The previous record of 49 was held by Bobby Charlton and stood for 45 years from 1970 until Rooney’s 50th goal came against Switzerland in 2015.
Kane was making his first international appearance since missing a penalty during England’s quarter-final exit at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The 29-year-old equalled Rooney’s record from the spot in the 2-1 defeat to France, but later sent a second kick over the bar as England exited the tournament.
His first goal for his country came in 2015 in a 4-0 win over Lithuania.
