Poland start the brighter of the two teams. Here Poland's Kamil Grosicki, left, and Lukasz Piszczek combine as they try to get past England's Ashley Cole and Tom Cleverley Photograph: Leszek Szymanski/EPA

With 30 minutes gone and against the run of play, Wayne Rooney puts the visitors ahead when he heads Steven Gerrard's corner into the Poland net. I say heads, but in reality it came off his shoulder, but Rooney doesn't care, he's only 8 goals behind Michael Owen in the all-time England goalscorer chart Photograph: Owen Humphreys/PA

In the opening minute of the second half Glen Johnson saves Phil Jagielka's blushes when he stretches to poke the ball away from Poland's Pawel Wszolek after his fellow defender's airshot almost lets in Poland Photograph: Bartlomiej Zborowski/EPA

Finally, with 20 minutes to go, Poland get the equaliser that their possession deserves. Kamil Glik rises highest to head home Obraniak's corner. If Joe Hart had stayed on his line instead of hairing out to meet, but not get, the ball then he would have easily have saved Glik's header Photograph: Kacper Pempel/Reuters

Glik is pleased, the Polish fans are pleased ... Photograph: Leszek Szymanski/EPA

England manager Roy Hodgson shouts instuctions to his team but to no avail, the game finishes all square. Given his team's sleepy performance he'll be relieved that England are leaving Warsaw with a point Photograph: Michael Regan/Getty Images
