  1. I did not see four goals coming in this game 20 minutes ago. That own goal from Jordan Henderson was exactly what the game needed. Looks like England's 100% record will remain intact.

    "That's a much better goal. One-touch passing in and around the box. It shows England can do it - why don't they do it more often?

    "That's what we need to see more of. That's much more positive. Fair play to Danny Welbeck."

  3. GOAL

    That's a really good goal! Lovely play from England. Adam Lallana starts it with a fine ball out to Kieran Gibbs, Danny Welbeck then plays a razor sharp one-two with Raheem Sterling, controls on his thigh and slides past Samir Handanovic.

    The best bit of play by England by a million miles.

    Michael Bench-Capon: Now looking like pretty shrewd play from Jordan Henderson, scoring an own goal to get the match going.

    Gareth Whalley: Can we tell the England team they're one nil down from the start? Only way to make them play interesting football!

    Alex Smith: Secretly Henderson just wanted to wake the England team up. I think it's worked quite well!

  5. England may not be actually playing well but at least there's some urgency to the game now. Adam Lallana dinks in a nice cross from the right and Wayne Rooney heads over the top. Any more goals in the final 20?

    "Very fortunate goal. It was a bit pinball wizard. Samir Handanovic made a good stop with his feet and Danny Welbeck scored from the rebound.

    "I think they're trying to claim offside but the ball went into the net without anyone else touching him so that doesn't apply.

    "Welbeck's name will be in the paper tomorrow and that's all that matters."

  7. Chris Waddle calls for Adam Lallana and Danny Welbeck to be taken off and seconds later they combine to put England away. The anti commentators' curse...

  8. GOAL

    Scruffy, scrappy, success?

    Adam Lallana's turn inside the area unlocks the Slovenia defence, his low cross is palmed out into the danger area by Samir Handanovic and Danny Welbeck reacts sharply. He stretches to meet the ball and while his shot is only scuffed goalwards of the inside of his calf, it does enough to bobble into the corner and put England ahead.

  9. Chris Waddle

    "A little bit better from England and it's good to see Sterling drifting out wide.

    "Slovenia still carry a slight threat. I'd like to see Ross Barkley on instead of Adam Lallana and Danny Welbeck is quiet. There's two changes I'd like to see."

  10. It's been a good night for Ukraine's Andriy Yarmolenko, who has scored all three goals to put his country 3-0 up in Luxembourg in Group C.

    Paul Thompson: Can we now end the debate about Rooney being an England great? Great players make things happen and he's just changed the game.

    Peter Collins: Think Rooney is angry about something? At least he took it out on the poor ball!

    Will Jackson: That goal and penalty is exactly why Rooney is the captain. Steps up when he is needed. Well done.

  12. Chasing the record

    Sir Bobby Charlton has 49 goals for England.

    Gary Lineker has 48.

    Jimmy Greaves and Wayne Rooney have 44.

  13. CLOSE!

    The chances continue to come as a mistake from Phil Jagielka lets Kevin Kampl in on goal. He tries to get the ball on to his right foot but Gary Cahill slides over to make a fine challenge and turn the ball away for a corner.

  14. BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty at Wembley

    "Slovenia may just have prodded England into life after going ahead through Jordan Henderson's own goal.

    "Wayne Rooney, to the relief of Wembley and no doubt his manager Roy Hodgson, made sure the visitors' celebrations were cut short almost instantly. Now can England take advantage of the momentum they have with the equaliser?"

  15. Danny Mills
    BBC Radio 5 live

    "It was a fantastically struck penalty. Far too much power for the goalkeeper.

    "I think it was a clear penalty. It was like a playground trip, where you catch someone's trailing leg and it clips their other leg.

    "Buy why does it take a goal to liven England up?"

  16. A terrible hour at Wembley springs into life in the space of two minutes. Let's keep it up...

  17. GOAL

    A goal on his big night as Wayne Rooney moves on to 44 goals for England - level with Jimmy Greaves. He blasts the spot kick in, and though keeper Samir Handanovic gets a hand on it, he can't keep it out. The crowd are lively, the noise is up. Can the game improve now?

  18. PENALTY to ENGLAND

    What a response! Wayne Rooney runs at the defence and goes down under a challenge from Bostjan Cesar...

  19. GOAL

    Jordan Henderson scores an own goalGetty Images

    It's in there! Slovenia take the lead and give this game the massive kick-start it needed. Milivoje Novakovic whips the ball in and Jordan Henderson heads past Joe Hart. Now then!

  20. Adam Lallana's corner skids through to Wayne Rooney, he picks out Phil Jagielka and his header is easily held by Samir Handanovic. The first effort on target of the night...
