    England 2-1 Nigeria

    England open up Nigeria for first time in the second half.

    Fabian Delph arches a lovely cross to the back post for Marcus Rashford, who tries to loop a header back of the head of Nigeria goalkeeper Francis Uzoho, but gets too much purchase on it and the ball lands over the crossbar.

    England have had a lot of ball and played some nice possession but they have missed that final pass. It was so easy in the first-half because they had space but Nigeria have made a game of it in the second-half.

    Some of the England fans are starting to drift towards the exits now. You would imagine most of them really enjoyed the first-half. I wonder what they made of the second-half?

    England have got to get used to playing against sides like Nigeria have played in the second-half. It's been a good turnaround by the visitors and it's been tough for England

  9. Elsewhere...published at 18:56 British Summer Time 2 June 2018

    As one Arsenal man misses, another scores.

    Mesut Ozil has given Germany an early lead against Austria, pushing a poor goalkeeping clearance, to slot home into an open net.

    Danny Welbeck in on goal to seal it for England...

    ...no.

    The Arsenal man unable to get his feet sorted in time and Nigeria defender William Troost-Ekong makes a inch-perfect sliding tackle to save a certain goal.

    Wayne: As Sven used to say: “first half good, second half not so good”

    Paul: Better response from the Super Eagles in this second 45. I think they showed too much respect to the Three Lions in the first half.

    Georgia: Who doesn’t want a Nigeria kit tho let’s be honest, looks lush to be fair, anything beats a plain white t shirt, really need to step up our kit game for 2022

    Some of the England fans are starting to play with inflatable footballs in this second-half. Clearly the football on the pitch is not keeping them interested.

    Jon Obi Mikel urged to shoot by the travelling supporters.

    The Nigeria captain obliges from 25 yards out, but his dipping drive is straight into the mid-riff of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

    Good, assured keeping from the Everton man.

    A double change for England.

    Jesse Lingard and Ashley Young are replaced by Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Danny Rose. A proper full-back.
