    Rare chance for England as Jamie Vardy snatches at a chance and blazes over the bar. It sums up this half perfectly.

    "This is what's going to happen in the group at the Euros. Teams are going to sit back and not let England play.

    "Germany took the game to England and that actually suited England. But Russia, Slovakia and Wales will sit back and play on the counter attack.

    "Roy Hodgson may look at this at half-time and change from a diamond to 4-3-3."

    "It was a good if comfortable save by Fraser Forster but Holland picked up the second ball yet again and they are looking lively at times."

  4. GREAT SAVE!published at 26 mins

    England 0-0 Netherlands

    England are dominating possession but cannot do anything with it. There's a Netherlands break and Fraser Forster does well to get down and push Georginio Wijnaldum's low shot away after sloppy play by England.

    "England against Germany was a wonderful international friendly. This one? Less so.

    "The hosts have created next to nothing. So it's just a gentle hubbub inside Wembley."

    No spark about England whatsoever. Skipper James Milner is trying to get the team going but home fans are sitting in almost silence. Most of the noise is coming from where the Dutch support is gathered. The visitors are wearing number 14 on their shirts in tribute to Johan Cruyff.

    We should also mention that Germany are 1-0 up against Italy. Toni Kroos, who also scored the opener against England on Saturday, is on the mark again. Germany are attempting to avoid a third straight defeat.

    "England can't get into any rhythm at the moment here but credit to the Netherlands - they know England want to play at a high tempo and are just preventing them doing so."

    "When you make so many changes after the Germany game, this is what can happen. It's been a bit sloppy from England so far."

    The Netherlands have been more adventurous than their hosts. Fraser Forster is forced into his first serious save by Ibrahim Affelay but it's been rather tame stuff so far.

    Phil McNulty
    BBC Sport chief football writer at Wembley

    "After the excitement of Berlin, this is a very subdued Wembley as England struggle to find any sort of rhythm or momentum.

    "There have been one or two sharp touches from Jamie Vardy but nothing in the way of serious excitement. Very quiet."

    "Everyone is on their feet around Wembley to honour Johan Cruyff.

    "Cruyff enjoyed one of his best moments at the old stadium here when his Barcelona 'Dream Team' won the European Cup in 1992 thanks to Ronald Koeman's goal against Sampdoria."

    We're in the 14th minute. Rain is falling on Wembley as a sell-out crowd rises to its feet to applaud Johan Cruyff, who made his name wearing the famous number 14. Southampton manager Ronald Koeman is out of his seat.

    A tremendous tribute for a brilliant player.

    The England band is desperately trying to lift a rain-soaked Wembley. There's been little to get excited about while the hosts can count themselves fortunate not to have conceded a penalty. Memphis Depay tries his luck from distance and it's not too far away.

  16. 'Pure mess from Denmark'published at 20:16 British Summer Time 29 March 2016

    Scotland 1-0 Denmark

    Former Denmark forward Peter Lovenkrands is a pundit on BBC Radio Scotland today.

    "Daniel Agger is blaming the goalkeeper for not coming for it, but it hadn't even reached the penalty box by the time Matt Ritchie took it. It is a great finish, but a pure mess from the Danish defence."

    Portugal have taken a 20th-minute lead against Belgium in the relocated match following last week's terror attacks in Brussels, former Manchester United winger Nani with the goal. 

    France have also gone ahead against Russia through Leicester midfielder N'Golo Kante, who scores on his full debut and his birthday. Congratulations.

    "The last time Daniel Sturridge played for England, Jamie Vardy had played a total of 20 mintues of Premier League football."

    It's been a remarkable 573 days since Sturridge last appeared in an England shirt.

    "There's a claim there - Danny Rose is very late but Holland haven't made a meal of it.

    "I would give that as a penalty. It's late, it's a definite penalty."

    Drama as England survive an early penalty scare after Danny Rose challenges Joel Veltman who goes down in the area. Nothing is given but that's a close call.
