What they're saying

"
England’s final warm-up game before the World Cup was delayed by an hour because of a thunderstorm. But when it finally began there were a few forks of lightning out on the pitch: Anthony Gordon looked sharp, and confirmed that he is Harry Kane’s understudy when it came to taking (and scoring) penalties, Elliot Anderson bit like a midfielder that Manchester City value at north of £100m – and then there was Jude Bellingham.
