    "England have done the job, simple as that. A perfect 10 - I'm sure that will be tomorrow's headlines.

    "But now England have to look forward to next summer - how good can they be at a tournament? 

    "There is now a good mix of young players and some experience too. This is a real opportunity for an emerging squad to do something decent in France."

    "It's all about next summer now. There are some testing friendlies before then, and I really hope they are testing. Then we'll get a much better sense of where this England team are."

    "It's been a comfortable victory on a difficult surface. The ball has bobbled a little bit, and any pass a couple of feet wide is very difficult to control and I think England found it hard early on. But the pitch was only a leveller early on - England's technical ability has seen them through."

    Where will Andros Townsend be playing next season? Can't see him staying at Tottenham. Got Sunderland (loan) written all over him in January. He wins a free-kick which comes to nothing.

    Dele Alli keeps the ball alive after a cross hits the corner flag. Andros Townsend then crosses for Jamie Vardy to head over. England's third and fourth-choicers going through the motions.

    Gareth Murray: Andros Townsend. Why?

    Francis Edwards: Same every year, getting positives out of playing against pub teams. England are OK in friendlies and then crumbling when it matters.

    Karen Lynch: What is wrong with everyone? England can only play who they've been drawn against. Stop moaning and get behind them!

    Into the last 10 minutes in Vilnius and England on track to make it 10 out of 10. The draw for the finals is on 12 December. Then the fun really can begin.

    "Danny Ings is on the pitch. Would he have received an England call-up if he was still playing for Burnley?"

    Jonjo Shelvey is booked for charging down a free-kick, and from the re-take Jamie Vardy follows suit! Two bookings. 

    Just let him shoot lads...

    Final change, and a three-out-of three on my little sweepstake as Andros Townsend replaces Ross Barkley. It's almost like we've seen this game before...

    Good hit Danny Ings! Low and hard, really nice trajectory on the ball but that man Giedrius Arlauskis makes a cracking save again, and a defender does well to sweep it up.

    Agree Nexus - these games are pointless for teams like England though aren't they? Would the young players not learn more from another week with their clubs?

    Maybe it's just me.

    Lucas: In just 10 years we have gone from Neville and Owen to Kyle Walker and Danny Ings. How depressing is that?

    Nexus: All too easy tonight. The friendly against France will give us a real yardstick for where we are. 

    Dave Payn: England - win, lose or draw the reaction's the same; fans and ex-players whinge. Truly laughable.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 65 mins

    Dele Alli is now on for a rather longer run-out for England, he replaces Adam Lallana, who did OK. I fear he may lack a bit of volume for Jurgen Klopp's 'heavy-metal' football at Liverpool. We shall see,

    "Sheer power beat the goalkeeper there. The keeper gambled and went down a fraction early, but it was a great move and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain thrashed it home. Very, very comfortable for England."

  20. 'England can score as many as they want'published at 21:06 British Summer Time 12 October 2015

    Chris Waddle
    BBC Radio 5 live

    "That was a good strike from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. England can score as many as they want, but they are not clinical enough in the final third and some of their decisions are poor. 

    "But Lithuania are the worst team I have seen in this group and if England step it up they can score many more."
