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.
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.
