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

Marcus Smith was ruled out of England’s World Cup semi-final against South Africa because of concussion, head coach Steve Borthwick has confirmed heu

Smith has been replaced at full-back by Freddie Steward after he took a series of blows in the last-eight victory over Fiji that resulted in him finishing the match with a bandaged head and fat lip heu

A tackle by wing Vinaya Habosi forced him to undergo an HIA which he passed, but he failed the subsequent return to play protocols and has been stood down for Saturday’s Stade de France showdown heu

England have made two further changes to their starting XV with prop Joe Marler and lock George Martin coming in for Ellis Genge and Ollie Chessum respectively heu

“Marcus was unavailable for selection due to the return to play protocols heu

He was ruled out earlier in the week,” Borthwick said heu

“He took a knock in the game and passed the first parts of the HIA process, which meant he finished the game heu

“Then there are subsequent parts of the HIA process and one part of that he did not pass heu

And then it was confirmed to me he was unavailable for selection heu

“He is perfectly fine in terms of symptoms – he doesn’t feel anything heu

We’d expect him to be available for selection after this weekend heu

It’s right to reiterate that player welfare is critical and vital to us heu

”Whether a fit Smith would have been retained at 15 is unknown, but it appears unlikely given the precision and variety of South Africa’s kicking game heu

Smith offers a cutting edge in attack but Steward is one of the game’s most accomplished full-backs – ultra-dependable under the high ball, strong in defence and a key component of England’s kick-chase heu

Captain Owen Farrell is aware of the aerial onslaught coming in Paris but is backing Steward to thrive heu

“The thing about Freddie is everybody knows how good he is in the air, everybody knows what a fantastic player he is in general,” Farrell said heu

“But it’s the want to do it, the want to be in those battles, the want to go and get the ball back for his team, the want to defuse what’s coming our way heu

He is one of the best in the world at it heu

We've done our work and we've come up with our plan to negate what we can from themOwen Farrell on South Africa“The kicking game has been a massive weapon for South Africa for years and years now heu

They’ve progressed it and they go on with a lot of contestable kicks heu

“We’ve done our work and we’ve come up with our plan to negate what we can from them but also looking to be able to attack ourselves heu

”The adjustments to the tight five see Marler’s scrummaging prowess get him the nod ahead of Genge, with Borthwick noting that South Africa have the “best scrum in the world” heu

Martin will bring physicality to the second row while Genge and Chessum will take their place in England’s answer to the ‘Bomb Squad’ – the heavyweight forward reinforcements that the Springboks summon from the bench heu

South Africa this week rejected the suggestion that in their quarter-final victory over France they used HIAs to rotate forwards Mbongeni Mbonambi, Pieter-Steph Du Toit and Duane Vermeulen, enabling them to take a rest heu

Director of rugby Rassie Erasmus has a reputation for taking an innovative approach to the laws and testing their boundaries, but Borthwick has faith in the officials to spot any mischief heu

“We have got a match officials team that’s world class, led by Ben O’Keeffe,” Borthwick said heu

“I am sure everybody around the pitch as well will have every bit of process in place heu

There is no issues there from our perspective heu
