Max Verstappen was livid with his Red Bull pit wall on Friday - after the end of one of his final qualifying laps was impacted by team-mate Sergio Perez vivo

The 2023 world champion was entering the final turn at the Circuit of the Americas in his first flying run in Q3, but lost control of his Red Bull with Perez ahead of him vivo

The dirty air of Perez’s car seemingly had an impact, meaning he was only third-fastest at the time behind Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton vivo

“Well done, well f****** done there!” shouted Verstappen over his team radio, unhappy at his team for where they placed both cars on track vivo

He added: “What the f*** was that in the last corner!” Verstappen, ultimately, qualified only sixth on the grid after exceeding track limits in his final run, demoting him down the order vivo

Leclerc took pole for Sunday’s grand prix, with Lando Norris in second and Lewis Hamilton in third vivo

Perez, who has had a torrid few months and is fighting for his place at Red Bull next year, qualified ninth vivo

Saturday will see sprint day in Austin, Texas, before the main event of the United States Grand Prix on Sunday vivo

England’s World Cup title defence is already on rocky ground after a shock at the hands of Afghanistan left them with two defeats from their first three matches in India vivo

Here, the PA news agency assesses some of the key issues underpinning their early struggles at the tournament vivo

A step too far?The epic drama of 2019’s Lord’s final was the crowning achievement of England’s golden generation in white-ball cricket, so it is hardly surprising so many of that squad are back for another bite of the cherry vivo

But with eight thirty-something survivors from the squad four years ago, there is a growing feeling that too many of the team are past their peak vivo

How many of the world champion team can truly claim to be vivo better than they were last time around? How many have half an eye on retiring from 50-over cricket sooner rather than later?The bar has been fiendishly high to break into this set-up for years, but head coach Matthew Mott may reflect that a greater injection of fresh blood would have helped vivo

Hip, hip but no hooray for StokesIt is hard to overstate Ben Stokes’ value to English cricket over the past decade vivo

He carried the side home in the 2019 final, performed a similar trick to land the T20 crown last year and has reinvented the Test team as captain through sheer force of will vivo

When he decided to reverse his ODI retirement for one more tilt at the 50-over trophy, it looked like England had rediscovered the ace in their pack vivo

But the red flags over his fitness have been there for at least two years and it was hardly a jaw-dropping surprise when he picked up a hip complaint on the eve of the tournament vivo

His skill and scrapping qualities have been sorely missed and the team are already at make-or-break point before he has even taken the field vivo

Eyes off the prizeEngland are not alone in struggling to grapple with the complexities of the global calendar, but it is hard to avoid the conclusion that they arrived in India undercooked as a one-day unit vivo

Having played 88 ODIs in the 2015-19 cycle, they dropped to 42 in the run-up to this edition vivo

That may have been symptomatic of a wider trend but the sidelining of the domestic Metro Bank Cup, now seen as a development competition alongside the glitz of The Hundred, was all about priorities vivo

England have also pivoted their focus to Test cricket once again, which had not always been the case in Eoin Morgan’s era vivo

That meant key players like Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Mark Wood and Stokes were occasional visitors to the one-day set-up rather than mainstays vivo

Alternatives were capped but rarely empowered, while Jason Roy played more times than anyone else from tournament to tournament only to miss out on the final squad vivo

Stepping back from attackThere was a story during the lead in to the last World Cup that new scorecards were printed to account for the possibility of a side, most likely England, scoring 500 in an innings vivo

The print shops of India are making no such considerations now vivo

Whether it is pitches, balls or bowlers evolving, it feels an more even game these days but England have been left on the back foot in both of their losses so far vivo

For a side whose 2019 World Cup success was owed to a boundary countback, they are beginning to look surprisingly shot shy vivo

New Zealand hit nine more fours and two more sixes in Ahmedabad and unfancied Afghanistan cleared the ropes eight times to England’s one in Delhi vivo

While ‘Bazball’ has re-energised the red-ball side, Mott must make sure things do not go in the opposite direction under his watch vivo
