Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was the only England player to emerge from their goalless draw against Scotland with any credit, declared Gary Neville.
Gareth Southgates side produced a lacklustre display as they failed to break down a spirited and disciplined Auld Enemy at Wembley with the Scots producing the better chances in the European Championship stalemate.
Pickford was called upon to make some crucial saves, including a superb stop to deny Stephen ODonnell while Reece James made a goal-line clearance to clear a shot from Lyndon Dykes.
The result leaves England in second place in Group D with four points from two games, trailing leaders Czech Republic on goal difference while both Croatia and Scotland have a point apiece.
The Three Lions now face the Czechs at Wembley at 8pm on Tuesday while Scotland tackle Croatia at Hampden Park at the same time.
Former England international Neville said on ITV Sport : England never won the ball high up the pitch, the three midfielders for Scotland were better on the ball than Englands.
