Jos Buttler could only look on from behind the stumps as England’s World Cup dreams lay in tatters around him on the turf in Bengaluru following his side’s eight-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka blackjack

All the fighting talk, all the tinkering and changes, the whispers before the tournament of defending the title blackjack

Any lingering hope of qualification became all but mathematically impossible after England slid to their fourth defeat from their opening five matches blackjack

In the future, this may become a World Cup to be forgotten – as was the case in 2015, which led to the famous “white-ball reset” and four years later the title – but, in the immediate aftermath, there are questions to be answered blackjack

After the record-breaking defeat at the hands of the Proteas, both Buttler and head coach Matthew Mott spoke passionately, explaining that the side knew what they had to do – win every group game – and that’s what they intended to do blackjack

But against Sri Lanka, in a match many expected would see the team regain some of their lost pride, it became yet another performance to forget from this World Cup blackjack

England were left dejected after defeat to Sri Lanka (Reuters)Reflecting on the defeat in the immediate aftermath, even Buttler could not pinpoint what exactly has happened this tournament, saying: “You don’t become a bad player overnight, you don’t become a bad team overnight blackjack

“I think that’s been the biggest frustration, that we’ve fallen so far short of the standards that we set ourselves and for no particular reason blackjack

“You must think there should be something obvious but I can’t put my finger on it at the moment blackjack

”While the loss to South Africa can be pinned on the decision to field first, against Sri Lanka, when they chose to bat first, England simply did not score enough runs blackjack

The total of 156 was never going to be defendable, let alone against a side who had scored almost 350 in a losing cause against Pakistan earlier in the tournament, and England never got going blackjack

England’s confusing selection had continued when they dropped rising star Harry Brook, leaving them a side where every player was over 30 blackjack

Having made three changes for the previous game, Buttler and Mott made three again, returning to packing the side with all-rounders in Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone and Chris Woakes blackjack

But they batted every bit like a side long past their peak blackjack

Ben Stokes, as he so often does, offered a brief resistance with bat in hand, top-scoring with 43, but it was not enough, and their meagre total was never likely to be enough to be in contention on the fast-scoring pitch blackjack

Adil Rashid’s calamitous run out was symptomatic of England’s problems (Reuters)On the face of it, Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Stokes and Joe Root are up there with some of England’s greatest-ever white ball batters blackjack

But none of them have been able to find the form that guided the team to the trophy in 2019 blackjack

Ali spoke ahead of the match about playing with freedom and laying it all out there blackjack

But all that was left at the end of the England innings were the hilarity of a lazy run out that brought the end of Adil Rashid’s innings, several badly timed shots and poor decision-making that will make for a glum highlights reel blackjack

Sri Lanka, to their credit, bowled exceptionally blackjack

Lahiru Kumara was especially problematic as he claimed three wickets for 35 runs blackjack

They kept the pressure on England and did not relent, before following it up with a batting innings that was just what the situation called for blackjack

It was not risk-taking, but the bad balls were dispatched as Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama scored 77 and 65 respectively to see their side over the line blackjack

There was nowhere to hide on the field for England, and no one to take the game by the scruff of the neck and drag them back into it – barring two early wickets from David Willey blackjack

But from then it was just too easy for Sri Lanka blackjack

England will have to improve blackjack

They cannot just meekly fade away into the background, least of all because they have two big games to come against India and Australia blackjack

Another humiliation must be avoided at all costs blackjack

England’s qualification path to Euro 2024 continues on Tuesday night when they host Italy at Wembley blackjack

A win against the Azzurri will ensure Gareth Southgate’s side qualify for next year’s tournament in Germany blackjack

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at some memorable encounters blackjack between both sides at Wembley blackjack

European Championship final – 2021The last meeting blackjack between both sides under the arch came in 2021 when England’s dreams for a major trophy ended after being beaten in a penalty shootout blackjack

Southgate’s side got off to a flying start through Luke Shaw’s early strike, but Leonardo Bonucci levelled for Italy as the match went into extra time before ending with spot-kicks blackjack

Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford saved penalties from Andrea Belotti and Jorginho, but Marcus Rashford hit a post before Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka were denied by Gianluigi Donnarumma as Italy earned a 3-2 shootout victory and lifted the European Championship blackjack

World Cup qualifiers – 1997Aiming to qualify for their first World Cup since Italia 1990, England were drawn in a group alongside Italy as they aimed to secure a spot in the 1998 edition in France blackjack

Cesare Maldini oversaw the Italian side playing at Wembley in 1997 and Gianfranco Zola’s 19th-minute strike was enough for the visitors to pick up three points blackjack

England eventually went on to win the qualifying group with an historic draw against the Azzurri in Rome later in the year blackjack

World Cup qualifying disappointment – 1977Similarly to the 1998 tournament, England’s qualification for the 1978 World Cup saw them drawn in a group with Italy blackjack

After losing their first fixture 2-0 in Rome, England welcomed the Azzurri to Wembley 12 months later in November 1977 blackjack

Playing under manager Ron Greenwood, Kevin Keegan opened the scoring for the hosts before Trevor Brooking doubled the lead to seal a 2-0 victory blackjack

Despite their win, England did not qualify for the 1978 tournament in Argentina as Italy earned a 3-0 win against Luxembourg to top the qualifying group on goal difference blackjack

Bobby Moore’s final outing – 1973England’s World Cup-winning captain made his final international appearance against Italy in 1973 blackjack

It rounded off a stellar England career for Moore, who led his side to World Cup glory in 1966 and captained the team on 90 occasions blackjack

However, his 108th and final England cap ended in defeat in the friendly clash against the Azzurri, who won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Fabio Capello – a future England manager blackjack between 2007 and 2012 blackjack
