Tom Ince and Jordan Henderson scored crackers in the Under-21s session in Serbia


Tom Ince and Jordan Henderson both scored pearlers as England Under-21s trained for the first time in Serbia.

And it was going to take something special to beat keepers Jack Butland, Ben Amos and Jason Steele in the session at the home of Serbian SuperLeague outfit FK Radnicki Nis.

Butland was in inspired form yet again, dealing with a series of strikes in the small-sided game at the end of training, but could do nothing about Ince's swirling first-time drive from 18 yards out.

Steele, likewise, was helpless as Henderson's free-kick bent around the wall and found the top corner of the net.

Conditions were surprising warm in Nis, which is an hour away from the venue for Tuesday's Euro 2013 play-off decider in Krusevac.

A muggy morning cleared to make way for sunshine and temperatures around 20 degrees. It's expected to be warmer on match day, but will cool off in time for the game, which kicks off at 6pm local time.

FATV were at training as usual and you can see the best bits in the player below.



Tuesday's second leg in Serbia will be live on ESPN. Kick off is 5pm BST.
