After five consecutive wins, this was England's first draw at qualifying
Gareth Southgate, England's boss, said that he didn't make substitutions in the World Cup qualifier against Poland because he was confident his side would win.
Harry Kane's long-range opener, however, was cancelled by Damian Szymanski’s header.
England's record of 100% in Group I was broken by the team, but they are still on track to qualify for Qatar 2022.
Southgate stated, "We were playing well. We were in control."
"In those moments, it's difficult to be a substitute. We would be taking people off just for the sake.
"We were in complete control. There was no problem. Why disrupt it when you are in control?"
Southgate was criticized for using substitutions in England's run to the Euro 2020 final. External-link stated that he planned to change his mind in the last few minutes, but the equaliser changed his plans.
He stated that he wanted to make substitutions towards end but that when the goal was scored, he thought it was futile because he would be adding more time.
Southgate has been informed about an incident that occurred before half-time.
Before half-time, Harry Maguire from England and Kamil Glik from Poland were booked.
A feisty encounter saw Kamil Glik from Poland appear to grab Kyle Walker's neck at the end the first half.
Half-time saw both sets of players clash, and Glik was booked for England's Harry Maguire.
England reported the incident the match officials and the refereeing group.
Southgate stated that they are now able to understand what it was, BBC Radio 5 Live.
"There has been a report and we need to know more about what happened. We are still gathering evidence, so I don't think it's worth me speculate any further.
Kane confirmed that the incident occurred before half-time.
He said, "They're taking it care of it and investigating and we'll take it from there."
"Allegedly, it was something that had been done, not spoken."
Analysis: "A little tiredness led us to our goal"
Terry Butcher, former England defender, on BBC Radio 5 Live:
"Gareth Southgate had 2 substitutes, Bukayo Saka was the other, but he didn’t put them on.
"In the end, a little tiredness by the defenders led Poland to score a goal. England may have deserved to win, but Poland deserves to be praised for its spirit.
"We put on no weight, but the manager did with Poland's substitutions. They put on five, and we put on none."
What you called a "absurd" lack of substitutions
Russell: The deepest team in world football, with not one substitution. It's absurd. Walker is the most fit defender I have ever seen, and he was already on his feet when that goal was scored. Southgate will expect his full-backs to play so much forward, so he must rotate them between games.
Joe Baker: Southgate's inability during games to think on his feet again was demonstrated by Southgate's lack of substitutes. It doesn't really matter tonight but, as Southgate demonstrated in the Euro2020 final, when he was too reactive tactically, it can cost us big games.
Trevor Priestman. Gareth will be criticized for not substituting, but four points away from Hungary and Poland is a good job. They survived in both hostile environments that could have caused a team to collapse, but they did not. Take the positives and work on the minor mistakes, then go again in October.
