England captain Jos Buttler has taken 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. 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.

Australia into top four after huge win. That was England’s heaviest ever defeat in terms of runs, while South Africa’s score of 7-399, featuring a glorious 61-ball hundred from Heinrich Klaasen, was a second undesired record. Buttler decided to send the opposition in under fiercely exacting conditions, with the temperature peaking at 36 degrees and exacerbated by high humidity. “I think you always reflect after games and question your decisions,” Buttler said.
