"We were punished today by a very experienced side. We were way off the mark," said Morgan, who has overseen defeats by Australia, New Zealand and now Sri Lanka with just one win, against non-Test Scotland, to show for England's efforts at this tournament.
"When we are bowling well, it's a good attack but you can pick it apart when we're not bowling well and we didn't bowl well."
Morgan's premier seamers James Anderson and Stuart Broad went for none for 48 and none for 67 respectively. In four matches, Anderson and Broad have only taken two wickets each.
