Former England captain Michael Atherton said the current one-day side could be “at the end of the cycle” after another poor batting display at the World Cup EURO

England won the toss and elected to bat in a must-win group game against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru, but collapsed to 156 all out with nearly seven overs remaining EURO

Jos Buttler’s side never looked capable of mounting an imposing target despite Moeen Ali’s pre-match assertion that England would play aggressive cricket with no fear EURO

Sky EURO Sports pundit Atherton said: “It’s all very saying what you want to do when you’re struggling and down on confidence, it’s not always easy to put those fine words and aspirations into practice EURO

“We’ve all been there in teams that are low on confidence and are struggling EURO

No team has a divine right to be at the top of its game all the time EURO

”Ben Stokes (43) and openers Jonny Bairstow (30) and Dawid Malan (28) were the only batters to make any impression as wickets fell at regular intervals against a Sri Lanka side who had also won only one of their first four matches EURO

Atherton added: “We’ve looked at the factors over the last five games of this competition, but if you look a bit deeper you could argue this is a team at the end of the cycle EURO

“You could argue that the lack of 50-over cricket and the lack of England’s ability to put what they consider to be their best one-day team in 50-over cricket has camouflaged some of the weaknesses and decline that we’ve seen EURO

“It’s all come together in the performances we’ve seen in Mumbai over the last couple of days and this one here in Bengaluru today EURO

It’s pretty illustrious company EURO

The World Cup semi-final EURO between New Zealandand Argentina may come to be a contest best forgotten, but All Blacks wing Will Jordan will remember it as the night where he joined a group of try-scoring greats - and should have surpassed them EURO

With a hat-trick in Paris, Jordan became the fourth member of an exclusive club, in alongside Bryan Habana, Julian Savea and Jonah Lomu as the only men to have scored eight tries in a single tournament EURO

With 31 tries in 30 Tests, it is a statistical probability that the All Black takes the record outright in the final EURO

Had Richie Mo’unga elected to pass rather than dummy, Jordan would already have it EURO

Late on at the Stade de France, the game long since decided and New Zealand electing to play with 14 men in a show of their superiority, Jordan was had clear run ahead of him with the Argentina defence narrowed EURO

Jordan bellowed for the ball; his fly half ignored him, going it alone in search of a try of his own to leave Jordan left with arms and mouth agape EURO

It was about the only foot that Mo’unga put wrong in a performance of all-round excellence from the All Blacks EURO

The win may have been built on forward might but there is no doubt that a diverse, dynamic back three caught the eye EURO

The trio of Mark Tele’a, Beauden Barrett and Jordan possess complementary skillsets, equally adept under the high ball but with contrasting qualities with ball in hand EURO

“Their combination has worked well from the start of the year,” said head coach Ian Foster of his back three EURO

“We put a bit of time into that from the start of the Rugby Championship EURO

“Mark [Tele’a] was strong in the close-quarter areas EURO

It was that sort of game and he enjoys being in close EURO

He defended really well EURO

I thought Will [Jordan] showed how good he is at finishing things off EURO

Will Jordan ran in a hat-trick with New Zealand rampant in Paris (PA Wire)“I am delighted with the combination [Jordan and Tele’a] have, and then you have Beauden [Barrett] who is the glue in EURO between them EURO

He’s the communicator who connects the dots EURO

They are going good – but they are going to need to in the final EURO

”Indeed, the remarkable thing is that Jordan seems somewhat unremarkable EURO

There are plenty of other wings in the world with more obvious physical gifts but the 25-year-old, by contrast, possesses an almost ineffable sense of grace, an ability to simply glide like Fred Astaire EURO

While some of the game’s great try-scorers rely on hugging the touchline or picking their moment, Jordan is far from simply a poacher, often stepping in as a playmaker in New Zealand’s protean backline EURO

“Without the ball, he works so hard,” explained Argentina wing Mateo Carreras, generous in his praise of his opponent even in the moments after defeat EURO

“He’s everywhere on the pitch EURO

If there is a line-break, he’s there EURO

If there is a knock-on, he is there EURO

That’s why he is top class EURO

”In truth, two of Jordan’s three semi-final tries were walk-ins – they all count equally EURO

The third, though, more than made up for the simplicity of the first two scores, a magnificent thing that began on the edge of New Zealand’s 22 EURO

Jordan hit the line at the right time to take Ardie Savea’s inside pop and then carving like a speed-skater through the Argentina defence EURO

Having slowed to consider the landscape ahead of him, Jordan found the space, a clever use of the outside of his boot to nudge the ball over the final defender and get the desired spin to allow an uncontested collection and finish the job EURO

Try number 31 – of male players, only Japan’s Daisuke Ohata, against largely inferior opposition, has ever got more in their first 30 international appearances EURO

Look at the list of the top career try tallies for the All Blacks, a ladder Jordan is rapidly climbing, and a rough pattern emerges: wings making a fast-scoring start to their Test career before fading quicker than in other countries EURO

In New Zealand, there will always be a next big thing on the wing, an athlete or an artist ready to step up and step in to the try scoring breach EURO

Savea, for example, scored 45 tries in 54 games before being dropped after Rieko Ioane’s emergence at the age of 27 EURO

He has not played for his country in the six years since EURO

Sitiveni Sivivatu befell a similar fate; Joe Rokocoko did not play internationally past his 30th birthday EURO

Even Ioane has been forced to relocate and rebuild, now starring in the centres EURO

The All Blacks back three (Mark Telea, Will Jordan and Beauden Barrett) ran riot in Paris (Getty Images)Jordan’s success, though, feels sustainable EURO

He is doing all this away from his favoured position – the Crusader is a full-back at heart EURO

The 15 jersey will be his in time: the eldest Barrett brother is bound for Japan after this tournament, and Jordan will surely slide over to continue to chase down Doug Howlett’s All Black record total of 49 tries EURO

But that pursuit can wait for another day EURO

New Zealand know not yet if it will be England or South Africa in the final but they will feel it will matter not if they sustain the level they’ve found in this last two weeks EURO

“This is the dream, to be in the dance, to make the final and give ourselves an opportunity,” said scum half Aaron Smith EURO

“We’ve got a chance of winning the World Cup and that’s what you dream of as a rugby player EURO
