England crumble against hosts India at Cricket World Cup
Another batting collapse leads to England succumbing to a 100-run defeat at the hands of India in the Cricket World Cup.
India have heaped further misery on England by recording a 100-run victory over the defending champions in Lucknow.
England’s defence of their 2019 World Cup crown was already all but over before this contest, and they failed to restore any pride despite initially restricting the hosts to 229-9 from their 50 overs.
Having reached 30-0 after 4.5 overs, the run-chase looked on, but England tamely collapsed to 129 all out from 34.5 overs....Click Here To Continue Reading>>
To their credit, England’s bowling attack performed as solidly as they have done for a number of games, Shubman Gill (9), Virat Kohli (0) and Shreyas Iyer (4) all departed with India on 40 after 11.5 overs.
However, a combination of Rohit Sharma (87), KL Rahul (39) and Suryakumar Yadav (49) restored order, even if the eventual total was considerably below what they would have expected.
David Willey’s 3-45 was complemented by Chris Woakes’s 2-33 and Adil Rashid 2-35, yet a true judgement of the pitch was not possible until England had batted.

When England went from 30-0 to 39-4, everyone got their answer. Jonny Bairstow (14) and Dawid Malan (16) had made a promising start, but Joe Root went for a first-ball duck.
Ben Stokes was also dismissed without troubling the score, and while the following six batsmen all reached double figures, only Liam Livingstone (27) advanced past 16.
Mohammed Shami (4-22) and Jasprit Bumrah (3-32) were sensational with the ball, taking India two points clear at the top and leaving England further cemented to the bottom with Australia to come next.

Sean Dyche was forced into one alteration from the team that lost to Manchester United last week with Dominic Calvert-Lewin left out through injury, allowing Beto to make the starting 11.
Notably, the pink protest cards were out in force by the Everton faithful again this week.
There was little to choose between the sides during the opening exchanges, though Anthony Elanga looked like the most dangerous player on the pitch over the first 20 minutes, with Ashley Young struggling to keep up with the 21-year-old.
However, the first big chance of the match fell the way of The Toffees when Odysseas Vlachodimos dropped a high ball into the box that fell at the feet of Beto, but the forward skied his first-time effort over the bar from roughly 12 yards out.
Forest had their first real sight of goal at the half-hour mark, with Elanga getting on the end of a cross into the box, but the forward was unable to guide the ball inside the far post with his attempt.
The best chance of the first half went the way of the visitors when Abdoulaye Doucoure played in Dwight McNeil, who put his shot past Vlachodimos, but Murillo got back on the line and cleared the ball to safety off the face of the upright.
It was all square at the interval, but Everton should probably have been in the lead with two big chances wasted.
Forest made a bright start to the second half and almost got the opening goal with a shot from Felipe that struck the woodwork.
Amid the tussle in the box during that attempt, Doucoure looked to have pulled Yates to the ground, which the referee waved on, and after a VAR review, the video assistants decided there was not enough evidence to overturn the onfield decision.
Unfortunately for Forest, their frustrations were compounded 10 minutes later as Beto miscued a header in the opposing box that fell to McNeil, who lashed a powerful shot into the top corner to give The Toffees the lead.
Elanga almost pulled his side level twice in the final 10 minutes but saw his first attempt smothered by Jordan Pickford, while his second went just wide of the far post from a snap shot.
Everton parked the bus in stoppage time and saw the game out for a big three points.
Forest will head to Craven Cottage in midweek to take on Fulham while Everton will welcome Newcastle United to Goodison Park on Thursday night.
