Booom! What a penalty. You don't save those. Wayne Rooney rattles in his 41st England goal. Barely deserved.

Out of nothing, England have a spot-kick. Raheem Sterling is taken out by Omar Elabdellaoui...

Alex Pearce's low shot from 12 yards sneaks inside the post to surely secure victory for the Republic of Ireland.

Grout in Wigan, drying paint in London. Some rock 'n roll lifestyles being lived out there...

"We talked about players before the game who could come in and do a job for England. There's not much to pick from. Some of them aren't good enough at this level. A lot of these are here are very inexperienced at this level and you hope that they learn very quickly."

Joe via text: I've seen more entertainment in paint drying.

David in London via text: Phew. I was just watching my paint dry and it all just got a bit too much. Luckily England are always there for me.

Steve in Hereford via text: Have I missed anything?

Daniel Sturridge has cut his head in a challenge and has some Terminator 2-style freezing spray applied to it. Ouch!

England have had the same number of shots on target as Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland tonight. Zero.

Zip. Nil.

"If anything the crowd is getting quieter - and this has given Norway greater encouragement. Worryingly for manager Roy Hodgson, England's defensive pair has looked a little vulnerable under slight pressure."

If we were at Villa Park it'd be rocking - there's 40,181 inside Wembley tonight. Can they get a goal to celebrate?

John Stones is now much more mobile than me, he seems to have shaken off that injury problem for now. Norway are by far the better side since the break.

Another injury now as John Stones twinges a calf. He's trying to run this one off but he's moving like me right now. Towing a fridge.

Mats Daehli is helped on to a stretcher and is now replaced by Anders Konradsen. Keep your fingers crossed Cardiff fans.

"Joe Hart Man of the Match v Norway at home. Wow."

The Republic of Ireland are denied by another goal-line clearance, this time Aiden McGeady's shot is kept out by Mohammad Al Musalami. Both sides have made numerous substitutions, contributing to a scrappy and disjointed second half.

Bad news for Cardiff fans as midfielder Mats Daehli is down in a lot of pain clutching his knee. Oxygen needed, and now a stretcher. That looks a bit serious.

James Jones: , externalEngland are putting in usual substandard performance. It's not Roy's fault, the state of English football is to blame.

Simon McCauley:, external So the grass grew 0.036 inches during the first half of the England v Norway game.

Well played Joe Hart again, and it has to be, as Gary Cahill makes a mistake on the right flank, Josh King gets in and it's two-on-two, King goes for the cross/shot and Hart is big and strong to keep it out.

So sloppy at the back...

Roy Hodgson rests a hand across his jaw. Puzzled, perplexed, pensive. Not good viewing for the sparse crowd so far. England started slowly and have gone backwards.

"That has got to be the wake-up call. England haven't got out and Norway have had good possession. Joe Hart just made the best save of the match - his only save so far."

Another brilliant set-piece, and a great save from Joe Hart! Blackburn forward Josh King beats John Stones in the air and Hart makes a big one-handed stop to claw it out.

Wake up England!
