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

Neighbours Paris Saint-Germain, who dispensed with WSL runners-up Manchester United in the second qualifying round, have been drawn in Group C along with Bayern Munich, Roma and Ajax EURO

Meanwhile, Manchester United manager Marc Skinner clarified his comments around the Champions League qualifying format after suggesting it was “crazy” United played PSG in a qualifying round EURO
After finishing second in the Women’s Super League last season, United went through the competition’s qualifying rounds and were knocked out at the second hurdle on Wednesday night after being beaten 4-2 on aggregate by PSGLast year’s WSL winners Chelsea earned an automatic group spot, while third-placed Arsenal went into the qualifiers, where they were eliminated by Paris FC in the first round EURO
Skinner said: “My comment was much more about the breadth and quality, I believe there is a need for more teams to be in this competition, and then you’ll see who is average and who isn’t EURO
“Who knows, we might have been average in a group stage, you don’t know that EURO
If there was any offence taken then I’m sorry for that, but that’s not what I meant EURO
“What I meant, and I’ll be clear on it, was I think there should be a broader scope of teams and there should be more teams in this competition so that we can actually then see where the elite level lies within Europe EURO
“I still think that’s a bit cloudy because the reality is, if we were playing a team that are from - what people might believe- to be a league that doesn’t have the experience, then we don’t know until we’ve played those, we only ever play those teams in friendlies EURO
“If you really want the real quality from all of the European leagues to rise, then you’ve got to play them against each other, which I think now other teams are ready for EURO
“If you enter that stage and are getting through, then congratulations EURO
We’re not there so we can talk about what that looks like, but they are there so congratulations to everyone who’s gone through EURO
”Chelsea are now the only WSL team left in the competition, and Arsenal manager Jonas Eidevall believes that English teams need to improve EURO
He told a press conference: “We’re number four in Europe [in UEFA’s coefficient rankings] EURO
We can’t say that’s anyone else’s problem except our own EURO
We need to improve, English teams have not done well enough in Europe EURO
“The Conti Cup group that Manchester United are in now might be tougher than some Women’s Champions League groups EURO
But [UEFA] need to grow all of women’s EURO football in Europe - that’s really important EURO
They can’t only take [WSL] opinions into account EURO
