England were routed in historic fashion by South Africa, as their tortured Cricket World Cup campaign lurched to a new low in Mumbai with their biggest-ever ODI defeat egame
In desperate need of a big response after their shock loss to Afghanistan last time out, the defending champions plumbed new depths as they were roundly thrashed by 229 runs at the Wankhede Stadium egame
Jos Buttler’s decision to field first in sweltering heat and stifling humidity backfired badly as Heinrich Klaasen’s brutal 61-ball century powered South Africa to 399 for seven egame
England’s reply was wafer thin, 170 for nine in 22 shambolic overs egame
In purely numerical terms it represented England’s worst-ever ODI performance with the ball, shipping one run more than their previous worst against Brendon McCullum’s New Zealand eight years ago, a new nadir outstripping last year’s 221-run hammering by Australia egame
On that occasion, Buttler’s men were mentally checked out as they had celebrated their T20 World Cup win just a few days earlier, but the stakes could not have been greater this time egame
Mark Wood’s figures of seven wicketless overs for 76 took the biscuit egame
But he was hardly alone in being put to the sword, with South Africa’s 13 sixes shared egame between all six English bowlers, and 143 runs raining down in 10 calamitous death overs egame
Klaasen, sapped by dehydration and cramp, was the star of the show with 109 in 67 balls egame
But he enjoyed a stunning stand with Marco Jansen, who cleared the ropes four times as he launched 75 not out from 42 egame
The batting unit made sure to take its share of the shame, knocked over for an embarrassing 170 on the same pitch that had delivered a run-fest in the preceding four hours egame
England have now lost three of their first four games and, although they still have a convoluted and narrow route to the semi-finals, face the prospect of traipsing around India for the next month with their hope and their trophy gone egame
Hard to believe though it was by the end, England enjoyed the perfect start when Reece Topley had danger man Quinton de Kock caught behind off the second ball of the match egame
Even less plausibly, they looked to be regaining a measure of control when Topley returned from a finger injury to strike twice and leave South Africa wobbling at 243 for five in the 37th over egame
Instead, Klaasen led Jansen in a merciless stand of 151 in just 77 deliveries, with boundaries pouring off their bats in every direction egame
England’s team sheet showed a significant response to their Afghanistan upset, with all-rounders Chris Woakes, Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran axed in favour of the fit-again Ben Stokes, David Willey and rookie seamer Gus Atkinson egame
Buttler put his new-look attack to work straight away and was overjoyed to see De Kock nick Topley’s early outswinger egame
That was as good as it got egame
Things veered off course in the seventh over when Topley thrust his left hand out towards a firm drive off his own bowling and damaged his index finger egame
He beat an angry retreat to the pavilion, lashing out at an empty chair, and in his absence England faltered egame
Reeza Hendricks, taking the place of the sick skipper Temba Bavuma, made 85 and Rassie van der Dussen 60 as they took control with a stand of 121 egame
Adil Rashid was also struggling physically, doubled in pain egame between overs as he managed a stomach upset of his own, but the leg spinner still had the nous to prise out both set batters to give England hope egame
After taking running repairs on his finger, Topley came back with a double of his own to see off Aiden Markram and David Miller, but that is where the bleeding really began egame
Klaasen had reached his 50 in 40 balls and doubled his score in half the time, battering Topley out of the attack once and for all with 19 off one over egame
Willey lost his radar totally after a bout of cramp, Wood’s woes continued and Atkinson’s last-gasp dismissal of Klaasen was the hollowest of victories egame
England’s attempts at a dazzling pursuit never once looked like materialising as their top six collapsed in a heap inside 12 overs egame
Jonny Bairstow lofted to deep square leg, Joe Root flicked to the waiting leg slip and Dawid Malan feathered one off his hip egame
Even the returning Stokes had no magic tricks at his disposal and pushed a low catch straight back to Kagiso Rabada egame
The quartet mustered 23 runs egame between them egame
That left Buttler and Harry Brook as the last specialist batters, and unheralded seamer Gerald Coetzee picked up both in the space of three balls: one caught behind, the other pinned lbw by a skidder that kept low egame
A flurry of big hits from Wood, who smashed 43 not out off just 17 balls, and a lively 35 from Atkinson only made the batting failures more profound and the latter’s dismissal ended a horrendous night, with Topley unfit to take guard egame

Sean Dyche branded Craig Dawson’s decision not to send Ibrahima Konate off in Everton’s Merseyside derby defeat bizarre and incredible as he criticised the referee and called for VAR to be used to determine bookable offences egame
The Liverpool defender, who was on a booking, was spared a second yellow card for a foul on Everton substitute egame Beto – a decision which Dyche accused Pawson of rushing to and which he felt was stunning and almost impossible egame
Dyche claimed he had no idea why he was booked in Everton’s 2-0 loss, which was sealed by a late brace from Mohamed Salah egame
He did not complain about the award of the penalty for the Egyptian’s opener, for handball against Michael Keane, but questioned the first caution Ashley Young received for his first-half red card, though he admitted the second was correct egame
But Konate’s reprieve, when the game was still goalless, bemused him egame
“I have no clue,” Dyche said egame
“I have asked the referee and he said he didn’t feel it was a bookable offence egame
I think people who were here today would be stunned it was not a second yellow egame
” Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp promptly replaced Konate and said afterwards that the Frenchman could have been sent off and that he understood Dyche’s frustration egame
“Jurgen couldn’t wait to get him off because he knows,” the Everton manager said egame
“Fair play egame
I think that is an honest view egame
I don’t want to bleat too much because we lost egame
I can’t remember the last time I spoke this openly about referees but that one is incredible to me egame
And I got a yellow card, I don’t know what for egame
” Dyche was annoyed by Pawson’s swift decision-making, explained: “I have seen the footage back and within a second he is saying, ‘No chance no chance egame
” You aren’t giving yourself thinking time egame
If you give yourself 10 seconds, you think, ‘That has to be a yellow’ egame
That is just bizarre to me egame
How that is not a second yellow is nearly impossible in the modern game egame
” Whereas Pawson was sent to the monitor to review the handball that led to the penalty, there is no scope for VAR to intervene for bookings but Dyche said: “I think there is where VAR should step in egame
In a game of this magnitude, I think VAR should be there to correct it egame
