England beat Hungary in their World Cup qualifier on the road but drew at Wembley in their most recent encounter.

Instead Attila Szalai shuffles across and wins the ball in the air nodding it out of play. 11 mins: Chance! A good from Jarrod Bowen sees his effort at goal blocked behind by Attila Szalai. Declan Rice did well to win it in midfield and quickly guide the ball up to Kane who heads it into the box. 14 mins: Close! Conor Coady to the rescue for England as Hungary switch the play out to the right where Nego brings it down and fizzes an early ball into the box. Kane crosses one into the middle and the ball bounces up nicely for the arriving Mason Mount who can’t head it towards goal. England beat Hungary in their World Cup qualifier on the road but drew at Wembley in their most recent encounter. He’ll also be hoping England can keep up their recent record of challenging for honours in whichever competition they are taking part in.

Gareth Southgate has named his England team to take on Hungary tonight in the UEFA Nations League.

England have not lost to Hungary since 1962 and will hope to keep up their good record against them by playing in a 3-4-3 formation today. Bowen enjoyed a brilliant 2021/22 season for the Hammers, helping them to qualify for European competition for the second campaign in a row after scoring 18 goals and contributing 13 assists in 51 games for David Moyes' side. Gareth Southgate has now revealed his starting XI for the match at the Puskas Arena Park where Bowen will start in a front three alongside Chelsea's Mason Mount and captain Harry Kane.

The Kiwi batter edged behind and Ben Foakes made no mistake. Broad struck twice either side of a direct-hit run out from Ollie Pope as England claimed a team hat-trick before Parkinson took the 10th wicket, his first of the game, ending a useful cameo from Tim Southee. Alex Lees was the only casualty for England as they started their chase of 277 after the morning session of day three at the LV = Insurance Test against New Zealand.

England's encouraging start continues as Jarrod Bowen races into the box before losing possession. We've seen that run many times before when he has been playing for West Ham.

England need to look at that and play those progressive passes to get higher up the pitch. England maybe looking a bit more dominant in possession and more in control. The guy is just not good enough for international football. He needed treatment for a knock in the first half before carrying on. A really good knock back into Zsolt Nagy. He is allowed to arrive on the edge of the 18-yard box to see if the ball drops his way. would normally put on In The Night Garden, but no need as this football will send him to sleep…

Facing the prospect of yet another imposing total to chase, England's 'team hat-trick' provided a much-needed galvanising effect.

It was a moment of the sort that, when he and Anderson were dropped from England’s tour of the Caribbean in March, Broad feared he would never enjoy again. This time, despite a brief flurry from Tim Southee, England stuck to their plans, pitching the new ball up. Such is the potency of Broad in moments like this. Actually, when you gave it a little bit of thought and analysis you thought ‘yeah, actually, he's got the sort of ruthless edge where he could drive the dagger home with a good twist at the end’. Broady is a bit like a shark in the water - if he smells blood he’s quite ruthless and wants to go in for the kill.” Broad is the only England cricketer in history to be player of the match in three wins that have sealed a series victory over Australia. No matter his status as the second most prolific Test bowler in England history, Broad’s lengths have been a perennial debate, with many believing that he often errs a little too short.

ENGLAND players were booed by kids when they took a knee ahead of the Nations League match against Hungary.

However, England players were subjected to racist abuse in the 4-0 win, with the HFF given another two-game ban and a £150,000 fine. Speaking to Channel 4 before this weekend's game, England boss Gareth Southgate reiterated the stance that there is no discrimination in football.

Proved to be a constant thorn in Hungary's side and took to international football like a duck to water. Highly involved in the opening exchanges as he looked to get in behind the Hungarian backline. Better suited to a back four. Easily turned by substitute Kleinheisler as Hungary should have added a second late on. Produced some impressive long-range passes and crucially spared Pickford's blushes by clearing one off the line early on. Nearly found himself caught out just 11 minutes in after failing to come off his line quick enough to claim an incensive Hungarian through-ball.

England players were booed by a Hungary crowd largely made up of children when taking the knee before their Nations League clash in Budapest.

‘Hopefully the young people in the stadium will realise why this opportunity has happened.

England were booed as they took a knee before kick-off in Saturday's Nations League game against Hungary.

Separately, Hungary were given a two-match stadium ban, with one game suspended for two years, and a 200,000 Swiss francs fan by FIFA for racist chanting during England's last visit to Budapest -- September's World Cup qualifier which ended in a 4-0 win for Southgate's side. Part of UEFA's punishment -- which was reduced from a three-game ban on appeal to two matches with one suspended for a period of two years and a €100,000 fine -- was to display anti-racism messaging inside the ground.

It could yet prove the decisive moment of the match. The belated introduction of spinner Ajaz Patel also offered a chance to free his arms after tea, with three sixes heaved into the Grandstand. With Pope’s first Test match at No3 ended by a corker from Boult on 10, the left-armer getting one to swing in from around the wicket, nip and uproot off stump, England were 46 for three and in need of resistance. Get his side over the line, with 15 overs until the new ball, and it will likely taste as sweet as any of the 27 victories secured in his old job. Anyone travelling to Lord’s for the fourth day of this first Test is advised to take their seat early, likewise those tuning it at home. The former captain looks in fine touch and has Ben Foakes for company on nine not out.

At the end, Kane shot weakly when he might have squared for the substitute Jack Grealish. England had come up short. Jarrod Bowen was a willing runner off the right on his debut and, after seeing an early effort blocked by Attila Szalai, his eyes lit up when Alexander-Arnold picked him out with a cross from the right. It looked as though he had pulled it off only for the long-range lob to veer off target at the last. Addressing a high diagonal from left to right, Loic Nego volleyed over a sumptuous first-time ball, low along the corridor of uncertainty behind England’s back line, and it was made to measure for Szoboszlai. Out flew Pickford and he certainly spooked Szoboszlai, who could only prod past him with little power. The award was soft – rather like England up to that point – but it was correct and punishment for a moment of clumsiness from Reece James, who had only just entered as a substitute. And so he stepped across Zsolt Nagy to make sure that the Hungary wing-back could not give chase.

"It's something we need to look at and learn very quickly. You don't want to hear them things, but it's important we keep on doing what we're doing, to make people talk about the situation. That took a lot out of the players," Southgate said after the game. "It's massively disappointing," Coady said. "The heat was a factor. He pulled back Zsolt Nagy who went down and the referee pointed to the penalty spot.

Dominik Szoboszlai's penalty fired Hungary to an historic win on their UEFA Nations League A debut.

The four group winners in League A will advance to the knockout finals with, in principle, one appointed as hosts. The balance of finding out about new things and the consistency of the regular team, I have to look at whether I got that right." We need to look at how we performed and how we move forward because these are big games for us." Rossi talked pre-match of Hungary having earned the right to be in League A, and they've certainly proven that tonight. The heat was a factor and took a lot out of the players and we tried to refresh the team earlier than normal. He talked about heart, there being no such thing as a lost ball, and that if we fought until the end, victory could be ours."

Gareth Southgate said he was 'very surprised' that a crowd largely composed of Hungarian children booed his England players for taking the knee.

“From a development perspective I want and need the team to be playing in front of supporters,” he said. “Very surprised, but I think that’s why we do it,” he said. The 1-0 Nations League defeat in Budapest was played in front of more than 35,000 fans, with one adult allowed to join every 10 children under 14, despite nominally being a closed-doors fixture after Hungary were handed a Uefa ban last year.

Dominik Szoboszlai's penalty secured a deserved victory for the hosts against Gareth Southgate's below-par side in Budapest.

Hungary were ordered to play three home games without supporters as punishment for fan racism at Euro 2020. At the other end, Pickford was required to palm away a Zsolt Nagy strike before almost being caught out by Adam Szalai’s speculative lob from distance. Gareth Southgate was forced into a half-time change with Justin replaced by Bukayo Saka after suffering what appeared to be a calf problem. The game was technically played behind closed doors after Uefa punished Hungary for “discriminatory behaviour” by supporters during Euro 2020 last summer. PUSKAS ARENA — England’s players were booed as they took the knee before a game against Hungary that was supposed to be played behind closed doors due to fan racism. England got their Nations League campaign off to a poor start after slipping to a 1-0 defeat against Hungary at the Puskas Arena with RB Leipzig playmaker Dominik Szoboszlai scoring the winner from the penalty spot.

Gareth Southgate's team produced a flat performance in defeat despite a far less hostile environment than on their last visit to Hungary.

Volleyed half-chances at either end of the game highlighted that propensity; as Southgate pointed out afterwards, by the close he had taken most of the side’s shots. Any sense of menace was dialled down close to zero, the scenes outside resembling arrangements for a summer camp rather than a fixture with unsavoury recent history. They are five months from a World Cup to which traditional supporters may not flock, in a country with little football culture of its own. In the matchday programme, the section dedicated to Hungary’s visitors was adorned with mini profiles of English national treasures. But a highly unusual setting brought what, by recent standards, was a thoroughly singular outcome: a no-show from Gareth Southgate’s players and a ripple in what had been a largely smooth path to Qatar. England had toyed with Hungary amid the most unpleasant circumstances in September and might have expected a repeat in front of more than 30,000 energised youngsters.

Ben Stokes and Joe Root put England within touching distance of a win on day three of the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's.

The England captain had his lucky stars to thank for – he chopped onto his own stumps when he was batting on 1 but replays showed Colin de Grandhomme had overstepped. Together with Ben Foakes, he took England safely to stumps, just 61 runs away from a win. After the break, the two batters were a lot more positive. However, this time, they had their skipper and the former captain put on a rearguard to ensure there was no further collapse. The ton, the second of his Test career, couldn't have come at a better time with Mitchell coming in to bat when New Zealand were reeling at 35/3. Jamieson though ensured that there was no more damage done as he scalped the dangerous Bairstow in the very next over.

Jarrod Bowen is one of few positives as England suffer defeat to Hungary, a nation ranked 40th in the world; Trent Alexander-Arnold and James Justin ...

Combined well with Saka down the left as England looked to unlock the Hungary door. England struggled with Hungary's long diagonals throughout and the lapse in concentration epitomised Southgate's team as a whole. It seemed innocuous, even harsh, but the Chelsea full-back was penalised and booked for a foul inside the box on Nagy. A chance generated of his own making, but England had very little else to show from this abject display. When England looked to go through the middle, they were often caught on the ball, but the 18-year-old held his own. Led England out for the 46th time as captain, Kane often did much of his work outside of the box. Blocked a Loic Nego shot with his arm tight to his body in the second half. Eleven months out with an ACL injury, his England debut was cut short at the interval having felt a twinge in the opening period. Mature beyond his years, Bellingham's 12-game winning run for England was ended, but that record was partly due to Southgate turning to him during favourable matches. Was too straight and too slow in his pass to Jarrod Bowen which led to a quick turnover and an audacious effort from Adam Szalai with Pickford off his line. Rose to meet an Alexander-Arnold corner in the second half but was unable to direct his effort on target and his long diagonals were hit and miss. Showed his range of passing to switch play but quick ball was too rarely seen, and his tired corners were desperately over-hit.

All in all I am really happy these kids had a wonderful treat to take away tonight. "I don't think we really got an advantage off this. The evidence is there for everyone to see the challenge." "We probably lacked a half-yard I would say, in terms of our real incisiveness. It [the penalty] is a harsh decision," he added. But we didn't create enough clear chances to win the game.

England need 61 runs to win the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's, with Joe Root on 77 not out after yet another chaotic day of Test cricket.

The very next ball, Broad produced a beauty to bowl Jamieson for a duck and reduce New Zealand to 251-7 in a stunning passage of play. De Grandhomme certainly did not have his best day in a New Zealand shirt, which began when he was run out for a duck. However, replays showed De Grandhomme had overstepped and Stokes was given a reprieve. He also got the key wicket of Stokes later in the day, ending the day with X-XX from XX overs. After scoring three boundaries in one over, Bairstow was tasked with seeing out the final over of Jamieson's spell. But when you are throwing your hands at a ball with a gap between bat and pad that you and I could swim through... Just three overs after England's team hat-trick, Anderson pinned Blundell lbw for 96 to leave New Zealand 265-8. First, Broad got the key wicket of Mitchell caught behind for 108. Anderson then pinned Tom Blundell lbw for 96, a heartbreaking end to a brilliant innings, before Matty Potts and Matt Parkinson took the final two wickets. Together, he and Root began formed a crucial partnership worth 90 before Jamieson dismissed Stokes for 54. After resuming on 236-4 with a lead of 227, New Zealand looked to stretch their lead. Mitchell was the first wicket to fall, getting caught behind off Stuart Broad for 108.

ENGLAND were beaten 1-0 by Hungary in their opening match of this year's UEFA Nations League.

However, a late decision was made to allow thousands of school kids to attend the game with an adult. It appears there is still a long way to go to eradicate discrimination from the game. Jarrod Bowen was handed his debut by Southgate and impressed on the right-hand side of attack. Bowen enjoyed his best goalscoring season in the Premier League this term. Bukayo Saka came on at wing-back in the second half but could easily play further forward in his place, with Jack Grealish and Raheem Sterling also lurking. The formation Southgate plays has been a regular talking point throughout his reign as England boss.

The Three Lions coach has limited opportunities to find his best set of players for this winter's World Cup.

And the wider point is to give England alternatives so they have more weapons to win those games. [There’s] still a lot we can take and learn from the games.” If we’re going to be a team that gets to the final stages of a World Cup, these are the types of games you need to win.” I have to accept that sometimes you’re not going to win matches, you’ve got to ride the criticism that comes with it, for the learning that should help us further down the line. I think that was more the heat than the length of the season. And that was a key point.

Reaction to Hungary versus England in the UEFA Nations League on Saturday 4 June 2022 from Gareth Southgate and Conor Coady.

It's something we need to look at and get right on Tuesday because we've got a massive game. We need to learn very quickly. He said: "I don't think we did enough to win the game, a draw would have been a fair outcome. They're bitterly disappointed because we want to keep winning matches. When former England striker Michael Owen put it to Southgate that the players looked tired, the England boss replied: "It has [been a long season] but I haven't seen that in the training sessions. “We've got huge disappointment in terms of that but as a coach you've got to think about what we take from the game and what we learn from it.”

When is it? How can you watch it? All you need to know about the UEFA Nations League Group A3 game between Germany and England.

The four group winners in League A will advance to the knockout finals with, in principle, one appointed as hosts. To win, both teams will have to show more of their potential compared to the Matchday 1 performances. Germany and England meet in UEFA Nations League Group A3 on Tuesday 7 June.

Joe Root scored a masterful 26th century and passed 10000 Test runs as he steered England to a five-wicket victory over New Zealand on day four of the LV= ...

"All the young lads will be hanging on every word from McCullum and Stokes and want to improve. Sky Sports' Nasser Hussain: "It was brilliant, right from the first ball to the scenes at the end. You can imagine the confidence in that dressing room now.

Joe Root's century completed a welcome Test win for England and carried the former captain into the 10000-run club.

That said, the performance of Foakes with the bat in the fourth innings made for a satisfying home debut. It would be a stretch to claim this is a corner turned for England, even if the oft-cited statistic of one win in their last 17 Test matches has finally been shifted. New Zealand, as is their default, joined in with the applause as Lord’s stood in celebration of Root’s work.

A 1-0 loss in Budapest on Saturday will be followed by a clash with Germany in Munich on Tuesday night.

“Look, it’s not easy to come in after three, four days and go straight into the team. Normally we would do that process slightly differently. England manager Gareth Southgate is happy to test his World Cup formula in the more pressurised environment of the Nations League – despite Saturday’s defeat to Hungary.

A Joe Root century helped England to a five-wicket win over New Zealand on the fourth morning of the first Test.

Stokes had him on at the wrong end at first, but it was smart to let him bowl at the tail, which brought his first wicket. Listless in the first innings, but outstanding in the company of Root second time round. Loose shot in the collapse, then a wild ride of a knock in the second. Gave England a sensational start to the match, and had Will Young’s number. A failure in the first innings sparked the collapse, but a special second innings that won England the match. Bowled fine, sweeping up the final wicket in the first innings, then resorting to bumpers in the second.

England quickly wrapped up victory at Lord's as Root's unbeaten 117 helped secure a five-wicket win over New Zealand in the opening Test match.

Root finished the job in a blaze of glory, taking Southee for three boundaries in an over as he wrapped things up with a merry swing through mid-wicket. New Zealand had hoped to hang in and needed the second new ball to work some magic for them. Later, with the target dipping below 30, he rocked onto his heels and pulled Tim Southee between two fielders for four more. A fragile tail, featuring at least three natural number 11s, also cranked up the responsibility on the overnight pairing of Root and Foakes. However, Foakes deserves huge credit for the way he held up his end of the deal. It was Root’s 26th in total, the same as West Indian great Sir Garfield Sobers, but he will be even more satisfied by its importance to the team.
