England and Poland have both named unchanged teams as they pick up where they left off with their World Cup Qualifying clash.

The two teams were due to play yesterday at 8pm, but the game was called off due to a waterlogged pitch, a controversial decision since the roof was not closed ahead of the game despite the weather.

Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe gets the nod up front for England ahead of Danny Welbeck, and Ashley Cole wins his 100th cap at left-back. Poland are without captain Jakub Blaszczykowski, but Robert Lewandowski is fit to start up front after being rested in Poland's previous fixture.

England: Joe Hart, Glen Johnson, Phil Jagielka, Joleon Lescott, Ashley Cole, James Milner, Michael Carrick, Steven Gerrard, Tom Cleverley, Wayne Rooney, Jermain Defoe.

Poland: Przemyslaw Tyton; Lukasz Piszczek, Marcin Wasilewski, Kamil Glik, Jakub Wawrzyniak; Eugen Polanski, Grzegorz Krychowiak, Pawel Wszolek, Ludovic Obraniak; Kamil Grosicki, Robert Lewandowski.
