Harry Kane found it difficult on his first start although in fairness he was not the only one struggling for momentum before the substitute Andros Townsend sugarcoated the occasion with a splendid equalising goal.
Townsend ought to cherish the moment he took aim from over 20 yards out and produced a shot with the power and precision to beat a goalkeeper of Gianluigi Buffon’s distinction. The ball was still rising as it hit the net and England could conceivably have gone on to win from that point. Wayne Rooney could reflect on three second-half chances without managing to get the goal that would have drawn him level with Lineker’s total of 48 England goals and got him closer still to Sir Bobby Charlton’s record of 49.
