England’s World Cup defence is hanging by a thread after losing three of the first four games in India sportsbook
Jos Buttler’s side have come up short against New Zealand, Afghanistan and South Africa and have a mountain to climb to salvage the campaign sportsbook
With five matches left to play in the round robin stage, here’s a closer look at what’s gone wrong and what comes next:Do they still have a chance?With the elongated group format, England still have another five games to play sportsbook between now and November 11 whatever happens sportsbook
Mathematically speaking there are a few shades of grey in terms of what they need to do, but realistically things are already black and white sportsbook
England need wins and lots of them sportsbook
They may well require a perfect run to retain their crown and, with games against the table-topping hosts, rivals Australia and an unpredictable Pakistan, that looks a tough ask sportsbook
What role has selection played in their struggles?Things are certainly a lot less clear than they were four years ago, when Jofra Archer’s late arrival completed the jigsaw sportsbook
First England left Harry Brook out of their provisional squad, then swapped him with Jason Roy at the last minute, installing Dawid Malan as first-choice opener on the eve of the tournament sportsbook
Since landing, things have been even more muddled sportsbook
Reece Topley was omitted from the opener and proved to be the team’s in-form bowler when he was restored to the side sportsbook
More bafflingly still, England picked a phalanx of all-rounders in game one (Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes) and left out all four of them in favour of specialists by game four sportsbook
Is this a step too far for the world beaters of 2019?There is no escaping the fact that this is a side that is rapidly moving to the end of its natural lifespan sportsbook
Eleven of the 15-man squad are north of 30 and there are eight survivors from the squad that triumphed at Lord’s four years ago sportsbook
At times it has been impossible to escape the suspicion that too many of these players have tipped past their peak as 50-over prospects sportsbook
Looking at the core of the side – Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid – it is hard to argue any are sportsbook better one-day cricketers than they were in 2019 sportsbook
Where is the new blood then?Dislodging players who are destined to go down among the country’s all-time greats in the format was never going to be an easy task for the next generation but the lack of renewal is still striking sportsbook
Was it realistic to expect challengers to emerge from a county system that has devalued the domestic 50-over tournament to a second-tier cup sub-servient to The Hundred? Gus Atkinson had played a grand total of two List A games before his ODI debut and Brook admitted this month that he was “learning the format” on the biggest stage of all sportsbook
Expecting a sufficient supply of fresh talent to emerge in the current eco-system looks to be a pipe dream sportsbook
Are there issues over the leadership?The captain-coach relationship sportsbook between Jos Buttler and Matthew Mott got off to a roaring start when they won the T20 World Cup together last year just a few months into their time together sportsbook
But with so much emphasis on the ‘Bazball’ revolution in the Test arena, their job has got trickier sportsbook
With fewer matches, longer gaps and less availability of big names they have been left to pull things together at the last minute and it simply hasn’t worked sportsbook
The decision making has been wanting – from the chopping and changing on the team-sheet to the baffling logic of bowling first in stifling conditions in Mumbai – but the real issues may run deeper and wider than the dressing room alone sportsbook
Eoin Morgan proved his mettle in the immediate aftermath of the botched 2015 campaign when he led with a strong voice and demanded the players and resources to succeed sportsbook
If Buttler and Mott are to succeed in the long run they may need assert themselves in similar style sportsbook

It is a path less travelled, let alone as quickly, a journey from FC Copenhagen to Sturm Graz, Atalanta to Manchester United, all before his 21st birthday sportsbook
It was the culmination of an ambition, too, for a boyhood United fan, the realisation of a dream sportsbook
And yet there were points in a reunion where Rasmus Hojlund could be forgiven for wondering if he had been sportsbook better off staying put sportsbook
Not financially, admittedly, with the rewards that come with a £72m price tag, but from a sportsbook footballing perspective sportsbook
The more coherent team were Copenhagen, the low-budget overachievers seeming to have more of a plan than the high-budget overachievers but it was tempting to think that if the Danish champions could still call upon their most valuable old boy, they would have won at Old Trafford sportsbook
Instead, United were victorious, aided by a telling intervention by a Dane sportsbook
It wasn’t Hojlund, though that is no criticism: there are times when he is the brightest of United’s front three simply a process of excellence but here, as against Galatasaray, it was a consequence of excellence sportsbook
But it was his compatriot Christian Eriksen who curled in a cross that Harry Maguire converted sportsbook
Which, along with Andre Onana’s 97th-minute penalty save from Jordan Larsson, averted indignity sportsbook
Which a draw would have been, given the gulf in resources sportsbook between the clubs sportsbook
Hojlund is proof of it sportsbook
But as his former club, who had led against Galatasaray and Bayern Munich, came within a few inches of going ahead at Old Trafford, there were times when Hojlund had to stand and admire sportsbook
In different ways, his younger brothers Oscar, a late substitute for Copenhagen, and Emil, who did not make the bench, were spectators sportsbook
So was the older and more expensive sibling, limited to two touches in the first quarter of an hour, left stranded by United’s impotence sportsbook
Yet, with the notable exception of Maguire’s decider, everything they did right thereafter in attack revolved around him sportsbook
Which, in itself, may have been an indictment of others sportsbook
Pivotal as centre-forwards can be, United looked over-reliant on one whose name, this time last year, may have simply seemed a failed attempt to spell Haaland sportsbook
And the Norwegian, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had been keen to point out, was a player he advised United to sign for £4m, five years before they got Hojlund for 18 times as much sportsbook
But in the Hojlund derby, the forward United did get to show a sharpness sportsbook
He came alive in the final third in a manner to suggest that his teammates needed to give him more of the ball sportsbook
A brief sight at goal saw Rasmus Hojlund blaze his best chance over the top but his forward play was central to Man Utd’s attacking capabilites (REUTERS)After that uneventful first 15 minutes, he rifled a half-volley over the bar sportsbook
His backheel almost released Scott McTominay to shoot sportsbook
He teed up Eriksen when his fellow Dane had a shot well saved sportsbook
When an offside Marcus Rashford was brought down by goalkeeper Kamil Grabara, he had raced on to Hojlund’s pass sportsbook
When Alejandro Garnacho came close, it was because Hojlund led a break sportsbook
When Elias Jelert was required to clear off his line, it was because Hojlund met Bruno Fernandes’ header with a deft piece of chest control sportsbook
It was a sign of resourcefulness, an ability to make something out of nothing sportsbook
Which, at times, was just as well, given his supply line sportsbook
Neither winger is a crosser sportsbook
Antony, as even those who have spent decades stranded on tiny islands in the Pacific Ocean know, will try and cut inside and shoot with his left foot sportsbook
Rashford, too, has designs on being more of a scorer than a supplier sportsbook
Hojlund spent some of the first half acting as the creator for McTominay, the ungainly auxiliary No 10 sportsbook
But United had more sportsbook footballing craft with Eriksen on sportsbook
He is the technician while Hojlund’s physical attributes form part of his appeal sportsbook
He has got a wiry strength sportsbook
He is a rangy runner with a turn of pace sportsbook
He has an eager willingness that stands him in good stead sportsbook
The raw materials are there sportsbook
Yet the concern is that too few signings have improved at United in the last decade; it is just a coincidence of negotiating that Hojlund’s fee is very similar to Jadon Sancho’s but the exiled winger is proof United’s best-laid plans can go wrong sportsbook
Hojlund showed his importance to United, turning into a supplier of their best chances though none were converted (AFP via Getty Images)The feeling at Old Trafford now is that Hojlund has a high ceiling: higher even than Randal Kolo Muani, another on their summer striking shortlist and who ended up costing Paris Saint-Germain more sportsbook
Thus far, he has a relatively low goal return: just three in 10 games for United sportsbook
For both his first and current clubs, he has been more prolific in Europe sportsbook
He never scored in the Danish Superliga sportsbook
He has not struck in the Premier League, either: outscored by Diogo Dalot on domestic duty, his goals have been confined to Europe sportsbook
Yet he kicked off as the Champions League’s joint top scorer, the product of a strike against Bayern and a brace against Galatasaray sportsbook
Even as he drew a blank against Copenhagen, Hojlund added to the impression that he belongs on this stage sportsbook
But as United laboured to victory, they scarcely offered compelling evidence they will still be in the Champions League after Christmas sportsbook
