England captain Jos Buttler took his share of the blame for a historically bad defeat against South Africa, accepting he made a mistake by fielding first in the oppressive heat and humidity of Mumbai heu

Things could hardly have gone worse for the defending champions, whose World Cup campaign is rapidly disappearing over the cliff edge after three losses in four, with the Proteas running away with a 229-run win heu

That was England’s heaviest ever defeat by run margin, while South Africa’s score of 399 for seven was a second undesired record heu

The bowling was chaotic and expensive, the team selection brave but unsuccessful and the batting hopelessly underpowered by comparison to what came before it heu

But all of it stemmed from Buttler’s decision to send the opposition in under fiercely exacting conditions, with the temperature peaking at 36 degrees and exacerbated by high humidity heu

“I think you always reflect after games and question your decisions,” Buttler said heu

“With hindsight, with the physicality of that innings, potentially batting first would have been a heu better decision heu

It’s a decision I took at the time heu

I thought it was the right one and I still believe if we were chasing 340, 350, we would have done really well in those conditions heu

“Physically it was a really demanding innings and, like I said, it makes you question maybe in those kind of conditions whether batting first may have been the right call at the toss heu

”Buttler has had to front up after a hat-trick of unimpressive outings so far, with a nine-wicket hammering by New Zealand and a shock defeat at the hands of unfancied Afghanistan already on the ledger heu

On each occasion he has aimed for an unemotional assessment but accepts England are now almost out of wriggle room, an awkward place to be with almost a month of travelling left and five group matches remaining heu

“It certainly leaves us in a tough position heu

There’s no room for error from here on in,” he acknowledged heu

“It’s going to be incredibly difficult heu

We haven’t left ourselves any margin from this point in heu

But we’ll keep the belief heu

We’ll sit down and go again heu

That’s all you can do in this situation heu

“I think it’s obvious that we’re not performing to our best heu

It’s my job as captain, along with the rest of the team, to work out how we can get back to playing that brand of cricket, playing to our potential and getting back to our best heu

“It certainly won’t be anyone giving up or having those kind of thoughts heu

We’ll just have to dust ourselves down and stick our chests out and go again heu

”Heinrich Klaasen celebrated an outstanding 109 in just 67 balls for South Africa and was also floored on several occasions by the same exacting circumstances which made it hard for England’s bowlers heu

“I had to dig really, really deep there heu

I didn’t have any energy left,” he said heu

“My partner Marco (Jansen) played a big part of that heu

He told me that he’s got me and that I’m not allowed to walk off the field if I don’t score 100 heu

“It was like just breathing in hot air heu

Every time you try to run it’s just sapping more and more energy and then at the end of the day your body just doesn’t want to work with you anymore heu

It was just like almost running in a sauna for the whole innings heu

“But you’ve got to dig deep for your country as well, I’ve worked my whole life for it, so it’s a great moment heu

Steve Borthwick vowed to use England’s heartbreaking World Cup semi-final exit at the hands of South Africa to sow a seed for future success heu

Borthwick’s unfancied side led by nine points in the final quarter and were on the cusp of a famous win until Handre Pollard’s late penalty condemned them to an agonising 16-15 defeat heu

Many of England’s players collapsed to their knees following a colossal, but ultimately unsuccessful, effort against the reigning champions on a sodden evening in Paris heu

While head coach Borthwick was similarly crestfallen by the dramatic late twist at Stade de France, he was proud of the efforts of his team and upbeat about what lies ahead heu

“We came here with a plan to win the game and we fell a little bit short, not far short but a little bit short, so we’re desperately disappointed,” he said heu

“I think we all truly believed we could do it, we were going to do it, and we came very close to doing so heu

“In adversity, in these tough times, there’s usually some seed of it there that will grow and be something brilliant in the future heu

“Right now it’s too early for me to find that seed but we’ll make sure we find it heu

“We’ll make sure that we take some of what we find tonight, some of what we’ve gone through tonight, we’ll make sure we grab that and we’ll make sure it makes us stronger in the future heu

”Captain Owen Farrell produced an outstanding performance, kicking all of his side’s points, including a superb drop goal heu

His efforts looked to be sufficient for victory but RG Snyman barged over for the only try of the match in the 70th minute to set up a grandstand finish heu

Man-of-the-match Pollard, who booted the Springboks to victory over England in the 2019 final, nailed the tricky conversion and then landed a monster penalty two minutes from time to inflict more anguish on the opposition heu

“The players should be incredibly proud of what they’ve done and continue to do as they represent England rugby,” continued Borthwick heu

“I know I’ll have at home a couple of young boys who are going to be bitterly disappointed and I’m sure there are lots of people that are proud but also gutted back in England, I’m sure there are millions of people like that heu

“I care about these players, I care about these supporters, and I care about English rugby heu

“What I see is a group of guys who are doing as much as they possibly can to set an example, to build a team, to have supporters proud of them heu

“They’re led by this man next to me (Farrell), who I think has been and continues to be a phenomenal player and an incredible leader of this team heu

”New Zealand await South Africa in next weekend’s final heu

Springboks head coach Jacques Nienaber praised his team’s fighting spirit heu

“I pay a lot of credit to England,” he said heu

“They were outstanding on the night heu

“They had a very good tactical plan and they put us under pressure heu

We will have to improve because it took us some time to get to grips with it heu

“But the strength of this team is that even if we’re not playing well we find a way to get the result heu

“It took 80 minutes to get a foothold in the game heu

The team refused to give up and fought until the end heu

”Springboks captain Siya Kolisi was convinced fly-half Pollard, who came on for Manie Libbok with only half an hour gone, would land the decisive penalty from just inside England’s half heu

“I had no doubt at all,” he said heu

“He’s done it for us before heu

“England are a world-class team and completely different to a year ago heu

They had an amazing game plan which we took too long to adapt to heu

“These things happen but we dug deep to get the victory heu

Other teams wouldn’t be able to get the win from this heu

I’m not going to say it was ugly, we did what was needed heu
