England player ratings from warm-up win over Bosnia and Herzegovina
England (4-2-3-1)
Jordan Pickford The goalkeeper’s Sunderland heritage was temporarily forgotten as the Gallowgate End treated him to a rendition of “England’s number one” on a quiet night. 6
Ezri Konsa Solid, if conservative, at right-back. Lacked a certain chemistry with Jarrod Bowen but won penalty before relocating to central defence. 6
Lewis Dunk A chance for atonement following some recent wobbles and, bar occasionally over-committing was steady if not exactly spectacular. 5

Marc Guéhi Auditioning on the left of Gareth Southgate’s centre-back pairing but one slapdash first-half pass almost gifted the visitors a goal. Booked. 5
Kieran Trippier The Newcastle right-back captained England from left-back and did not let Gareth Southgate down. Leadership personified. 6
Trent Alexander-Arnold Can the inverted right-back play as a conventional central midfielder? Most definitely. Ultimately switched to right-back and scored England’s second goal courtesy of a wonderful half-volley. 8
Conor Gallagher Neat, tidy, industrious and tackled well but initially played within himself. Improved later. 7
Jarrod Bowen A slightly disappointing night when it didn’t quite happen down the right for the winger. 5
Cole Palmer Converted a penalty – his first senior England goal. Not at his very best but a potentially class act. 7
Eberechi Eze All balletic balance, dropped shoulders, sweet touches, insidious movement and a killer change of pace. Merits a place on the plane. 8
Ollie Watkins Failed to capitalise on an inviting early chance conjured by Alexander-Arnold and that wasted opportunity served as a microcosm of his evening. 4

Substitutes
Jarrad Branthwaite (for Guéhi 62) The Everton defender made his senior England debut at centre-half; 5. Harry Kane (for Watkins 62) Swiftly reminded everyone of his ability by forcing Nikola Vasilj into a fine save before scoring England’s third goal; 8. James Maddison (for Palmer 62) Some nice touches as the Spurs creator strove to secure a late ticket to Germany; 7. Adam Wharton (for Trippier 62) Another senior debutant, the 20-year-old Crystal Palace midfielder looked very comfortable; 7. Jack Grealish (for Eze 63) Made a serious late case for inclusion, created Alexander-Arnold’s goal; 7. Joe Gomez (for Dunk 73) Came on at left-back; 6.
