A comprehensive six-wicket defeat to the world’s No. 1-ranked ODI side at Edgbaston laid bare the gulf between their two white-ball formats.The contrast is stark. Harry Brook’s side languish eighth in the ODI standings, below both Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, and the loss to India was their sixth successive defeat to the tourists and a 14th in their last 20 fifty-over matches.Stuart Broad watched the collapse unfold and reached a clear conclusion.
