As kick-off was getting underway at Wembley in London for the Nations League match between England and Croatia, home captain Harry Kane earned his 126th cap.

That is one more than Peter Shilton, who guarded England's goal from 1970 to 1990 and previously shared the record with Kane.

Kane has also long held England's goalscoring record, with 91 goals to date. Runner-up Wayne Rooney scored 53 goals in 120 international appearances during his career.

Kane was recently named the world's best footballer after being awarded the Ballon d'Or. It was the first time in 25 years that an English player had won the award.

On the women's side, Fara Williams holds the England record with 172 caps (2001–2019).

The match is underway.
