    Humiliating. I don't think many people would argue with that. Unsurprisingly, the group table makes sorry reading for England and their supporters. They will now scrap around with Scotland and Afghanistan for the wooden spoon. New Zealand are guaranteed to finish first but second, third and fourth are yet to be decided between Australia, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

    And so, on the day the Tigers roared, England went out with the faintest of miaows. Eoin Morgan and his men are flying home at the earliest opportunity and England's wait for the World Cup trophy goes on for another four years. Have a read of Stephan Shemilt's match report if you can bear it. From us, and from England, it's thank you and goodnight.

  3. 'Left behind by IPL'published at 12:56 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2015

    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    "I don't think we have any outstanding batsman and bowler. Jimmy Anderson is a class act in English conditions, he's just a decent bowler abroad when it doesn't move. These aren't all bad players, there is a number who haven't played well. A lot of players play IPL around the world and these sort of things mean we are left behind. You can blame the administrators down the years but they are faceless people who have moved on now. The game has moved on, just like it has in tennis and golf where they hit the ball faster and further."

    "There is an appetite to change things, but you can't go round sacking people willy-nilly. It's going to be root and branch. This is a very complicated business but that's no reason to duck it."

  6. 'There's a bigger picture than me' - Moorespublished at 12:49 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2015

    Peter Moores, speaking at his news conference: "Every day you look at if you could have got it right. Now, you feel hollow inside and hugely disappointed.

    "It's not my decision if I'm given time. I'm here to try to make a difference. You can't look too far ahead. We should have won that game and we should take that on the chin.

    "I understand why people would think I'm not he right man, but it's a bigger picture than that. We haven't played good ODI cricket for a while. We brought what we thought were an exciting group of players, young. There's work to do. The players aren't bad players, but we haven't played well enough.

    "We prepared well. We covered the right stuff, but we haven't played well. We have to take that."

    Aggers and Boycs are chewing over the bones on 5 live now. The new chairman is suitably named, Graves, quips Aggers, in reference to the incoming ECB chief.

    Will this increase the clamour for Kevin Pietersen's return? You bet it will.

  9. 'England need foreign coach'published at 12:43 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2015

    Jonathan Agnew
    BBC Test Match Special

    "I'd like to se an overseas coach brought in, which is easier said than done with the lure of the IPL paying huge salaries for short commitments. English cricket is still floundering around in the dark ages."

  10. Damning statisticspublished at 12:42 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2015

    Just to underline how badly England have performed at this tournament, their highest wicket-taker is Chris Woakes who has five victims in five games at an average of 46.80. Stuart Broad? Three wickets at 79. James Anderson? Four wickets at 57. Two against Scotland, two against Bangladesh.

    In terms of the batting, Ian Bell scored the most runs (210 at an average of 42), but only Moeen Ali and Jos Buttler scored their runs at more than a run a ball.

  11. 'Catalogue of mistakes'published at 12:40 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2015

    Geoffrey Boycott
    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    "This World Cup has been catalogue of mistakes. Alex Hales was playing in Sri Lanka then he doesn't play for weeks. Gary Ballance comes in, we have seen Steven Finn playing poorly for a long time, there was the sacking of KP and not telling the public the full reasons. Sticking with Cook for far too long as captain. The whole thing is a mess, and when you keep making mistakes you can't expect the players to suddenly turn it on and play well in a World Cup."

    So, those are my three words to describe England's campaign. Here are some of yours:

    The Clyde Alloy: Totally beyond pathetic.

    John Fuller: Laughable. Embarrassing. Typical.

    Bob White: Playing 1990's cricket.

    Jarv: Uninspiring, predictable cricket.

    David Stamp: Moores must go.

    Chaz Brooks: Antiquated. Lacklustre. Rudderless.

    I think this might be the closest I ever get to being one of the forensic scientists on Silent Witness, picking through the insides of a corpse. Because let's get this straight, the England one-day side was a dead man walking from the moment the first ball was bowled against Australia in their tournament opener on February 14. Outmoded. Outthought. Awful.

  14. Morgan still wants to play Testspublished at 12:32 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2015

    BBC Sport's Stephan Shemilt is at Eoin Morgan's news conference now. Here are some of the top lines:

    "I can't put my finger on it. Performances are huge. You need weight of runs and guys building pressure with the ball. We haven't done that."

    "I still aspire to play Tests. I enjoyed being captain. I've learnt a lot about myself."

    "Performing under pressure comes from confidence. The performances have been run-of-the-mill, they haven't always been under pressure."

    On Twitter, we're asking you to sum up England's World Cup campaign in three words. Get cracking.

  16. Reaction - Peter Moorespublished at 12:30 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2015

    England coach Peter Moores, speaking to TMS: "We have had changes to our team over the past seven or eight months and that is part of what has happened. We weren't a settled team - we would have liked to have been but we weren't. It meant exposing some young players to a World Cup, and that has always got a risk to it. That doesn't mean they are not talented or good players, but we have to play better and more consistently to move our one day cricket forward."

  17. Recappublished at 12:29 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2015

    Just joining us? Firstly, where have you been? Secondly, do you really want to know what happened?

    Well, those of us who were here at 03:30 GMT witnessed James Anderson getting England off to an absolute flyer with two wickets in his first two overs. Bangladesh rallied, through a fine century by Mahmudullah, to post a competitive 275-7, but we still expected England to win, didn't we?

    It looked pretty rosy at 97-1 and then at 121-2, but when Ian Bell and Eoin Morgan fell within three balls of each other the wheels really started to come off. Jos Buttler and Chris Woakes made a game of it, but Buttler's wicket, Chris Jordan's agonising run out and two tracer bullets from Rubel Hossain saw Bangladesh romp home by 15 runs in the penultimate over.

  18. 'I can still make a difference'published at 12:28 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2015

    At the end of his interview with Sky, Peter Moores said he believed he could still make a difference as England coach but stressed he will take time to reflect on this exit.

  19. 'We are not overloaded with good players'published at 12:27 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2015

    Here's more from England head coach Peter Moores, who was speaking to Sky Sports...

    On what England are lacking: "We had no left-arm seamers and no left-arm spinners. And we have not got a bank of them left at home either. The reality is we are not overloaded with a lot of high-class one-day players back at home."

    Playing the right brand? "I don't know if we are playing the right brand. You want your players to be exposed at a high level of cricket early on…

    "You have got to be powerful, athletic, dynamic. Those are areas we have got to look at as a country, not just this team."

  20. Player reactionpublished at 12:27 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2015

    England captain Eoin Morgan, speaking to TMS: "It was poor chase - we lost wickets in the middle period. I was happy with how we started, but losing me and Ian in the same over and James Taylor a couple of overs later didn't help. But we still believed we could win with the capabilities we had. But ultimately we have underperformed again today. It is pretty dour in the dressing-room. To be knocked out of a World Cup so early, when expectations of ourselves and our supporters are a lot higher. Any day you get knocked out of a World Cup early is a low moment - it is a pretty bad day."
