England got their World Cup campaign off to a pulsating start as Harry Kane struck twice and Jude Bellingham starred in a breathless 4-2 victory over Croatia.

The Three Lions broke the deadlock in only the 12th minute as captain fantastic Kane converted from the spot having been given the chance to retake his initial saved effort for encroachment from Josko Gvardiol.

Thomas Tuchel’s men appeared in complete control of the Group L contest as the first half wore on, but Croatia dug deep and found an equaliser through Martin Baturina in the 36th minute.
