Detailed summary

Harry Kane to become record appearance-maker for men’s team

All eyes will be on Harry Kane tonight as England host Croatia in their penultimate Nations League game. The Three Lions skipper will tonight make history as the record appearance-maker for the men’s senior team, with his 126th cap. He overtakes Peter Shilton, whose final game for England came at the 1990 World Cup.

It is yet another staggering achievement for Kane, who has already shattered the goal record with 91 strikes to date, which is 38 more than previous holder Wayne Rooney. Kane will also tonight lead his country out as captain for the 98th time, which is eight more than Billy Wright and Bobby Moore.

Kane will parade the Ballon d’Or trophy, won 17 days ago down the road at the London Palladium, ahead of kick-off, before full focus will be on another win over Croatia as they look to hunt down Spain and top their Nations League group. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Dom Smith and Sam Tabuteau at Wembley.

Peter Shilton was involved in a commemorative tribute to Kane before kick-off, before Prince William presented him with a signed ‘126’ shirt.

The 33-year-old’s tribute before the match also included him parading his Ballon d’Or trophy in front of the Wembley crowd.

It is the first time the award for best player has been on English soil since Kane was crowned its winner at the London Palladium 17 days ago.

Here comes Kane, with his four children who are wearing ‘126’ shirts. Cute.

And right behind them, the Ballon d’Or trophy, Peter Shilton and Prince William.

If Jobe Bellingham joins his brother, Jude, on the pitch tonight, it will mark the first time two brothers have played in the same England game since Gary and Phil Neville in 2007 during the February international break, which no longer even exists.
