Can we just call it off now? Could be a very tense and nervy 45 minutes coming up. Although England look dangerous...

Croatia have had more possession. More shots too - six to England's four. But it's Gareth Southgate's side who are 45 minutes away from a WORLD CUP FINAL!
Croatia 0-1 England
Only one of the previous 18 teams to be ahead at half-time in a World Cup semi final has failed to win (Italy in 1990 v Argentina, lost on penalties)

Malcolm: All England need to do is hold out for the first 15 minutes of the second half and then score the killer goal. COME ON ENGLAND!
David: Great football and a pleasure to watch - Kane slightly off the boil but Sterling’s best performance to date - keep going you Lions
Kieron: 45 minutes away from a dream we never thought could happen anytime soon.

Jordan Pickford's celebrations when England took the lead are well worth a watch later. Though there was a bit of a Peter Shilton tribute act from Danijel Subasic. It was practically in the net before he dived.

England deserve to be a couple of goals up. You would expect Croatia to ask more questions in the second half. Ante Rebic is looking dangerous and Ashley Young has struggled against him on occasions but we are in a great position.
If you were with us from the start at 17:00 BST - I'm still fairly sure this is either a dream or a Black Mirror episode.

England's only complaint from that first 45 minutes will be that they should be even further ahead. They have played with pace, movement and confidence and could even be out of sight had they taken their chances.
They are just 45 minutes from their first World Cup final since 1966.
Croatia 0-1 England
Some people will never be happy.
So let's have a show of hands - a half time Coming-Home-O-Meter...

Peter, Telford: A match to savour in last night's semi -final, but although England are winning there is a distinct lack of quality here tonight.There is far too many aimless long balls forward from England and no creativity from midfield.
Kev, Oakham: I do wish Henderson will stop hoofing the ball out in a panic - twice now - there's no need and it only invites Croatia back onto us.
Nick, Gloucester: We are going to rue all these missed easy chances!!!
There's always some people ready to bring us back down to Earth

Ex-England winger on BBC Radio 5 live
Brilliant first half by England and they got the goal through Kieran Trippier. They have been the better side and they have had two or three good chances, and I just wish they had taken one of them.
Croatia 0-1 England
Don't do that! There's a VAR check from that free-kick as Harry Maguire had a hold of Dejan Lovren. But we're OK.
Croatia 0-1 England
Who has impressed so far, who has room for improvement?
Croatia 0-1 England
Luka Modric bends in a free-kick must be nearly half-time - cleared.
There we go!
Croatia 0-1 England
Croatia are being limited to pot shots from outside the area. Indeed, they touched the ball just once in England's penalty area in the opening 40 minutes. As the above graphic shows, England (right) are having more joy pushing forward.
