England are leading Poland 1-0 at the break in their crucial World Cup qualifier, thanks to a goal from Wayne Rooney.

England lead Poland 1-0 in their must-win World Cup qualifier with Poland at Wembley, thanks to a goal from Wayne Rooney.

The home side started strongly and Andros Townsend saw his powerful low effort saved by Wojciech Szczesny, before Waldemar Sobota wasted a great chance for the hosts after firing wide when well placed.

Robert Lewandowski was next to threaten for the visitors but pulled his effort wide with just Joe Hart to beat.

Townsend nearly gave England the lead midway through the half when he saw his fierce effort from long range come back off the bar, and from the rebound Daniel Sturridge saw his strike saved by the keeper.

Danny Welbeck should have given England the lead soon after but fired his shot wide from close range, following a corner.

England finally took the lead in the 41st minute through Rooney, who headed home Leighton Baines's fine cross from the left.
