Alex Král

Although Jordan Pickford had a 100% pass completion by the 10-minute mark, he'd looked particularly shaky and was almost caught in possession twice.

A number of England players took time to get going, and that gave the visitors some encouragement, even if the Czechs only had Alex Kral's tame off-target shot to show for their efforts.

Jude Bellingham, often so reliable for the Three Lions, had already lost possession four times in the opening 25 minutes, inviting pressure onto the hosts' back four.

Sofal and Kane give England breathing space.
