England 1-1 Uruguay (White 81′ | Valverde 90+4′)
Stationed at home as colleague Pete Hall reported on this match from Wembley, the temptation to switch to Gogglebox at 9pm was real with England and Uruguay goalless at half-time.
Perhaps even Gogglebox player ratings instead? Jenny and Lee: 10/10. The Blackpool siblings a solid 9/10. The Siddiquis a 9/10 as well…
But no, no, a job to do, and while the first paper aeroplane was spotted at Wembley in the 11th minute – the go-to for bored but paying England supporters – eventually this experimental Three Lions were denied by a late Uruguay penalty after Cole Palmer had sparked England into life.
So from paper planes to who makes the plane, here’s how England’s World Cup maybe pile fared before Thomas Tuchel welcomes back his regulars for Tuesday’s friendly against Japan…
James Trafford
Starting ahead of Jordan Pickford to make his England debut, Trafford’s passing was on point, he commanded his box well, and could do little to keep out Federico Valverde’s penalty – Uruguay’s first shot on target. 6/10
Tino Livramento
Like the rest of England’s defence, barely put a foot wrong. Had a quieter night than his starting full-back counter-part, Djed Spence. 6/10
Fikayo Tomori
It says something that some 65 minutes in and I had no notes on Tomori beyond one misplaced pass in the first half. Anything below a six would be harsh, although his partner below did shine a little brighter. 6/10
Harry Maguire
Comfortable on the ball and happy going forward, Maguire was a focal point for set-pieces – suggesting England may follow Arsenal’s lead at the World Cup – and solidified his prospects of making the summer squad. 7/10
Djed Spence
Another player who boosted his World Cup prospects, Spence linked up brightly with Marcus Rashford when England attacked down the left and defended well when called upon as well. 7/10

Wore the armband with purpose and barked instructions from the get-go, but was then subbed off at half-time as the experiment continued for Tuchel. Very, very little to say beyond Henderson’s leadership skills showing why he is in this squad and will probably head to the US. 5/10
James Garner
Did not look out of place on his England debut. Little to do but did nothing wrong before being replaced with 20 minutes to go. Not the Everton midfielder’s fault, just a role that required the bare minimum on a night where Uruguay did not have a single shot on target while he was on the pitch. 6/10
Noni Madueke
Unlucky to limp off in the first half after showing early endeavour. A potential blow for Arsenal, too, although he was at least able to walk down the tunnel. 6/10
Phil Foden
Neither here nor there in the No 10 role, drifting out of the game all too often. Lucky to escape serious injury early in the second half – with the tackle from Ronald Araujo infuriating Tuchel – before coming off. Showed brief glimpses but if this was an audition to trouble leading candidates Jude Bellingham and Morgan Rogers in this position, then Foden fell short before his night ended abruptly and in unfortunate circumstances. 4/10
Marcus Rashford
The easy highlight of the first half was Rashford’s dribble down the left wing before his cross whizzed past Dominic Solanke. Showed the most purpose of any forward but did not see enough of the ball in the second half. 7/10

Had a few first-half attempts and was unsurprisingly selfish given the importance of impressing Tuchel, but the shots came to nothing before he was replaced in the second half. 6/10
Subs
Jarrod Bowen
On for the injured Madueke in the first half. Less dynamic than Madueke. 6/10
Adam Wharton
On at half-time for Henderson, probed with a few hopeful passes. 6/10
Cole Palmer
On in the 56th minute for Foden and delivered a terrific ball for the striker below with 20 minutes to go. Wanted the ball often and impressed more than the Manchester City man he replaced, and it was from his corner where England scored. If you think this score is too generous, it’s warranted for the impact he made. 8/10
Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Back after five years away from the England setup, somehow headed wide from three yards out following Palmer’s pinpoint cross. 5/10
Harvey Barnes
On for his second England appearance after snubbing Scotland, the 20 minutes was not enough to make an impact. 6/10
Kobbie Mainoo
Huge cheers when his name was called out, what will be more interesting is if Tuchel gives Mainoo more time against Japan or if the Manchester United midfielder is behind Garner and Henderson – as well as Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson – in the pecking order.
Lewis Hall
Will hope for more gametime on Tuesday. Like the three others who came on in the 69th minute – Barnes, Mainoo, White – it was hard to make an imprint in a stop-start match. 6/10
Ben White
After unexpectedly returning to the England squad, there were pantomime jeers from the crowd when the Arsenal defender came on. All a bit odd, with more boos after he was in the right place at the right time to poke in England’s opener. Ended the night on a sour note, giving the injury-time penalty away. 6/10
