Kane makes history with record 126th England cap

Harry Kane has broken the record for the most senior England caps by a single player in history.

The Three Lions captain leads the line for Thursday's Nations League clash against Croatia, making his 126th appearance for his country in the process.

He bypasses the record previously held by goalkeeper Peter Shilton, who earned 125 caps between 1970 and 1990.

Shilton will make a presentation to the England skipper on the pitch ahead of kick-off at Wembley.
