England earned their spot at the global tournament with a decisive victory over the Baltic side on Tuesday night.

The Starting Lineup

• England's number one – Pulled off a couple of excellent stops in the second half to maintain his remarkable clean sheet streak. It's now nine straight in a row. 6.5
• The defender – Has adapted to international football like a duck to water. Tougher tests are coming, of course, but a promising start to his England career. 7
• John Stones – Two games in less than a week will do the City defender a great benefit. Still one of the automatic picks on the roster, fitness permitting. 7
• Aston Villa's defender – Picked ahead of Marc Guehi and performed solidly. Executed an excellent last-ditch recovery tackle in the second half to boot. 7
• Myles Lewis-Skelly – Appeared a little not at his best at times, expected given his scarce minutes at Arsenal. An intriguing few months ahead. 6
• Elliott Anderson – Looks undroppable in this England team at the moment. Looks made for this level and has formed an strong partnership with Rice. 7
• The midfielder – Thriving in his number eight role. The backbone of England's midfield is demonstrating his offensive abilities now. Developing into a genuine all-round midfielder. 7
• Morgan Rogers – Not as impactful as he has been in England's victories over previous opponents. The answer will come next month who is the rightful holder of the number 10 shirt. 6
• Arsenal's star – Contributed an assist to his brilliant goal against Wales last Thursday. Will be key to England's prospects next summer. 7.5
• Harry Kane – At his peak. Increased his total for the season to 20 strikes. Has scored 76 goals for his country. Is 100 possible 100? 8
• Newcastle's attacker – Precise finish to get the ball rolling for England here in the Latvian capital. Has acquitted himself well during this fixture period. 7.5

The Bench Players

• The veteran (for Rice 60) – Maintained the tempo in midfield. 6
• Eberechi Eze (for Rogers 60) – Excellently taken goal and a danger. 7
• Jarrod Bowen (for Saka 60) – Faces competition on his hands to earn a place when all are available. 6
• Dan Burn (for Stones 71) – Predictably, managed everything with his height. 6
• Marcus Rashford (for Gordon 71) – One pacy run down the left was noticeable. 6

After their place booked, the team can now focus for the upcoming tournament with confidence.
