Eoin Morgan urged England to revert to type after a shock World Cup defeat by Sri Lanka cast doubt over their ability to reach the semi-finals. Worryingly for England, they have not defeated any of that trio at a World Cup since 1992, although they did manage tie with India in Bangalore eight years ago. Sri Lanka’s total of 232-9 did not appear to leave England, yet to win the World Cup, with an especially stiff chase on Friday. “Obviously we would love him in the side, he’s a huge strength at the top of the order,” said Morgan. But the stakes for England have been raised by a fourth successive loss to Sri Lanka in as many World Cups.
