England (4-3-3)
Jordan Pickford A spectator for extended spells, doing the necessary and playing the sweeper role to perfection on one Mudryk break. No chance with Zinchenko’s goal. 6
Kyle Walker First England goal was well taken and arrived when they had been labouring. Defended brilliantly against the rapid Mudryk in a virtually flawless display. 9
Harry Maguire Rarely stretched and will feel glad of the game time. One smart covering challenge on Mudryk in second half and looped a half-chance over. 7
Marc Guéhi Looked the part, distributing smoothly and picking his moments to stride forward. Several interceptions stopped dangerous Ukraine breaks in their tracks. 7
Ben Chilwell Left-sided combination with Maddison spluttered and he was rarely located despite an advanced starting position. Flank was exposed for Ukraine’s opener. 6
Jordan Henderson Shot over in the first half and made Bushchan deal with a low cross later but was rarely crisp or dominant. 6
Declan Rice Made to work hard by the impressive Ukraine playmaker Sudakov for the first hour. Not at his most accurate playing forwards. 6
Jude Bellingham Started full of promise and combined smartly with with Maddison, who should have controlled one through-ball. Faded, though, and replaced by Rashford. 6
Bukayo Saka Livelier after the break, cracking the bar and flickering during a spell around the hour when England briefly looked ready to turn the screw. 6
Harry Kane Took matters into his own hands for England’s equaliser, foraging near halfway and releasing Walker superbly. Few sights of goal beyond a header that looped wide. 7
James Maddison A mixed bag. Some clever runs into pockets opening things up for England but a number of sloppy moments causing frustration. 6
Substitutes
Phil Foden Little impact on the ball in central and, later, right-sided roles. 6
Marcus Rashford Looked sharp as space opened up but England could not capitalise. 7
Conor Gallagher Energetic and saw a shot blocked but could not fashion a winner. 6
