Kane became the most capped Englishman in history, having last month equalled the record held by Peter Shilton, who was on hand to make a pre-match presentation to the star along with the Prince of Wales.
The striker looked like he would be denied a customary goal on this special night as Croatia defended diligently before capitalising on a second-half error to cancel out Morgan Rogers’ opener.
ENGLAND HIT THE FRONT!
'24 - It has by no means been a classic so far but England show that extra bit of quality to open up the Croatian defence through Morgan Rogers.

Petar Sucic pounced on a poor Jarell Quansah header, but the England defender quickly won a penalty that Kane slammed home as the nation’s all-time scorer netted in a fifth successive game.
CROATIA SILENCE WEMBLEY!
59' - Croatia have the equaliser and having beaten their opponents 7-0 in the reverse fixture England find themselves pegged back. An interesting last half hour here in store.

Thomas Tuchel’s men had already effectively secured qualification for March’s Nations League quarter-finals before this match, but Thursday’s victory rubber-stamped it and kept hopes alive of winning Group A3 heading into Sunday’s trip to leaders Spain.
