Paul Hart's side suffered a bad blow after only two minutes when skipper DesWalker limped off, bringing an abrupt end to his recall after a thigh injury.
The England side included six of the starting line-up from the 1990 semi-final, with Gascoigne joined by Peter Shilton, Peter Beardsley, David Platt, DesWalker and Mark Wright, plus other members of the 1990 squad such as John Barnes and Trevor Steven.
