    Kyle Utterson: Pleased Roy Hodgson has gone with a positive attacking side and pleased he has stuck with Barkley and playing Vardy.

    Johnny Magrinho: As much as I'm a Vardy fan, he genuinely looks out of his depth, against Lithuania...

    Steven McNamara: I'm no England fan but they have quality like Sterling, Barkley, Wilshere when fit. But pub team opposition won't develop them.

    England's best, maybe only, route to goal so far has been a 20-yarder from Harry Kane. Jamie Vardy and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have been anonymous since that opening two or three minutes. Could the full-backs push on and offer some width?

    It's all very neat and tidy but England trying to play the perfect pass sometimes. What's wrong with the ball in to Harry Kane?That's better again, fine strike on goal from Kane, loads of power but again the goalkeeper is able to push it out.

    "Great effort by Harry Kane. He spotted an opening and drove it, and the keeper did very well to get down to that."

    First strike of the game, and it's a good one. Harry Kane takes aim from 22 yards out, plenty of power on the shot and it hits the post after a nick off the gloves of Giedrius Arlauskis. The best moment so far from Kane.

    Now then! The referee has to come over to tell Roy Hodgson off! I'm not sure what has rattled Roy but he is livid! Gary Neville and Ray Lewington look on bemused as Roy gets a proper telling off from Kenn Hansen. Roy livid!

    Get artificial pitches in in the lower leagues, I say. Makes sense, the players will just have to adapt.

    Jamie Vardy gets the ball wide on the left, beats Linas Klimavicius for pace but can't quite keep the ball in. Nobody had a shot for England yet.

    "Playing on a plastic pitch is difficult, as it's a very tricky surface. The players will be wearing specialised boots, footwear that they don't often use. That, and the fact that the ball doesn't always run true. 

    "Astroturf is great for kids and amazing for amateur football, but at international level I really do think you should play on grass."

    Nice one-two on the right wing sends Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in behind the full-back, the Ox powers on and arrows a low cross into the penalty area but it's well dealt with by Giedrius Arlauskis.

    There have just been a few brief skirmishes between rival fans at one end of this tiny stadium where some England fans have posted themselves near Lithuania supporters. Riot police were quickly on the scene have now formed a human barrier separating the two groups. All calm for now.

    The less said of that, the better. I've not seen or heard anything from here - but I am in Salford.

    We are under way! The pitch is very wet, big splashes up from each bounce so far.

    "Thankfully the trouble that was alluded to earlier on seems to have been quelled. There are riot police in the stands to our right. I don't know what sparked it, but I have seen missiles being thrown. Just awful, absolutely awful. So out of keeping with the day we've had in this beautiful city."

    "There is segregation inside this stadium but it seems to have broken down. We have seen some punches thrown and now the police have moved in behind one of the goals..."

    It's even smaller than FA Cup third-round day in fact. It has the look of your local 5-a-side centre. There's another set of blokes kicking a mitre delta around the car park waiting for England to get off. Has everyone got £3?

    "England qualified for the World Cup in Brazil with ease, but were a disaster at the tournament. England could have won this particular group playing their under-21s. 

    "England have been in control from kick-off in every game they've played. They might have won every game, and well done to them, but just look at the opposition."

    Interesting night for Jack Butland in goal tonight. He absolutely deserves his chance - he's been excellent for Stoke this year - but he faces the risk of not being involved much if England dominate.

    Phil is very keen for me to tell you that the hat he was pictured wearing [see 18:42] IS NOT his. He was offered it as he was looking cold....
