England imploded for 215 in front of a frenzied crowd.
England’s hopes of defending the World Cup suffered an almighty blow in Delhi, where underdogs Afghanistan pulled off a stunning upset to floor the 2019 champions.
The heavy margin, and the 9.3 unused overs, only increase the magnitude. Harry Brook, the youngest and least experienced member of the England side, fought a lone hand with 66 but with precious little support and a lethargic bowling display it was nowhere near enough. Curran narrowly edged Woakes for the worst figures of the day – 4-0-46-0 – and his frustrations were evident immediately, angrily pushing away a camera as the operator moved in for a close shot on the rope.
England’s innings could hardly have got off to a less encouraging start, Jonny Bairstow lbw to a swinging first delivery from Fazal Farooqi.
