England conceded an injury-time equaliser as their Euro 2016 campaign began with a disappointing draw against Group B rivals Russia in Marseille.
Roy Hodgson's side dominated the game, wasting several chances before holding midfielder Eric Dier thumped into the top corner with a 20-yard free-kick.
Russia keeper Igor Akinfeev made saves from Adam Lallana and Wayne Rooney, whose shot was tipped on to the post.
But Vasili Berezutski's looping header over Joe Hart left England deflated.
England missed the chance to move level at the top of Group B with Wales, who won 2-1 against Slovakia earlier on Saturday.
