Everton defender Phil Jagielka felt comfortable alongside Chelsea's Gary Cahill for England in their draw with Brazil.
Jagielka was happy with how he and Cahill performed.
"Getting to play two lots of 90 minutes definitely helped," the Everton captain said.
"I came here to play as many minutes as I could and thankfully I got two games and so did Gaz.
"It's always nice to try and strike up a partnership. We have not played that many games together.
"The two tests we have had have been completely different but they have been two great tests and hopefully we will go back now, start next season well and hopefully put up a good shout for next season."
