The Three Lions are now winless in their opening three games of this year's Nations League after playing out a drab draw with European champions Italy at Molineux.
In front of a near-deserted stadium in the West Midlands, Gareth Southgate's side toiled but struggled to break down their resolute opponents.
England's backline impressed largely, but their attack may worry boss Southgate with Harry Kane's understudy Tammy Abraham struggling up front.
ENGLAND (4-3-3)
Aaron Ramsdale - Three excellent saves in the first half will do his future at international level the world of good. 8
Reece James - Solid down the right and linked up well with Sterling to create an attacking threat. Delivery from wide a danger. 7
Harry Maguire - His third consecutive start and the rhythm in his game looks to have benefitted from that consistency. 7
Fikayo Tomori - Made an excellent block just before half-time to keep England on level terms, More steady than spectacular. 7
Kieran Trippier - Not his most effective display in an England shirt as he struggled to contain Italy's threat down the right. 6
Declan Rice - Even after a long domestic season, the West Ham striker appears to have plenty left in the tank. Another dynamic display. 7
James Ward-Prowse - Quietly went about his business in central midfield. Kept things ticking over in England's engine room. Booked. 6.5
Raheem Sterling - England's captain for the night was one of the team's most potent attackers but squandered England's best chance. 7
Mason Mount - Unlucky not to score after hitting the bar in the first-half, but cut a frustrated figure as he kept coming deeper to find the ball. 6
Jack Grealish - Blew hot and cold. Provided some bright moments in attack, but could have offered more protection to Trippier in defence. Booked. 6.5
Tammy Abraham - Didn't have the impact he'd have hoped for, but the Roma striker was deprived of service. Hooked by Southgate. 5.5
