    Scotland have reacted quite well. They haven't folded.

    That would have been the worry for this Scotland team, who have had a difficult time recently.

    Daniel Sturridge. An out-and-out striker who is on the endangered list because of tactical fads Full-backs will be next if we all go 3-4-3. 

    Sturridge has had seven touches in 32 minutes. Money for old rope if you can finish like that.

    Completely the wrong decision from Griffiths. Just roll Snodgrass in. Another big opportunity goes a-begging.

  5. Do England deserve it?published at 20:18 Greenwich Mean Time 11 November 2016

    England 1-0 Scotland

    There's no doubt Gareth Southgate's side have seen more of the ball and edged territory.

    After 28 minutes they have played 158 passes to 81 by the away side.

    No player on the field is busier than Jordan Henderson with 32 touches.

    Top players see that pass and make it.

    PASS IT!

    Again Scotland press high and get rewards as Wayne Rooney and Jordan Henderson make a total hash of a one-two and Leigh Griffiths is running in on goal from halfway.

    Robert Snodgrass is motoring up on his left - but the Celtic man shoots, wastefully from 30 yards. Send him in!

    Ray King: Finally Walker actually crosses the ball!! Amazing the outcome when he does that.

    Ali Bisatt: Is it me or does the team Southgate has on the bench look much more exciting than the one on the pitch?. .

    Steven Jerjian: May not be getting in to the Liverpool team now, but Sturridge can be lethal..Klopp would be crazy to let him leave

    The noisy neighbours have gone a little quiet after that goal. Scotland had started in encouraging fashion but can't afford to miss chances to equalise as good as the one Grant Hanley has just put off target.

    That's a massive chance. He does well initially to spin away from his man and he doesn't even have to jump. Just head it down. A sitter...

  11. Sturridge justifies faithpublished at 20:15 Greenwich Mean Time 11 November 2016

    England 1-0 Scotland

    Phil McNulty
    BBC Sport chief football writer at Wembley

    Gareth Southgate showed faith in Daniel Sturridge by starting with him despite his shortage of first-team action at Liverpool and what a reward.

    It was an instinctive, stooping header that gave Craig Gordon no chance. England had just started to get on top and that's a real blow to Scotland and manager Gordon Strachan after those promising early phases.

    You will not get many clearer chances than that. 

    That is terrible. It has got to be on target.  

  13. CLOSE!published at 26 mins

    England 1-0 Scotland

    Scotland have reacted well to going behind, and that is a chance! Grant Hanley is left totally unattended 10 yards out, free header - he shuts his eyes and pops it 10 rows back.

    Dearie me that is a golden opportunity! 

  14. European round-uppublished at 20:14 Greenwich Mean Time 11 November 2016

    A few early goals around Europe tonight and it's no surprise to report Germany already have two of the blighters against hapless San Marino in Group C.

    Strikes by Sami Khedira and Serge Gnabry had the Germans cruising inside 10 minutes and the punishment is unlikely to stop there. Also in Group C, Czech Republic lead Norway 1-0.

    In Group F - England and Scotland's group - Slovakia have raced into a 2-0 lead against Lithuania, who sat in an unexpected second place coming into this round of fixtures. Adam Nemec and Juraj Kucka with the goals in Trnava.  

    In Group E, Poland lead Romania 1-0 through Kamil Grosicki while Denmark and Kazakhstan are level at 1-1.

    Kyle Lafferty

    Vintage stuff. Long throw, flicked on by Corry Evans, Kyle Lafferty meets it on the bounce and crunches home from 10 yards out. You don't save those!

    That is all you want your number nine to do. It was a fantastic cross and Strurridge got across the defender. 

    It was a brilliant goal. Sturridge had no time to react but he flicked it perfectly into the corner.

    GOAL - England 1-0 Scotlandpublished at 24 mins

    Daniel Sturridge

    He's barely touched the ball, but Daniel Sturridge puts England ahead!

    Raheem Sterling shoots from 25 yards out, blocked by a pink shirt and spat out to Kyle Walker on the right. Walker isn't here to make friends, he absolutely drills the cross in and Sturridge just has to guide it into the corner.

    It's a wonderful header. So much pace on the ball, just needed an accurate helping hand. Or head.

    England now seeing more and more of the ball, which is rather taking the sting out of the game...
