Match Report by Mike Payne

Match Report by Norman Giller

Sir Alf Ramsey's experimental side played like passing strangers in the face of a fierce challenge from Wales. England included new caps Larry Lloyd, Tommy Smith and Tony Brown, whose only appearance for England lasted just seventy-four minutes before he was replaced by substitute Allan Clarke. Francis Lee had a goal ruled off side in the 43rd minute. Martin Peters captained England for the first time in place of rested Bobby Moore, whose poise and authority was greatly missed in England's back line.
