    Euro 2016 logoUEFA

    Book your flights, boats, trains now...England are at Euro 2016 with three games to spare. 

  2. San Marino 0-6 England

    Two additional minutes.

  3. San Marino 0-6 England

    England's travelling fans are making themselves heard in the closing stages. It might have been flat in the first half but their team has produced a professional performance. Job done.

  4. San Marino 0-6 England

    Plenty of plus points for Roy Hodgson.

    Not only have England qualified for Euro 2016, they have emerged from this game without any injuries. Jonjo Shelvey has done his chances of making the plane to France next summer no harm at all while substitutes Theo Walcott and Harry Kane has grasped their chance.

  5. San Marino 0-6 England

    Joe Hart has had little to do but admire the views around this scenic ground but the Manchester City is tested with six minutes of normal time remaining by a shot from Adolfo Hirsch.

  6. CLOSE!

    San Marino 0-6 England

    Theo Walcott should be going home with the match ball. John Stones plays a delightful ball into the path of the substitute but his finish is narrowly wide.

  7. 'Beautiful goal'

    Harry Kane celebratesPA

    For anyone who has got any question marks over Harry Kane's confidence in front of goal, that goal shows they needn't worry. It was a beautiful goal and that will be a really nice feeling for him."

  8. San Marino 0-6 England

    So that's 11 goals England have scored against the Group E minnows in this qualifying campaign.

    Can they get another?

    GOAL - San Marino 0-6 England

    Theo Walcott

    A striker's finish.

    England score two in as many minutes and this is tough going for San Marino now. Ross Barkley slips the ball through to Theo Walcott, who slides a finish beyond the San Marino keeper from 10 yards.

    Out of nowhere, Walcott's on a hat-trick!

  10. goal

    GOAL - San Marino 0-5 England

    Harry Kane

    Harry Kane's season is up and running. And what a beautiful finish.

    Jonjo Shelvey threads the ball through the home defence but Kane still has work to do. The keeper comes off his line but Kane waits for him to go down before lobbing it into the net.

  11. San Marino 0-4 England

    His players have struggled at times to deal with a bobbly pitch but Roy Hodgson has just shown a tremendous first touch on the sidelines after the ball fell at his feet. 

    Best touch of the game?

  12. 'Puzzling change'

    England manager Roy Hodgson obviously believes history can wait for another day as Wayne Rooney is taken off after equalling Sir Bobby Charlton's record of 49 England goals.

    Bit puzzling and quite frankly extremely inconsiderate...for those us primed to write about Rooney reaching the great landmark.

  13. San Marino 0-4 England

    This has not been a perfect England performance by any stretch of the imagination.

    After John Stones's mistake earlier, Joe Hart, who has had very little to do, shows a lack of concentration by carelessly spilling the ball at the feet of a San Marino player before diving on top of it.

  14. 'San Marino switch off'

    When you get tired you start to switch off and that is what is happening to San Marino. Theo is fresh and he has stolen in at the far post and scored. He is a player who is never scared to come inside if he is playing on the right."

    Theo Walcott

    A move made from the substitutes' bench sees England stretch their lead as Theo Walcott, who replaced Arsenal team-mate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain moments earlier, taps home from close range with his first touch after Fabian Delph's low cross.

  16. San Marino 0-3 England

    The amount of possession England have enjoyed has dropped...from 75% to 74%.

    This has not been a test for the back four at all and it's doubtful Roy Hodgson has learned much.

    But it's job done as far as he is concerned.

  17. San Marino 0-3 England

    Wayne Rooney's penalty earlier on moved him above Gary Lineker and level with Sir Bobby Charlton on a record-equalling 49 goals for England.

  18. San Marino 0-3 England

    Wayne Rooney looked over to England's travelling fans and clapped as he made his way off the pitch.

    His replacement Kane hasn't really got into this yet. 

    The game has gone flat again after England's impressive start to the second half.

  19. 'A strange one'

    I suppose if there is a stage to be set for you to break that record it would probably be at Wembley in front of your own fans. Some England fans made their way here to witness him breaking the record and I feel for them. It is a strange one but for Harry Kane it is an opportunity to get that goalscoring feeling back in his boots.

  20. SUBSTITUTION

    So Wayne Rooney's wait to become England's greatest goalscorer continues.

    Having joined Sir Bobby Charlton at the top of the all-time scoring charts, Rooney makes way for Tottenham striker Harry Kane. 

    Roy Hodgson clearly has his eye on Tuesday's match against Switzerland at Wembley but what a stage for Rooney to break the record.

    Fabian Delph is also on for James Milner.
