The set-piece coach Paul has been waiting for that one and we got a few tonight!\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kane broke the deadlock in the first half to get England up and running<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>And with England entering the World Cup season, Kane and his team-mates have one eye on the tournament next summer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cThis is the time when the competition starts, the formation and the way we play and the style is going to be set in stone,\u201d noted Kane.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>And with England entering the World Cup season, Kane and his team-mates have one eye on the tournament next summer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">LIVE Cricket Score<\/a><\/h5><p>\u201cAnd with the ball, lots of movement and lots of pace and playing out through the lines. You could say today was the perfect template and we\u2019re going to have difficult games from now until the World Cup but we\u2019ll use this as a starting point and the standard\u2019s been really high.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
