Your support makes all the difference.England have already crashed out of the Cricket World Cup, which was sealed by the 33-run defeat to Australia, but restored a small amount of pride with a 160-run win over the Netherlands.
That will hopefully have restored some pride to a side that hit rock bottom during the defeat to Pat Cummins’ side, and it has kept them in the hunt for the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025, with only the top eight qualifying for that event.
The victory over the Netherlands has moved England from the foot of the table into seventh place.
There will be plenty of time after the tournament for a full analysis of how England’s title defence could go so disastrously wrong with very few warning signs before the squad departed for India, but for now there is a chance to qualify for the next ICC event, with a game against Pakistan to come on 11 November.

England 191-5 (35) Stokes 35, Ali 4
De Leede has kapt that over tight, just the three runs from it as England continue to tick along in Pune.
England 188-5 (34) Stokes 32, Ali 4
Stokes and Ali are still there even though the scoring rate has slowed, but that might be just what England need at the moment.
They have to bat their overs.
England 180-5 (31) Stokes 28, Ali 1
At the start, with Malan playing nicely it might not have looked like Stokes was going to have to do another rescue job, but that is the situation they have found themselves in.
Buttler has been unable to score, Brook has done no better than Livingstone who he was brought on to replace and yet again Moeen and Stokes are in to try and edge England towards a competitive total.
It’s a small ground and a flat pitch so there is no excuse. There are 19 overs left.
Wicket! Buttler out for 5! - England 178-5
Buttler has been horrific form and I’m not sure he will want to watch that one again either!
He has meekly chipped the ball to mid on and has to depart.
England 178-4 (30) Stokes 27, Buttler 5
England will not be any strangers to Colin Ackermann who has been playing his domestic cricket in the County Championship for Leicestershire.
Stokes is going alright here, at almost a run-a-ball, but Buttler has struggled as much as any England batter in this tournament.
Wicket! Harry Brook out for 11 - England 164-4
Brook has not had a great World Cup, and it was captured with that! he goes for a big shot but picks out the player in the deep and as they have done so often in the tournament, England have lost another wicket.
The Netherlands have fought back with three wickets for 31 runs.
England 164-3 (26) Stokes 17, Brook 11
Stokes has hit a stunning drive down the ground for four, that was up there with the best of the drives seen so far in the match.
He follows it up with another fluent boundary the following over, this time through the off side.
England 149-3 (24) Stokes 5, Brook 9
Stokes and Brook have to steady the innings, but it is also an opportunity for them.
Stokes, to build on his 64 against India, and for Brook, who has come back into the team for this match, a chance to impress on the big stage.
Wicket! Malan out for 87 - England 139-3
That was a poor mix up!
Dawid Malan has to depart, it was a running mix up and the in-form batter is run out just 13 runs short of what would have been his second century of the tournament.
Wicket! Root out for 28 - England 133-2
Root has gone!
He has gone for a trademark scoop, but it was too pre-meditated, he hesitated trying to play the shot and has gone for 28 runs!
That ball went straight through the legs of Root as he tried to pull out of the shot at the last minute, but from that position was left with very few options.
