MEN’S FOOTBALL: England Under-21s boss Lee Carsley insists three points is something he does not “take for granted” after his side edged past Andorra 1-0 at Pride Park on Monday night. 

England were up against a stubborn Andorra low-block and found it hard to break them down until Tyrique George made the breakthrough in the 41st minute. 

The Young Lions would have hoped that opened the floodgates, but Andorra goalkeeper Marc De Castro made six saves to deny England from scoring more, and instead they had to settle for the one-goal win.

They won last week’s first game by an innings and 140 runs. India are ranked as the world’s fourth best test team, four place above the Windies.
