England's final warm-up game against Honduras in Miami took a strange turn as both sets of players were beckoned off the pitch due to a thunderstorm.
The game was delayed by more than 30 minutes as the weather passed over Sun Life Stadium and fans were asked to leave the stand for their own safety, before referee Ricardo Salazar allowed the match to continue.
Before the unexpected break, Daniel Sturridge had the best chance for the Three Lions when neat build-up play saw the Liverpool forward in possession on the edge of the box, but his effort was narrowly wide of the right-hand post.
Within seconds of the restarted first half Adam Lallana almost gifted Honduras the lead when he was caught in possession, allowing Jerry Bengston to prod a hopeful effort in Joe Hart's direction.
England fans may have been forgiven for worrying when Luis Garrido lept into a challenge on Steven Gerrard, for which the Honduran player picked up a yellow card, but thankfully the captain came out unscathed.
Celtic full-back Emilio Izaguirre then found himself in the book for striking the ball and Sturridge, moments after tripping the striker as the game threatened to become ill-tempered.
Just before half time Lallana went close to giving Roy Hodgson's side the lead, but his effort was deflected just wide of goal.
Soon after the game, the England squad will fly to Brazil ahead of their first World Cup match against Italy next Saturday.
