Roy Hodgson has decided to stick with the same England starting lineup that was due to play Poland last night for this afternoon's rearranged encounter in Warsaw.

That means that six players have come into the team that defeated San Marino 5-0 last Friday night.

Skipper Steven Gerrard has returned, as has Ashley Cole, Glen Johnson, Joleon Lescott, James Milner and Jermain Defoe.

Hosting Poland will begin the encounter with Robert Lewandowski as a lone centre-forward.

Poland: Tyton; Wasilewski, Gilk, Krychowiak, Piszczek; Obraniak, Wszolek, Grosicki, Wawrzyniak, Polanski; Lewandowski

England: Hart; Johnson, Jagielka, Lescott, Cole; Milner, Carrick, Gerrard, Cleverley, Rooney; Defoe
