England v France: Player ratings

England player ratings from their opening game of Euro 2012 against France.Joe Hart - 6Made an excellent save from Diarra but could have done better with the goal. He maybe saw it late but will be disappointed to have not saved it.Glen Johnson - 7Solid showing from the right-back who didnt bomb forward as much as he is perhaps used to. Done fantastically well to stop Benzema from scoring.John Terry - 7With questions being raised about his inclusion in the 23-man squad, he responded with a no nonsense defensive display.Jolean Lescott - 8 (Man of the Match)Scored the goal that gave England the lead and was unbeatable at the back. Only playing because of the injury to Cahill but proved he is worthy of a place in the team.Ashely Cole - 7Like Glen Johnson, he didn't venture forward as much as he normally does for Chelsea. He put in a good shift and kept the French attackers at bayJames Milner - 6Should have scored early on, but worked hard for the team. Did what was expecting and people can have no major complaints.Scott Parker - 7Got stuck in and did what he does best. Made a superb block to deny Malouda and did his job well in the centre of midfield.Steven Gerrard - 7Put in the cross that lead to England's goal. Another one who worked incredibly hard for the team and lead by example.Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - 6A shock inclusion in the starting XI and gave France some scares early in the game. Looked sharp and it will be interesting to see if he retains his place in the team.Ashley Young - 6Played behind Welbeck and did well with an excellent pass that split open the French defence and lead to Milner's wasted chance.Danny Welbeck - 6He got the nod over Andy Carroll and his work-rate was excellent. Didn't have much of a supply from his team-mates.SubstitutesJordan Henderson 5 - Had no real impact on the game but did fine.Jermain Defoe - 5  Gave France one scare, but also had little time to make an impressionTheo Walcott - 5 - Not enough time to impact.
