England confirmed on Monday that Kane, who was wearing golden boots during a training session in the morning, will start the match against Finland, where he will be captain for the 73rd time.

The 31-year-old Kane has played in more games at major finals (28) than any other English male player and has played in more competitive matches (83) than any other senior men's international.

"I feel in good shape, at a peak in my career. Watching other players, Ronaldo scoring his 901st goal, seeing him compete at 39 inspires me to play for as long as possible," Kane told reporters on Monday.
