England vs Japan LIVE: Latest score and updates as Mitoma goal stuns hosts in pre-World Cup friendly

Great goal, well deserved. Palmer was sloppy on the ball but his teammates didn’t help much, in fairness. Anderson and Mainoo were sluggish to shut down the counterattack in the first instance and the latter didn’t do enough to cut off the cross to Mitoma.

23 min: This is a very nice goal from Japan’s point of view but a bit of a nightmare for England. Kaoru Mitoma starts and finishes it after nicking the ball from Palmer deep in Japan’s half. They counter rapidly and the ball is eventually worked from left to right for Mitoma to side-foot home first time.

19 min: Now Japan tap it around from left to right and back again without facing too much pressure before a long punt forward is collected by Konsa. It is worked forward to Palmer, whose lofted through ball is directed to no-one in particular. The TV pictures cut to Tuchel, sitting uncomfortably on a drinks box in the style of Bielsa.

16 min: Japan drop deep and England pass it across the back at a tame enough pace while waiting for a gap to open. When it does Palmer finds Gordon with a firm, low pass and his one-touch attempt to find Foden drifts away.

12 min: Better from England. Foden wins a free kick down the left. Palmer delivers and after some ping pong it is cleared only far enough to allow White to drive down the right and his cross wins a corner. A couple of half-chances, from Guehi and Palmer, are blocked. Still, it’s the first clear sign of attacking intent after a sticky start.

9 min: Better from England as they work it patiently down the right with Rogers, Palmer and White involved – though the move does not end with much of note in the final third.

A little bit sloppy from England so far on the ball, and Tuchel has just lost it with his centre-backs after they both stood off and allowed Japan’s striker, Ayase Ueda, to bring down a long ball unchallenged.

5 min: Not the ideal start for the hosts as Japan’s high press twice contributes to some worryingly slack defending – first a hasty challenge from Ben White allows a cross in from England’s right, then a mix-up down the left sees Marc Guehi hesitate before the danger is finally cleared.

And we’re off with England, in their latest new home kit, getting us underway from right to left as we watch. Japan are in dark blue shirts, socks and white shorts.

The teams are out, they are lining up for the pre-match formalities and we’re moments away from England’s last game before heading across the Atlantic.
