Team News: Harry Kane named on England bench for Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania

Tottenham Hotspur starlet Harry Kane has been handed a place on the bench by England manager Roy Hodgson for tonight's Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania.

It was widely expected that Hodgson would opt for experience in this evening's encounter at Wembley, but Kane is likely to make his debut as a substitute.

Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck have been preferred up front for the Three Lions, while Michael Carrick has been given a place in midfield following his recent exile from the national team.

Raheem Sterling, Fabian Delph and Jordan Henderson have been given the nod, while Nathaniel Clyne, Gary Cahill, Phil Jones and Leighton Baines make up the back four.

Joe Hart, as expected, will start in goal for England this evening.

England XI: Hart; Clyne, Cahill, Jones, Baines; Henderson, Sterling, Carrick, Delph; Rooney, Welbeck

Lithuania XI: Arlauskis; Freidgemas, Mikuckis, Kijanskas, Zaliukas, Andriuskevicius; Cernych, Zulpa, Chvedukas, Mikoliunas; Matulevicius
