Harry Kane scored a hat-trick as England recorded their biggest World Cup victory by thrashing Panama 6-1 in Nizhny Novgorod.
John Stones also got two goals and Jesse Lingard added a beauty but who else impressed?
This is chief football writer Phil McNulty's verdict from Russia, along with the ratings you provided courtesy of our player rater.
Jordan Pickford (goalkeeper) 6
Bit like England's opening game against Tunisia - no chance with the goal but real confidence with the ball at his feet.
Your rating: 6.57
Kieran Trippier (right wing-back) 8
Emerging as one of England's World Cup stars. Top class again and deadly set-piece delivery.
Your rating: 7.83
Kyle Walker (centre-back) 6
Still growing into an unaccustomed position but is a huge asset for England's back-line with his pace.
Your rating: 6.89
John Stones (centre-back) 8
Untroubled at the back but has now emerged as a huge threat in attack in both games. Two headed goals and an increasing force in the opposition box.
Your rating: 8.29
Harry Maguire (centre-back) 7
No serious work to do in defence but such a powerful presence at set-pieces.
Your rating: 6.89
Ashley Young (left wing-back) 6
Showed good attacking threat but will have greater defensive tests to come.
Your rating: 6.32
Jordan Henderson (defensive midfield) 7
Worked as hard as ever and once again not far off scoring.
Your rating: 7.15
Ruben Loftus-Cheek (attacking midfield) 7
Cruised through the game. Sound in possession and unruffled at this level.
Your rating: 6.89
Jesse Lingard (attacking midfield) 8
Game-changing talent with a golden touch. Brilliant strike for England's third.
Your rating: 8.48
Raheem Sterling (forward) 7
Huge endeavour without much luck in front of goal - helped create Lingard's stunner, almost scored himself with a header and justified selection.
Your rating: 5.3
Harry Kane (forward) 9
England's captain is the most important figure in the team. Goalscorer, leader - and happily a lucky leader with his hat-trick goal.
Your rating: 8.63
Substitutes
Jamie Vardy (for Harry Kane 63 mins): Busy but England lost some momentum when he came on - 6.
Fabien Delph (for Jesse Lingard 63 mins): Same as Vardy - 6.
Danny Rose (for Kieran Trippier 70 mins): Had little or nothing to do - 5.
