James Trafford: He looked assured on his England debut and displayed a calmness on the ball. One very good punch when a dangerous Uruguay cross came into the area. 6
Tino Livramento: He was given a chance to show what he can do at right-back after his last appearance came on the opposite side of defence. Reece James is the England number one but Livramento is a very good understudy. 6
Fikayo Tomori: The AC Milan centre-back was not tested too much but showed good recovery pace when he needed to and worked well with Harry Maguire. 6
Harry Maguire: Stepped into midfield with the ball whenever he could. One good pass to Noni Madueke in the first half. He took the armband in the second half and showed his experience at international level. A real chance to make a late charge for the World Cup squad. 7
Djed Spence: Provided width on the England left but not much else to do. One Uruguay counter-attack came down his side after he had pushed up the pitch. 5
Jordan Henderson: A tidy performance and not asked too many questions. Marshalled the midfield and gave instructions to the lesser experienced members of the team. 6
James Garner: The Everton man can be very happy with his first England display. A match that did not have the intensity of a competitive game but Garner did what he needed to do. He was given the duty of taking set-pieces on his England debut which is a compliment. 6
Phil Foden: A lot of effort but in a match lacking quality, he was not able to show his best. Hit with a really heavy challenge by Ronald Araujo and then replaced by Cole Palmer in the second half. Not the performance he needed to force himself into the World Cup squad. 5
Noni Madueke: The Arsenal winger had a nice interchange with striker Dominic Solanke and always looked positive on the ball as he tried to take on his full-back but was withdrawn after 38 minutes with an injury after a heavy challenge. 5
Marcus Rashford: Came central to receive the ball a lot as Spence provided the width on the England left. One excellent run in the first half with the ball where he carried it nearly the length of the pitch as he showed his pace. He was the one England player who looked like he could make something happen every time he got the ball. 7
Dominic Solanke: A flash of quality as he nutmegged a Uruguay midfielder before having a shot blocked on an England counter-attack early on. Good play with Madueke and shot saved in a bright first half. Replaced by Dominic Calvert-Lewin. 6
