Alastair Cook has precious little time to dwell on England's Champions Trophy final defeat against India ufffd a disappointment he agrees is his worst as captain.


England fell just five runs short at Edgbaston last night, chasing 129 for seven - in a match reduced by rain to 20 overs per side - and they must therefore wait at least another two years to break their duck in one-day international global tournaments.

By then it will be 40 years since the first of 17 failed attemptsu00a0"It will take a couple of days. It's a tough pill to swallow at the moment.u00a0"We had high hopes... of achieving something special."
