In trouble: Barry limped off with a groin injury

Robert Green, playing his first international since his awful gaffe against the USA in the first game of the 2010 World Cup finals, did look secure. He pushed away Markus Henriksen's spinning shot and later reacted smartly to parry a John Arne Riise drive to the near post after the Fulham left-back had embarrassed substitute Theo Walcott for his clear run at goal.

For England, there was Young volley high over the bar and a brief flurry from James Milner down the right which ended with a shot into the belly of Jarstein. Leighton Baines went close on with a free-kick that somehow breached the wall and required a sharp one-handed save from Jarstein. But the rest of Europe will rest easy on this showing.
