Record-breaking Henderson England's 'unsung hero'

England will be hoping Jordan Henderson can extend his record-breaking unbeaten run when the Three Lions face Croatia in tonight's World Cup semi-final.

The Liverpool captain has not lost in 30 consecutive appearances for the national team - the longest run of any England player in history.

The 28-year-old has started all four of England's victories in Russia - missing the Group G dead rubber against Belgium - and one more win would see the Three Lions reach the World Cup final for the first time since 1966.

Henderson's distribution, leadership and work rate in the centre of a three-man midfield have been instrumental in the progress of Gareth Southgate's side at the tournament.
