    England 4-0 Bulgaria

    This is painful one, very painful.

    Marcus Rashford's thunderous drive smacks Bulgaria midfielder Georgi Sarmov flush on the backside.

    Why is the physio on? Not like he can give him a helping hand.

    How has Maddison not got on today?? Most creative player in the last 14 months. Mount plays 4 games for Chelsea and is straight on for a cap. what message does this send out ? Big team bias yet again.

    England 4-0 Bulgaria

    Chris Sutton was right, it is going to be a cricket score.

    England are 0-2.

    That's zero runs and two wickets down in their second innings v Australia.

    Hahahahahahaaaaa!

    Kiril Despodov trips over the ball inside the box and wants a penalty.

    Hilarious.

    Bulgaria captain Ivelin Popov curls the ball over the wall, but Jordan Pickford does brilliantly to dance across his goalline and tip the ball over the bar.

    England 4-0 Bulgaria

    England don't want to get sloppy now.

    Jordan Pickford's pass puts Harry Maguire in trouble on the edge of the box and the Manchester United man has to bring down Galin Ivanov.

    Chance for a consolation.

    Here comes Borussia Dortmund sensation Jadon Sancho.

    70 minutes too late, IMO.

    He replaces Raheem Sterling.

    How would you feel if you're James Maddison and you've been the best Premier League midfielder this season and you see Mason Mount get an opportunity before you?

    Mason Mount eyes up a dream England debut, he will have dreamt about this last night as he picks the ball up 25 yards, looking to curl it in into the top corner, but instead smacks it into Row Z.

    Mason Mount had a good season last year at Derby and fitted in well this year back at Chelsea. He's now got his reward. You just want him to go and play like he does at Chelsea and enjoy it.
