Harry Kane wanted to take his time, to revel in the moment and, after the season he has had so far, who could blame him? The England captain walked over to Jordan Henderson, having watched his number go up in the 63rd minute and, with deliberate ceremony, transferred the armband to him. Then it was applause for all four corners of Wembley and a little trot towards the bench.
England were 5-0 up at the time, the goals having come during a first-half assault on the Albania goal, and Kane had three of them. He should have had more because the visitors gave a disaster-class in defending but he could be well pleased at his return, which served to slice through the latest round of scrutiny of him.
