England coach Jones feels hailed the team ethic of his men. He said to ITV1: "We took a couple of good opportunities in the first half which put us in a good position.
"They obviously came back in the second half through an error with us, and then we had to find ourselves.
"It was one of those 'bring it on' moments, where you decided whether to stick at or you go individual and we stuck out and I thought it was brilliant."
