Thomas Tuchel’s side created little of note in the face of Ghana’s determined low block — although England thought they had won the match late on when Nico O’Reilly headed against the post and Harry Kane smashed the rebound over.
Tempers threatened to boil over on more than one occasion during the draw, although the point all but guarantees both of these nations safe passage to the knockout stages.
The 1982 World Cup first group stage remains the only time England have ever won all of their group games at a major tournament.
And there goes the final whistle!
A really poor game at an otherwise exciting World Cup is brought to an end and there are celebrations from Ghana players and fans.
They did so well to hang on to that draw and it means they are level with England on four points at the top of Group L.
Work to do for Thomas Tuchel and his players to confirm top spot.
This Ghana defending has been magnificent and they are on the cusp of earning a famous draw.
England seem to have run of ideas and time to find a winning goal.
One minute left on the clock.
Another chance for England from another corner!
A bit of head tennis in the Ghana penalty area ended with Guehi rising highest to head towards goal. Goalkeeper Asare was beaten but Kojo Peprah Oppong had positioned himself perfectly on the goal line to head clear.
A goal-saving block!
A good delivery from Rice towards the back post where Kane had stationed himself. But a nudge from Semenyo and the jump from Fatawu in front of him seemed to put him off and the ball bounced behind for a Ghana goal kick.
It feels like England’s chance of winning was dashed when Kane slammed that left-footed effort over the crossbar, but they have six more minutes to find a winner.
They start the period of stoppage time with a corner over on the left-hand side.
Words exchanged between Pickford and Konsa there as a Ghana chance flew over the crossbar. England have looked a little nervous at the back.
Saka and O’Reilly doing what they came on for there — the winger cut in and fired a far-post shot which is well saved, then the left-back crashed a header against the bar.
For the first time in this game, England finally looked threatening, but how they haven’t scored I’m not sure I’ll ever know.
First, Asare made a strong diving save to keep out Saka from outside the penalty area and then two golden chances passed England by.
O’Reilly leapt to meet a great James delivery but crashed his header against the crossbar. The rebound dropped perfectly for Kane on his left foot from 10 yards and he blazed his effort over the bar.
They have been poor today, but England should have taken the lead there.
Pockets of Ghana fans are making themselves heard in the stadium. If this stays 0-0, they have a 94 per cent chance of reaching the knockouts.
I have no idea why it has taken Tuchel so long to withdraw Madueke but he has finally done it, with seven minutes left plus stoppage time.
On in his stead on the left-hand side is Marcus Rashford who scored England’s fourth goal against Croatia last week.
The thing about Queiroz’s contain-and-counter approach to football is it requires its players to be ruthlessly efficient when goalscoring opportunities come.
Ghana finally had a chance to run in behind the English defence, but Adu was too slow to get his shot away, and his second attempt went straight into Semenyo.
Ghana defended well Tuesday night. They also attacked poorly.
