England's Uefa Nations League campaign may have started with defeat against World Cup holders Spain at Wembley but three subsequent victories, all achieved in convincing fashion, hinted at progress and optimism.
Indeed, it could have been four wins from four had Kane scored the penalty that would have put England 3-1 up against Spain before the lost 3-2, but head coach Tuchel will have been highly satisfied with what he has seen since.
England, after winning 7-0 in Croatia, were a threat again against the Czechs at Wembley, although Eberechi Eze failed to make the most of his opportunity with in-form Anthony Gordon rested.
Tuchel's attacking force is now set in stone, led by captain Harry Kane, with Gordon and Bukayo Saka on either side and Jude Bellingham stamping his world-class in the number 10 position.
Trent Alexander-Arnold took his chance at right-back after being recalled by Tuchel following his World Cup exclusion, looking solid in defence - albeit not under huge pressure - while offering an extra dimension in attack.
Newcastle United's Hall now has strong claims to be first-choice left-back, while Jarell Quansah impressed with his versatility at right-back then in central defence against the Czechs, cementing his place as a vital part of Tuchel's squad.
England face Croatia next in November before their biggest test, away to Spain, but they have foundations to build on.
And it was fitting that Kane marked the night when he equalled that caps record with two goals, capping a pleasing international break for Tuchel and England.
