Jordan Pickford : Japan's opening goal was the first time Pickford had conceded for England in 922 minutes.

He had to produce a smart save in the second half to keep the hosts in the game. 6 Ben White : Beaten once early on but showed the consistency he has done for Arsenal after that. A constant hard-working presence down the right-hand side.

One particularly good overlapping run in the first half. 6 Ezri Konsa : In with a big chance of starting the first game at the World Cup. One crucial block to deny Ayase Ueda with the shot hitting the bar and going over.

6 Marc Guehi : Given the armband by Tuchel for the first time. A couple of shaky moments early on but after that as dependable as ever. 6 Nico O'Reilly : Another important game for O'Reilly as he makes the left-back position his own before the summer.
