Jude Bellingham struck a positive note after England’s 0-0 draw with Ghana in their second World Cup group stage game, saying the result, and the experience playing against an “exceptional” team, provided a “good test”.

England were unable to replicate their dazzling second-half performance in their opening game against Croatia, which they won 4-2 courtesy of goals from Bellingham and Marcus Rashford, as they were kept at bay by a dogged Ghana defence in Boston.
