    Alan, from Devon: And that's why Man Utd sold Welbeck, panics when he has too much time to think - in Van Gaal we trust.

    Got to score! Big chance for Switzerland this time as Phil Jones gives the ball away in a terrible area for England, dangerman Xherdan Shaqiri picks it up and drives in on goal.

    He then sends in Haris Seferovic, who is onside, on his left foot - but Joe Hart stands up well makes a big save. Phil Jones is a relieved man.

    Blues Club Over 31's:, external Good run Welbeck, but surely he has to do better on the cross. Quality needed at this level.

    The Swiss win a corner which is half cleared and Juventus full-back Stephan Lichtsteiner hammers in the shot, catching it sweetly but always rising over the top.

    "It was a really poor ball from Danny Welbeck in the end. It was like he got caught between two minds. He didn't know whether to pick out Rooney or lay it on a plate for Sterling and in the end didn't do either."

  6. (NOT SO) CLOSE!published at 20:16 British Summer Time 8 September 2014

    Got to score! Danny Welbeck flicks the ball around the corner and England have three men piling forwards! He flies down the right, he has Wayne Rooney and Raheem Sterling in the middle crying out for a tap-in - but Welbeck's ball across is poor. It is aimed at Sterling, who is in plenty of space, but fails to find him.

    The final ball was not good enough. Not for the final time I'm sure.

    On Fabian Delph: "Someone needs to get hold of him and have a word in his ear. The referee is doing it. He needs to be very, very careful. It won't take an awful lot for this referee to give him a red card."

    England have scored nine goals in their last 10 games, they could do with a 10th here. Leighton Baines whips in a good ball to the near post and Wayne Rooney heads it wide.

    Fab news.....

    Andy in Armargh: Fabian Delph has really shown his big game inexperience at this level in these opening minutes. I have a real fear that he is going to see red tonight. He's walking a thin line already in this game.

    Mark, Newcastle: Isn't Delph showing Pride; Passion; Commitment? What do people want?

    Sam from Telford: Fabian Delph 2 years overdue for England? Has a lot of steam to let off. Refreshing.

    A touch of Gazza in the 91 Cup Final about Fabian Delph tonight. He is pumped up big time, he's on a booking and has just slid hard into Ricardo Rodriguez. He's very lucky not to connect with the man in red, and if he had he may have seen red...

    Gary Timms:, external I wonder what England fans want sometimes. Other than the obligatory 9-0 win. Give youth a chance. They're too naive. Impossible

    As the commentators switch over in the 5 live box the consensus is that so far, so good for England. Wayne Rooney has had the two best chances of the game but not connected with either properly.

    Spain have hit Macedonia with the old one-two in Valencia. The recently-deposed world champions took the lead though a Sergio Ramos penalty after David Silva was fouled and a minute later debutant Paco Alcacer hooks in to double the advantage.

    James Chapman:, external say it quietly... I think we look good! Remember this side took Argentina to extra time... England look dangerous on the break

  16. Postpublished at 20:06 British Summer Time 8 September 2014

    Jack Wilshere looking busy, Raheem Sterling linking up well with his midfield, it's very watchable stuff.

    "At the moment you would have to say it's maybe going better than we expected.

    "The two England full-backs look the weaker players in the team."

  18. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 20:04 British Summer Time 8 September 2014

    A hairy moment for England as Haris Seferovic is played in, Phil Jones makes the challenge and both players go to ground. The Swiss want a spot-kick but on second viewing there was nothing in that. A good old-fashioned shoulder charge and Seferovic rather lost his footing.

    The hosts having a good few minutes though.

  19. Elsewhere tonightpublished at 20:03 British Summer Time 8 September 2014

    There has been a lively start at the Ernst-Happel Stadion in Vienna where hosts Austria took the lead through a penalty from Bayern Munich's David Alaba before Erkan Zengin equalised for the Sweden on 12 minutes.

    In England and Switzerland's group Deivydas Matulevicius has put Lithuania ahead against San Marino.

    Kyle in Cambridge: There's a certain Scottish manager who is finally available after many years at club level, and who was known for getting the best out of players such as Rooney, Cleverly and Welbeck. Has experience managing Scotland at a World Cup. Roy out, SAF in?
