  1. 'There are goals in this game'

    Lithuania 0-2 England

    Danny Mills
    BBC Radio 5 live in Vilnius

    "England in and around the box are decent, pinging the ball around. But I'd like to see them play with more tempo, because there are more goals in this game. 

    "At the moment they are playing well, steadily. But they need to show us what they can really do, because these are players on the fringes of the squad. This is their opportunity to play their way into Roy Hodgson's thinking for a starting berth next summer."

  2. Lithuania 0-2 England

    The prolific 'OG' is now up to 50 for England with that strike. Wayne Rooney now only England's joint record holder again...

  3. Get involved

    #bbcfootball

    Sam Skilton: If England score five tonight we top the group with 30 points and 30 goals scored. Not bad.

    Jon Hare: Direct football. Beautiful.

    Dalto65: I take it all back! This game isn't dull, goals make a real difference. Even Jamie Vardy could score against this lot!

  4. Lithuania 0-2 England

    England manager Roy Hodgson was keen to see what Tottenham's Harry Kane could do in captain Wayne Rooney's absence and he can have no complaints tonight. He had already three shots saved before his powerful strike led to England's second - perfect 10 coming up.

  5. Lithuania 0-2 England

    That may go down as an own goal - harshly. The ball went in off the head of goalkeeper Giedrius Arlauskis.

  6. 'The keeper will be disappointed'

    "Fantastic from Harry Kane. He had had two sighters already, and this time found himself in lots of space. The keeper will be disappointed with that. This game is now just a case of - how many for England?"

    GOAL - Lithuania 0-2 England

    Giedrius Arlauskis (OG)

    Brilliant again from Harry Kane - he's been England's best player all night. He plays a cracking one-two with Adam Lallana, drives into the area and then hits a hammer of a left-foot shot. Off the post, off the keeper's head and in. Like Wayne Rooney v Switzerland, Euro 2004. 

    It goes down as an own goal for the Lithuania keeper.

    Kyle Utterson: He may have been fortunate with the deflection but great positivity from Barkley. Great to see he is in top form.

    Richard Todd: It's been confirmed Ross 'Gazza' Barkley has the old magic of Gazza, using the defender to bamboozle the keeper.

    Aldino: Adam Lallana seduces the ball every time it's within five yards of him. A joy to behold. Romantic.

    Blimey. Aldino's getting all hot and bothered...

  9. GREAT SAVE!

    Lithuania 0-1 England

    Good save Jack Butland! Lithuania's first real attack sees Lukas Spalvis get clear on the left, just outside the area. His shot is hard and well directed, it may take a touch off Phil Jagielka and Butland has to make a flying save with his left hand. 

  10. Lithuania 0-1 England

    Plenty of paper aeroplanes on the pitch on the far side as England win a free-kick. Adam Lallana's delivery is a good one but Phil Jagielka can't steer the header on goal.

  11. 'Game over for me'

    Lithuania 0-1 England

    Chris Waddle
    BBC Radio 5 live

    "It's the first time Barkley had got near the goal. That's game over for me, now. It's just how many England can get."

  12. 'A really good strike'

    Lithuania 0-1 England

    Danny Mills
    BBC Radio 5 live in Vilnius

    "That's the first time Barkley has had the opportunity to get a shot on goal. Head down, and just fantastic. In off the post - a really good strike, after shifting the ball with great movement. A slight deflection perhaps, and it was just enough to take the ball away from the keeper. 

    "Now England can go on and play with more freedom, more expression, and enjoy this match a little bit more."

  13. Lithuania 0-1 England

    Ross Barkley is such a positive player, he makes a difference from nearly every other England midfielder. His first touch is toward goal and he's not afraid to have a shot. 

  14. Elsewhere in Europe

    Spain have taken a 1-0 lead over Ukraine through Villarreal defender Mario Gaspar's header, while Cesc Fabregas has also missed a penalty.

    Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik has put Slovakia 1-0 up at Luxembourg, which means they are taking the second automatic qualification spot in Group C alongside the Spaniard.

    GOAL - Lithuania 0-1 England

    Ross Barkley

    The game needed that! Ross Barkley shows his technique again to turn away from a defender with a lovely first touch and then arrows an early, powerful shot on goal from 20 yards. It takes a huge deflection off the back of a defender and hits the post on its way in. Will that light the blue-touch paper?

  16. Lithuania 0-0 England

    Phil Jones steps into midfield to make the extra man, he finds Adam Lallana with a sharp pass, his first touch is superb to take him away from the defender but then he overdoes it and squirts a cross out of play. Poor in the end.

  17. Lithuania 0-0 England

    Chris Waddle
    BBC Radio 5 live

    "I don't mind 3G pitches, because they require a good touch. This at the moment resembles a practice match for England. The only question is, when are they going to score?"

  18. Litthuania 0-0 England

    Phil McNulty
    BBC Sport chief football writer

    All very low-key so far. England probing but not finding a way through apart from some snap shots from Harry Kane and Lithuania no threat, although any signs of life from the home team bring an instant and very noisy reaction from the home support here in Vilnius. They are just waiting for something to shout about - but not had much yet.

  19. Lithuania 0-0 England

    Harry Kane has another low shot from 20 yards which the keeper saves well. That remains England's only outlet.

    "Roy Hodgson has been out onto the touchline, glaring at the assistant referee. I'm not sure what the assistant's done wrong. Maybe Roy's not happy with how England are performing."
