Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson believes the pressure is on Emile Heskey to start delivery for England, even though the striker has been played out of position until today.
"Heskey knows he is under pressure - if he does not deliver today he probably will not figure in the final group game against Nigeria," said the BBC Sport pundit before the game.
"He is far better suited to the middle of attack where he can make the most of his size and strength.
"Eriksson will demand that Heskey makes his physical presence felt in the danger areas, holding the ball up and creating space for his team-mates."
