    Ian: This is torture. Don't want to sit through this agony but I can't turn away. Send help.

    Craig: England getting taken into deep water here by the biggest shark they’ve come up against so far

    Darren: It’s not often you’re wishing for penalties as an England fan

    Kieran Trippier's free-kick is a good one and Harry Kane heads it down - and wide!

    That's a good chance. He was free!

    Andrew: I really don't know who we've got on the bench who can change the midfield tide here. We're going to have to ride this out and hope Croatia tire.

    Matt from Wales: Typical - 45min it was we will win the World Cup, now it's England are as rubbish as ever and the world's ending - get behind your team for the whole game not just whilst its going well

    Richard: Playing for penalties?

    Dejan Lovren shoots from a mile out and spanks it into the Croatian fans. I'll take that.

    This has been a good second half for France. England have it at the right end for once...

    If we do get into extra time we will need to make changes. At present, we can't keep the ball long enough to trouble Croatia.

    There are surely two Luka Modrics out there now. He's everywhere. Modri?

    Gareth Southgate and Steve Holland are in conversation down there, trying to make sense of the tactics. Croatia keep throwing more and more players forward and it's difficult for England as they are being overloaded.

    But it only takes a moment for England to get through on goal. We have to keep believing.

    Settle, settle! Jesse Lingard runs into the area once more but again the ball is a touch too strong for him.

    Momentum is king. England losing every challenge, every 50/50 now. A third goal in this game could be fatal as we tick into the final five minutes.

    Brilliant football by Croatia. They didn't have a kick in the first half but they have carved some fantastic chances in the last 20 minutes.

    England teams over the years always seem to run out of legs a bit in the last 20 minutes of games.

    Raheem Sterling is still searching for his first England goal since 2015.

    Perhaps he will get it in the final?

    He touched the ball 22 times in the 74 minutes he was on the pitch but after an impressive start to the game, Sterling was starved of service after the interval as England found themselves under pressure.

    Anon: Did not take long for fair weather know-it-alls like Ben to show up. Alli and Henderson have been excellent but we were never going to dominate for 90 minutes against a midfield of Modric , Rakitic and Brozovic.

    Ian: Where's the first half England ?? Henderson has gone missing.

    Mark, Streatham: No getting away from it England have been dire in this second half. Their inexperience is glaring now.

    Keep the faith.

    Well played. Croatia find Mario Mandzukic inside the area, his touch on the chest is superb but the angle is not his friend and he can only fire at Jordan Pickford.

    Pickford then flaps at the ball and Ivan Perisic lofts the free ball onto the roof of the net!

    Holding on. Holding, holding on...

    England have weathered the storm a bit in the last few minutes. We should have gone behind but we hung on.

    The back three, which were so important in the first half, suddenly lost their shape and their ability to bring the ball out which is why we are losing possession.

  20. Postpublished at 81 mins

    England's defence have gone here. Kieran Trippier plays a blind backpass and Harry Maguire bails him out but almost slots past Jordan Pickford!

    Ooof.
