England v Croatia (7.45pm)

To the surprise of no-one, Harry Kane starts up front on the night he breaks Peter Shilton’s caps record. Less would have predicted Trent Alexander-Arnold at right back, but the Real Madrid man is included in Thomas Tuchel’s XI.

As for the Croatia team, Luka Modric is on the bench, Ivan Perisic is suspended, and Andrej Kramaric was not called up for this squad. That is 487 caps missing.

Mind you, Croatia looked old and in need of renewal during last month’s 7-0 hammering by England in Rijeka, so the pivot to (relative) youth may be timely. Their defence includes Josko Gvardiol, of Manchester City, and Brighton & Hove Albion’s 19-year-old centre back, Luka Vuskovic.
