England's Cricket World Cup defence is over after old rivals Australia added the final nail with a 33-run victory in Ahmedabad.
England was already all but out, but a fifth miserable defeat in succession and a sixth in total ended any hope of a freak turnaround.
The defeat leaves England bottom of the table with two matches still to play, the first against the Netherlands on Wednesday before their tournament concludes against Pakistan on Saturday.
Their attention now turns to attempting to avoid the embarrassment of failing to qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy by finishing outside the top eight in India.
Meanwhile, Australia is on the brink of securing their semi-final place and moving on buoyed by having ended the reign of their Ashes foes.
In another matche, New Zealand beat Pakistan by 21 runs.
In today's match, India will face South Africa at 8.30pm.
India is now leading the Cricket World Cup table with 14 points while South Africa is second with 12 points and Australia is third with 10 points.
