Japan in what is their final match before Thomas Tuchel names his squad for the World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>The Three Lions were hoping for an improved performance after their 1-1 draw with Uruguay last Friday but were again poor in front of their home fans.<\/p>\n<p>Cole Palmer\u2019s mistake was capitalised on by the visitors, with Keita Nakamura squaring it for Kauro Mitoma who slotted home past Jordan Pickford.<\/p>\n<p>England were without Harry Kane due to injury, and struggled without their captain\u2019s presence up front as Palmer, Phil Foden, Morgan Rogers and Anthony Gordon flattered to deceive in attacking areas.<\/p>\n<p>Tuchel rung the changes in the second half, but Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford saw both of their efforts denied by Zion Suzuki before Rogers blazed over late on.<\/p>\n<p><em>Relive all the action from Wembley with <strong>Metro\u2019s <\/strong>LIVE matchday blog below:<\/em><\/p>\n<style><![CDATA[.dmg-liveblog__entry-container{border:1px solid
