OptaJoe:, external Wayne Rooney created four goalscoring chances vs Switzerland, twice as many as any other player in the game. Leader.

Graham Jack Thirkill:, external Best England have been for as long as I can remember tonight. Rooney created the first goal superbly. Sterling is so exciting.

What's next for England then? It's San Marino at Wembley on 9 October, followed by a trip to Estonia three days later.

Tom Garry:, external Pleasantly surprised. Plenty of positives after a grim summer. Prefer #ENG in this shape. Pleased for Welbeck. Will win group.

Dave Flood:, external England win in exciting, entertaining match. Pinch me I'm dreaming

James Clarke:, external So basically we've qualified with nine games to spare

England's win has, not surprisingly, gone down well.

NP: Get in, what a win played as a team with every player looking happy to play for their country bit of spirit back in the side.

Sam J from Oxford: This Swiss team took Argentina all the way in the World Cup knockouts. I appreciate that most England fans can never be happy, but I'm elated with a win here. Lots of positives for a very young team.

"I said before the game I wanted England to show a bit of determination and man-up a little bit and they have done that.

"It was like an old-fashioned England performance with a high tempo and having a go. The front three chased lost causes and that set the tempo.

"I think on the balance of play that was a much better performance. There are still deficiencies but that was a massive improvement."

Every England game tends to be seen as a disaster or a triumph - so how do you take that win? Impressed? Still worried? What were the highlights?

Let us know.

Fergus Alexson:, external This is why, as a united fan, I was gutted to see Welbeck go

Henry:, external More impressive? Welbeck scoring twice or Wilshere NOT getting hurt?

Stu Richards:, external Would it be too stereotypical to say that the Swiss never really got out of neutral tonight?

That's it. And England's toughest test in the group is aced.

Clinical, clinical counter! Job very well done as Raheem Sterling releases Rickie Lambert, he takes his time to feed in Danny Welbeck on his left and the new Arsenal man buries it confidently, slotting into the corner. Gary Neville is in the air, Roy Hodgson gives it the double fist pump...

On Wayne Rooney's performance: "I think he's done well. He's not been perfect by any means but he has worked very hard and produced that moment for the goal. He made the difference for the goal.

"He has answered many of his critics this evening. Never mind the captaincy, people are saying he shouldn't be in the team. I think that's ridiculous."

Jordan Henderson toes the ball away and Raheem Sterling is away. Bags of pace, all sorts of pace as he skips away down the flank, he then cuts inside and lashes over the bar from 20 yards. Excitement? He's got it.

We have FIVE MINUTES added on as James Milner does the 'think about it' sign to his team-mates. Rickie Lambert is immediately booked, I think for kicking the ball away.

Montenegro, who shared a couple of feisty games with England in Euro 2012 qualification, are 2-0 to the good against Moldova, Mirko Vucinic and Zarko Tomasevic.

Luxembourg might have to wait for their first win in more than a year. Belarus has levelled up at 1-1 through Stanislav Dragun in Group C.

Wayne Rooney is off as we tick into stoppage time - on comes Rickie Lambert. Win some headers, win some free-kicks and throws Rickie...

Keepers! Good claim from Joe Hart. Comes out, makes himself big and claims it well. Here comes Rickie Lambert.

Wayne Rooney doesn't give up on a lost cause and Danny Welbeck wins a corner from it. Good game management on display here. They're killing the game off pretty well.

Less of a text message, more a mission statement...

The longest ever text to appear in our live coverage? Quite probably.

MJ: Watching #bbcfootball live reporting as it happens and having followed England for 45 years imagining the kick and rush, the mis-control, the rash tackles and the lack of class... Misses one end, lucky defending the other and bluster but not much else in midfield. Nothing changes. When will someone realise England's version of football is never going to beat teams where every player has to have the necessary skills to compete at the top level?

England players simply don't. Can they pass accurately with both feet, retain possession and string passes together that stretch defences or frustrate opponents and panic them into mistake? The simple answer is NO. Can the top teams do that to England? YES and regularly. England simply don't have the necessary skills to match the real competition and the sooner supporters, players and administrators wake up to the fact and are honest about the team's limitations the better.

BBC Sport Chief Football Writer Phil McNulty in Basel

"Switzerland trying to apply some late pressure here but England standing firm - with Raheem Sterling's pace giving them a devastating outlet on the break."
