England face the ignominy of exiting a major tournament at the group stage without a win for the first time.
Jos Buttler's reign as England's white-ball captain ended in a poor performance as they were dismissed for 179 in 38.2 overs against South Africa in a dead rubber Champions Trophy match. Buttler, who announced his resignation before the match, scored 21 as England suffered their second consecutive defeat, leading to their early elimination from the tournament for the first time without a win. South Africa advanced to the semi-finals, while Afghanistan couldn't overtake them on net run rate. South Africa's bowler, Marco Jansen, took three early wickets and made a crucial catch, while England's key players struggled, with Buttler and others failing to make significant contributions.
