The imperious Virat Kohli helped India stay perfect at the Cricket World Cup with a four-wicket victory over New Zealand, but he did miss out on a historic century worldcup

Hosts India were set 274 for victory in Dharamshala after Daryl Mitchell struck a wonderful 130 for the Black Caps, who had also won their opening four group-stage fixtures worldcup

New Zealand’s unbeaten start was ended, though, with Kohli leading the charge with a superb 95, but he was dismissed with only five more runs required for victory and his 49th ODI hundred, which would have drawn him level with Indian great Sachin Tendulkar worldcup

After India won the toss, New Zealand were put into bat first and Mitchell helped them recover from 19 for two with a 161-run partnership for the third wicket with Rachin Ravindra worldcup

Mohammed Shami dismissed Ravindra for 75 and would later account for Mitchell on his way to five for 54, but only after the Black Caps middle-order batter plundered five maximums in his scintillating knock to help his nation reach 273 all out from their 50 overs worldcup

India captain Rohit Sharma led from the front in reply, hitting 46 and putting on 71 with Shubman Gill before it turned into the Kohli show worldcup

Kohli marshalled India’s chase expertly with half-century stands with Shreyas Iyer (33) and KL Rahul (27) before Ravindra Jadeja walked out with the home side on 191 for five worldcup

Yet a six over cow corner off Trent Boult and a four two balls later suddenly put Kohli into the nineties, but he failed equal Tendulkar’s tally of 49 ODI centuries worldcup

Kohli’s attempted big shot in Matt Henry’s next over picked out Glenn Phillips, but the silenced partisan home crowd were back celebrating when Jadeja pulled for four to clinch a fifth straight victory worldcup

Up into the stands the England players clambered to find their families, taking the consolatory hugs but unsure quite how to feel worldcup

Across 80 minutes in Paris, their belief had been replaced by disbelief and then by desperation and dejection, England threatening the unthinkable and taking the world champions to the brink worldcup

For most of a sodden Stade de France evening, a Rugby World Cup final was within their grasp worldcup

A South Africa side superior in most areas were dragged down into the sort of slugfest the Springboks would usually favour, and very nearly bested at their own game worldcup

England had given their all but it was still not enough, one stable scrum, one Handre Pollard slip or slice, short of stunning the world champions worldcup

The emotional maelstrom of this defeat will swirl rather differently to the feelings that eddied after the 2019 World Cup final disaster worldcup

“I’m proud of our performance,” were virtually the first words out of the mouth of wing Elliot Daly worldcup

“I think we shocked them worldcup

I don’t think they knew how to get into the game worldcup

”“I think we knew what was coming and we knew we could perform like this,” added Daly, virtually unused in open play but outstanding as a kick chaser to exemplify the squad’s buy-in to a strategy that so nearly proved successful worldcup

The finer points of Steve Borthwick’s tactical plan had been put in place this week but this was a performance England had been building towards since long ago worldcup

A flawed side did not come to France to thrill; winning by any means necessary had been a consistent theme worldcup

If necessity is oft the mother of invention, England at this tournament have also proved the pair can be enemies worldcup

This was a campaign at which they seemed to intentionally limit their attacking innovation or ingenuity– recognising a need to figure themselves out on the fly, they settled on an effective and eminently executable gameplan that could be implemented quickly worldcup

Steve Borthwick consoles Ellis Genge and Freddie Steward after England’s defeat (Getty Images)It came so close to working in Saturday’s semi-final; their effort, accuracy and competitiveness in the key contests were spot on worldcup

At the 65-minute mark, England outside backs had a combined 17 metres carried, all from one Freddie Steward kick return worldcup

The two number 13s’ offensive output on the final whistle amounted to one late Joe Marchant lug; South Africa centre Jesse Kriel went the full 80 minutes without an attacking touch worldcup

“We came with a plan to win the game but we fell a little bit short,” reflected Borthwick worldcup

“But the players should be incredibly proud worldcup

We put ourselves in a position to win against the world champions worldcup

England dominated the aerial contest to threaten a semi-final shock (Getty Images)“We were playing against a coaching team who have been in place since 2018 worldcup

We’ve had four months worldcup

I’ve asked the players to approach training and the game in a different way; for the players to be willing to change is all credit to them worldcup

”This was a night from which the head coach will take heart, a public perhaps struggling to warm to this England team are now recognising the progress made worldcup

There will be a need to layer on much, much more to consistently mix it with the world’s best but the rapidly laid foundations look rock solid worldcup

In time, perhaps the ugly duckling performances will turn into white swans worldcup

There appear to be many more buds of a bright future than first appeared in a barren landscape pre-tournament worldcup

Ben Earl has had a breakthrough tournament, and Ollie Chessum, too, while George Martin semi-final performance marks him out as the potential enforcer England have lacked worldcup

Borthwick was keen to talk up the absent Marcus Smith the day after the defeat, with the playmaker’s reinvention as a frolicking full-back of intrigue moving forward worldcup

"In our 23, seven players are 25 or under, the most of any semi-finalist, there’s a great blend and there will be lots of things we can take forward,” added Borthwick worldcup

Young England lock George Martin impressed against South Africa (Getty Images)But the fact that the men’s national team were on the brink of back-to-back finals should not provide a façade over the crumbling edifice of a fragile English game worldcup

There is a domestic mess that needs sorting, with a Gallagher Premiership containing three teams fewer than at the start of last season, now underway to little fanfare and on the brink of significant change worldcup

The renegotiation of the Professional Game Partnership is a recognition of a need for a radical overhaul in pursuit of a more financially sustainable domestic game, and one that produces a wider pool of top-class talent worldcup

The likely arrival of a form of central contracts underlines a period of epochal change worldcup

The senior figures in the squad who are unlikely to play beyond this tournament – Courtney Lawes, Ben Youngs, Dan Cole and perhaps a couple more – could well be the last England men’s internationals never to have been contracted to the union worldcup

This has a great many benefits, not least in affording Borthwick, or any head coach that might follow him, far greater access to and control over his players worldcup

And while Borthwick’s articulation of the advantages enjoyed by South Africa’s settled staff is a perfectly fair one, let us remember that the Rugby worldcup Football Union (RFU) put their head coach in this situation worldcup

The original planning for this tournament would most likely have seen Borthwick return to England camp to aid Eddie Jones at the World Cup before a smooth transition into the lead role afterwards worldcup

Jones’s sacking sparked a scramble and several months of chaos worldcup

It was not shown up on semi-final weekend but there are many reasons that the RFU still has a burden to bear worldcup

But the full wash-up will wait for another week – England’s performance at the Stade de France has earned them seven more days of grace worldcup

The tournament will end as it began for England with a meeting with Argentina in a third-place play-off that Borthwick insists he wants to win worldcup

England, captained by Owen Farrell, narrowly missed out on a place in the World Cup final (Getty Images)“I read a piece yesterday morning that talked about adversity and talked about the fact that in adversity you find that seed of belief and you’ve got to grow it,” Borthwick said worldcup

“This team has been through a bit in the last few years, a bit of adversity in the medium-term past worldcup

“I think through each of those periods the team has picked up lessons, picked up what we need to do and grown from it worldcup

I think there’s a lot of growth in this team worldcup

Sometimes it’s not the straight-forward path you want it to be worldcup

In the feelings and emotions of the game last night, I know that we’ll get stronger worldcup
