Dean Bowditch produced an outstanding display as England Under-19s drew 1-1 with the Czech Republic.

The Ipswich Town young gun created England's equalising goal in last night's friendly at Norwich City's Carrow Road.

The Czech Republic took a surprise lead but Bowditch engineered the leveller, scored by Derby County's Lee Holmes on 80 minutes.

Meanwhile, Town lost 3-2 in yesterday's reserve match against Leicester City, played at Kettering.

Pablo Counago and Billy Clarke were on target for the Blues.
