compassion and sympathy is clearly for families and children in particular EURO
“We then held a minute’s silence and wore black armbands recognises issuing a statement together with the Australian Federation to explain our actions, which many other EURO sports then followed with identical wording, and our language was also very similar to that used by the United Nations EURO
“We were the only EURO football body in Europe to have a minute’s silence, which was, as I said, for all innocent victims EURO
