    Chris Coates:  Great to see Shelvey playing, only one who's shown any class so far.

    Roger Curlett:  Vardy, Stones & Shelvey have started well but Barkley & The Ox need to do more.

    San Marino 0-2 England

    Crosses galore are being pumped into the San Marino penalty area but there's no end product. 

    The game is being played at a very slow pace, England are cruising but this isn't exciting.

    I was a bit disappointed to see Jonjo Shelvey in the holding midfield role but what he does give you is a range of passing. He is starting to pick holes in the San Marino defence.

    Here's a decent stat.

    Cristian Brolli's own goal means that 'own goals' are now joint level top with Wayne Rooney and Sir Bobb Charlton in the history of the England team with 49.

    England are doing the right things. They keep switching the play from the left to the right and vice versa and Luke Shaw has put in some quality delivery.

    England double their lead as Luke Shaw pings a quality cross into the San Marino six yard area and Cristian Brolli, attempting to clear it, glances it into his own net.

    Far too easy.

    England are on course to qualify for Euro 2016 but there's nothing here for European heavyweights Germany and Spain to fear.

    It's a scrappy game punctured with niggly fouls.

    Those here in search of history would have craved an early Wayne Rooney goal - and it has arrived with that penalty. It's all set up for Rooney to eclipse Sir Bobby Charlton's record of 49 goals - and it was good to see some San Marino supporters recognising the significance of that moment.

    Sharp, short passes by England. But move are breaking down in the final third.

    Wayne Rooney is desperate for this record. He is running himself into the ground, chasing every ball.

    Kenny Kong : Well this penalty decision surprised everyone! The response from England says it all, simple bemusement.

    VB:  Rooney might have the statistics but nobody would put him in their England all-time XI. Or even XXII.

    Christophe Talbotski:  That's how @garylineker, external should have taken his penalty for goal number 49.

    Wayne Rooney turns his man and he's bearing down on goal. 

    Is this the record-breaking goal? Rooney takes aim and fires...and keeper Aldo Simoncini beats his effort away.

    The ball falls into the path of James Milner but he can't steer it into the net.

    Lots of noise from England's fans but it's anything but fluent from Roy Hodgson's men despite their lead.

    Wayne Rooney celebrated his goal by looking up to the sky before letting out an almighty smile. Almost all his team-mates joined him in his celebration.

    Perfect start for Roy Hodgson's side. San Marino are struggling to get out of their half.

    Once Wayne Rooney got that ball in his hand, he was so cool and just slotted it into the corner. One more to go.

    Confusion - but England have a penalty. The referee appears to spot a push in the box as a cross comes in. Up steps Wayne Rooney...

    Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain hooks the ball into the six-yard area where Wayne Rooney and Jamie Vardy are lining up. Vardy launches himself at it but his head accidentally connects with Cristian Brolli who needs treatment.
