All out for a pathetic 113, England were then humiliated as the home side took the game in a masterly 12.1 overs.
After a series of bland pitches the England batsmen were simply unable to cope with a wicket which had genuine bounce which was aided by the lofty height of the home side's faster bowlers.
Like incompetent schoolboys, they fended chest high balls away - most of which they had no need to play at all - and saw their wickets collapse to straightforward catches.
We have got accustomed to huge batting collapses in the test squad - they have been the order of the day for around five years - but this is not expected from the highest ranked ODI team in the world.
