In the first over of Pakistan's reply, they managed two statistics which had proved beyond England.
"The use of a pitch already played upon in Pakistan's match against Sri Lanka on Monday raised a few eyebrows, given the importance of the match. I expected them to fly out of the traps and really send a message to Pakistan with the bat after being so courageous and fearless against Australia at the weekend", Vaughan wrote.
England have undergone something of an ODI revival since a dismal first-round exit at the 2015 World Cup.
"This doesn't feel great at the minute but there's a lot of cricket still to play this summer, and we've got to make sure we're right for that".
"But more than anything we've got to keep that drive we've had over the last 18 months to keep getting better - so when that World Cup does come around we're in the best shape possible to give ourselves the best chance of contending in that final".
"These guys are mostly 26 or 27 so they should be around for another five or six years".
They were also the only team in the eight-nation Champions Trophy to have won all three of their group games.
Hitting boundaries proved hard, however, and a frustrated Hales, on 13, spooned Rumman Raees to cover with a loose drive.
Progress was proving slow going, though, for a team whose usual aggressive batting style was stymied by the pitch and some excellent bowling.
Rep. Steve Scalise undergoes third surgery after shooting
Another victim, lobbyist Matt Mika, is in critical condition as of Thursday morning, according to a statement from his family. Steve Scalise , the No. 3 Republican in the House of Representatives, had been shot in the hip and fell to the ground.
England were now 128 for three. For Root, whose next assignment is captaining England for the first time in their Test series with South Africa on 6 July, the performance was tough to take. Yet this was not the all-rounder who smashed a brilliant unbeaten hundred against Australia at Edgbaston four days earlier.
England's £1.7million man therefore had little option but to delay his charge deep into the last 10 overs - and his patience was not to be rewarded significantly before he mistimed an attempted big hit into the off-side ring off Hasan to go for a highly untypical 34 from 64 balls, having hit no boundaries.
Liam Plukett and Mark Wood followed to wrap up an abject innings, England losing their final seven wickets for 83 runs.
There are Indian fans everywhere and they are always boisterous.
There was at least hope they could defend their total given Pakistan had only passed 200 once in the tournament.
Many wondered if a tricky chase might nonetheless be on the cards, but openers Azhar Ali (76) and Fakhar Zaman (57) made a mockery of that notion in a stand of 118.
In the process Fakhir posted his second successive half-century - in just his second ODI.
Even the loss of both openers, Fakhar stumped off Rashid and Azhar bowled by Ball via an inside edge, couldn't stop Pakistan's momentum as Babar Azam and Mohammad Hafeez guided their side home easily.
