HOW THEY RATED

Jordan PICKFORD

Superb reflex stop to deny O’donnell on 30 minutes as those doubts about him being nation’s No.1 fade fast.

Reece JAMES

Given a torrid 45 minutes by Robertson and Dykes but slowly justified selection ahead of Walker. Blasted second-half shot over.

John STONES

Great block to deny Adams and then almost snapped the post with towering 10th-minute header. Offered stability.

Tyrone MINGS

He may not be first choice but it will be harsh if he is replaced by Maguire after his second impressive performance.

Luke SHAW

Recalled to line-up for Trippier but combination with Mount never really gelled. May give way against the Czech Republic.

Kalvin PHILLIPS

Continued where he left off against Croats. Mr Influencer received stern warning for usual tactical foul. Disciplined.

Declan RICE

England anchorman never looks flustered or hurried. Improves with every appearance and now seemingly undroppable.

Mason MOUNT

Helped England through sticky start. Perhaps should have opened scoring in first half and then denied by Mctominay block.

Phil FODEN

Busy, always available and silky but, save a couple of mazy runs, he spent most of the night frustrated by lack of support.

Raheem STERLING

Pace scared Scots early on but was a little hurried when it really mattered in danger zone. Place under threat.

Harry KANE

For second game on spin, Three Lions skipper never had a chance to show why he is most feared goalscorer on the planet.

SUBS

Grealish (for Foden 61) 6. Rashford (for Kane 73) 6. Unused: Maguire, Henderson, Ramsdale, Coady, Sancho, Calvertlewin, Chilwell, Johnstone, Bellingham.
