Jordan Pickford An early tangle with Konsa before the ball ended in the side netting; one first-half shot to save, none in the second. 6/10
Reece James Early on, Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea favourite laid flat Andrejs Ciganiks and was twice beaten for pace. Then he scorched his free-kick. More solid in the second half. 7
Ezri Konsa Denied a goal by a brilliant save from Krisjanis Zviedris. A nasty fall by the touchline might have ended his evening but he soldiered on. 7
Marc Guéhi Has become a senior England defender and a first-half slip was uncharacteristic. Otherwise showed his normal reliability and organisational qualities. 6
Myles Lewis-Skelly English football’s latest discovery began with real buzz. Like the absent Trent Alexander‑Arnold, showed that the modern full-back can double as a playmaker, before he faded. 7
Declan Rice Operated as a one-man screen for the defence. Assumed responsibility for corners, delivery usually troubling the Latvian defence. Supplied Kane’s goal on a plate. 7
Morgan Rogers Lively on first start, taking up a variety of positions, sniffing out half-chances. Perhaps he and Bellingham were too often found down similar channels. 7
Jude Bellingham Showy, with flicks that entertained the crowd but lacked any real incision. Booked for a silly challenge, lucky not to see red for similar. 5
Jarrod Bowen Linked well with James, before half-time switch of wings, subbed on the hour. Cleaned out by Latvia’s keeper; clear penalty somehow denied by VAR. 6

Harry Kane Headed over a decent chance before firing wide from distance. Amid heavy traffic, from both teammates and opponents, waited turn to tap in his requisite goal. Usual service. 7
Marcus Rashford Given another chance by Tuchel, clearly an admirer, looked more dangerous than against Albania. The Rashford relaunch, post-Villa move, still lacks its first goal. 7
Substitutes: Eberechi Eze (for Bowen 60) Solo run resulted in England’s third goal, 7; Phil Foden (Bellingham 67) 6; Curtis Jones (Rashford 79) 6; Jordan Henderson (Rice 79) 6; Kyle Walker (Lewis-Skelly 79) 6.
