The second the stretcher arrives, Valter Birsa springs to his feet. A classic manoeuvre.

A soft booking as Kieran Gibbs treads on the heel of Valter Birsa. Time out for some treatment as we tick closer to the hour mark. He's called for a stretcher, perhaps that was nastier than it appeared on first viewing.

Rob in Derby: Roy Hodgson is the weak link in this England team. In my opinion we need a positive, young, vibrant manager to unleash our youngsters potential, someone in the Roberto Martinez mould!

WB: Would love to see this game at St James' or the Britannia. Been to Wembley loads. The apathy of the fans feeds to the team.

Phil in Poole: The FA should market this game as a cure for insomniacs everywhere.

Raheem Sterling beats two men and stands up a cross which is headed away. That is better, much better, positive intent from England's attacking players.

Wayne Rooney's first chance of the night as he heads a corner wide of the far post. Is this lady hoping to catch the eye of Ashley Cole? I'm afraid he has retired from international football...

Ian:, external ‏Think we will see more movement from Judy Murray on Strictly tonight than England.

mydogminton:, external I'm actually at Wembley (for the first time ever) and that was still one of the most boring 45 minutes I've ever seen.

Phil Bayley:, external Was at Wembley last weekend for NFL and it was lots better than this. Stop complaining about the pitch - it is being misused now!

The corporate seats at Wembley - which are often slow to fill up after half-time - are particularly barren as this one restarts. Pass the vol au vents...

Back under way. No changes at the break.

It seems some of you managed to enjoy that first-half...

Sam Carr:, external Even coffee struggled to keep me awake during that England first-half performance.

KW:, external I thoroughly enjoyed that first half. I was sat eating my tacos with my back to the TV.

Trev:, external That was a great first half for me. Managed to do most of my Xmas shopping online during the dull bits.

An incident which passed me by in the first half - I was rewatching England's 5-1 win in Germany on YouTube - saw Slovenia captain Bostjan Cesar catch Adam Lallana with a stray elbow off the ball. Very naughty, and very lucky to still be on the field.

Stalemate at Wembley is matched across Europe, apart from in Luxembourg where Ukraine lead 1-0 at half time.

On a positive note, San Marino are only 45 minutes away from a first point of the campaign against Estonia.

Men with forks tend to the scarred Wembley surface at the break. Will Roy Hodgson make any changes? Will he be unhappy with that first half showing?

Seamus:, external Last time England excited me was 1966 but I was only 5 and 3 quarters and if I'd known then what I know now ...

Sandeep:, external To be fair, our World Cup matches against Italy and Uruguay were exciting, we just lost them both.

Joe Simkins:, external Colombia and Argentina games in '98 were really compelling. Sometimes its to do with nostalgia and just being younger though!

I don't want to be too negative - so if you enjoyed that first half, please get in touch.

Casualty is not on until 21:15 I'm afraid Chris. The good folk of Holby can't save you.

"I don't know why we play this diamond at home. We need width to stretch teams and create space for the two strikers.

"We're playing into teams' hands. These are a very ordinary team and we're making it easy for them.

"Get Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain or Ross Barkley on. Just something. We're at home, be positive. I'm looking at it now and thinking 'what time's Casualty on?'"

No shots on target. Nothing going on.

A queue is forming outside of our office for a recording of 'The Voice'. I may bring you live commentary of that in the second half. It will move at a faster pace.

BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty at Wembley

"Let's not fall back on any excuses about the pitch - that was an awful first half from England. Deadly dull, lacking in spark and creativity. Set pieces were wasted and Slovenia have cruised through that first 45 minutes. Simply not good enough."

Nil nil. As nil nil as it gets.
