    England 1-0 Italy

    Leonardo Bonucci is played in short and he gives it straight to Adam Lallana in the middle of the pitch.

    Lallana twists and turns - winning a free-kick - but England give it straight back to Italy.

    If it wasn't for the injury, Adam Lallana would be one of the first names on the team sheet, a top player, brings goals and assists. All he needs now is a run of games. If he gets that, someone like that should be on the plane.

    Adam Lallana's first involvement is a bouncing shot on target but it's a tame one.

    Raheem Sterling called on England's fans to show the team some love in the build-up to this game - and he is getting plenty of it from the Wembley crowd,

    He has been absolutely outstanding, tormenting Italy's defence with his pace, direct running and skill.

    England manager Gareth Southgate will be delighted with him.

    Adam Lallana hasn't been capped since June and he's had injury problems with Liverpool this season. This is a real opportunity for him to showcase his worth and try to book a place on the plane to Russia.

    The England fans are making a lot of noise. The band is in full flow. They are clearly enjoying what they are seeing.

    Jake: A lot of negativity from England fans RE friendlies vs World Cup teams. Netherlands and Italy still fielding world class teams vs untested English players at national level. Cheer them on!

    Leo: Love seeing England having a go! As a fan I have held them to a higher standard than myself. Time for all fans to be great fans.

    Chelsea's Davide Zappacosta has a lot of space on the right but his cross is way to high and flies over Ciro Immobile, who was left on his own at the back post.

    Raheem Sterling does well to win the ball in the corner and he waited before playing in Ashley Young.

    The Manchester United full-back darts into the box, beats a player and tries to pull it back for Jamie Vardy but it's too close to the keeper.

    Excellent combination between those two down the left once again.

    Italy off the pace a little in this second half, allowing England a lot more time. Still a threat, but not pressing England like they did in the first 20 minutes or so.

    Lorenzo Insigne is set on his way by Ciro Immobile but Kyle Walker's pace is blistering and not only does he beat the Italian to the ball, but he uses his strength to nudge him out of the way and win a throw-in. Cool as you like.

    Kyle Walker plays a lovely diagonal ball across field towards Ashley Young. That was Scholes-esque. Well, almost!

    Brazil almost make it 2-0 against Germany, but Paulinho is denied by a good save from Kevin Trapp, who had been expected to be replaced at half-time.

    Perhaps given an extra chance to make amends for his error for the goal?

    Kyle Walker's pass to Kieran Trippier is intercepted and Ciro Immobile sets off on a run through the middle but the pass into him from Lorenzo Insigne is just slightly too long.

    It's already a better start to the second half for England than it was to the first when they allowed Ciro Immobile in on goal within the first two minutes...
