I have 2 cucumber plants, and up to yesterday they were both doing great, yesterday I noticed a lot of small fruit dying off, however this morning I noticed some green flies on one of the plants so I got out my trusty Bug Off spray and sprayed both plants and some chilli and tomatoe plants close by asa precaution. Oh I also clipped off some lower leaves that were gone yellow and the dying/dead fruit, By lunchtime when I went in to check and after one of the plants major branch had started to wilt and die off. I will try put up some photos

Stem or root damage?

That would be my guess as well.
I’ve lost a couple of courgettes, DFB and a chilli to it.

Thanks Veggie & SC, I wonder would that be because I broke off some leaves and some dead fruit rather than cutting them with the secateurs?

I very much doubt it. Plants are very resilient to damage.
Sunflower stem eaten half way through by voles. And it’s still going strong

CtM if you think it’s going to die on you take a cutting like I did here then if it takes you won’t be without cucs.
