  ENGLAND RATINGS...
  JOE HART
  Erred badly coming out for Obraniak's corner and not nearly reaching it, allowing Gilk to equalise for Poland. 4/10

• 2/15

  GLEN JOHNSON
  Struggled in the first half, often out of place, but after two crucial covering tackles he recovered form. 5/10

• 3/15

  PHIL JAGIELKA
  Lacks experience on this stage and did have a few difficult moments against some intelligent opponents. 5/10

  GETTY IMAGES

• 4/15

  JOLEON LESCOTT
  Other than one dangerous mis-step just before the break, he stood up well to the threat of Lewandowski. 6/10

• 5/15

  ASHLEY COLE
  Not the easiest game of his long England career and even he did not look as assured as he usually does. 5/10

• 6/15

  STEVEN GERRARD
  Started from deep but is better further up the pitch. Some of his passing was too ambitious and wasteful. 5/10

• 7/15

  MICHAEL CARRICK
  England needed his calm passing but - not aided by poor movement - he struggled to set the right tempo. 5/10

  GETTY IMAGES

• 8/15

  JAMES MILNER
  Tracked nobly up and down his right flank but seems incapable of surprising opponents at international level. 6/10

  GETTY IMAGES

• 9/15

  WAYNE ROONEY
  Imaginative but sometimes let down by his touch, before he nodded England ahead. Replaced late on. 6/10

  GETTY IMAGES

• 10/15

  TOM CLEVERLEY
  Not a natural left winger but came inside well at times. Often close to pulling off sharp attacking play. 5/10

  GETTY IMAGES

• 11/15

  JERMAIN DEFOE
  Isolated up front for most of the game and not a natural hold-up man, he was taken off for Welbeck after 66 minutes. 5/10

• 12/15

  Best off the bench - DANNY WELBECK
  Provided presence up front and nearly set up Rooney to put England 2-0 up. 6/10

  POLAND RATINGS...
  TYTON
  Could not have done much with Rooney's goal and was otherwise brisk off his line. 7/10
  
  PISZCZEK
  The best player on the pitch, bombaring up and down the wing, besting Ashley Cole and delivering well. 8/10
  
  WASILEWSKI
  Had to make one crucial near-post tackle on Defoe but otherwise had an easy night. 6/10
  
  GLIK
  Dealt well with England's limited threat before scoring the ferocious headed equaliser from a corner. 7/10
  
  WAWRZYIAK
  Always willing to attack and show for the ball, giving Poland width that England lacked. 7/10

• 14/15

  POLANSKI
  Limited in his influence by an early yellow card, he was still always tidy and astute in possession. 6/10
  
  KRYCHOWIAK
  Moved the ball forward briskly to the attacking players as Poland pushed forward. 7/10
  
  GROSICKI
  Combined well with the overlapping Piszczek, making space for crosses and darting inside well towards goal. 7/10

• 15/15

  OBRANIAK
  Teased England with his movement, combining smartly with his wide players and crossing for the equaliser. 8/10
  
  WSZOLEK
  The youngster made a few crosses but posed fewer problems than his more epxerienced team-mates. 5/10
  
  LEWANDOWSKI
  Excellent movement and hold-up play never allowed the England defence to settle. 7/10
  
  Best off the bench - MIERZEJEWSKI
  Added width as Poland pushed for a late winner. 6/10
