    Look at the Bulgarians. They are camped on the edge of the box. They are not interested in scoring a goal. Bulgaria want this to end now.

    Bresla Stephenson: These games are no test at all. Too many pointless qualifiers. Play the kids Gareth.

    Ryan Flint: This is like watching a Man City match. Pass pass pass pass pass leading to a Sterling tap-in, against an apathetic opposition...

    Devastating by England. Rashford does really well, then Kane is unselfish to set up Sterling. It's so easy for England.

    Raheem Sterling

    England are flying now.

    Marcus Rashford darts forward and lays it off for Harry Kane.

    He has scored twice and now makes the third, cutting the ball back for Raheem Sterling to knock the ball into the roof of the net with his right thigh.

    Clinical.

    I think Rashford has been given instructions at half-time to stay wide. He hasn't left that left-hand side since the break.

    England should run away with it now.

    Harry Maguire meets a corner with a free header but thumps his effort wide.

    It is devastating from Marcus Rashford to win the penalty. It was an easy decision for the referee.

    Curtains for Bulgaria. Kane is not going to miss those. England 2-0 up and cruising. You can expect a cricket score now.

    Harry Kane

    Was there any doubt?

    Harry Kane steps up and confidently dispatches the penalty, sending Plamen Iliev the wrong way.

    The skipper now on a hat-trick.

    Marcus Rashford checks back and is tripped by Nikolay Bodurov.

    The referee points to the spot.

    No second yellow???

  18. CLOSE!published at 48 mins

    England 1-0 Bulgaria

    England are still in the dressing room.

    Wanderson finds acres of space in behind the defence, sets himself but hits a shot straight at Jordan Pickford.

    Cliff Bacon: This team is crying out for the creativity of Phil Foden. He created two goals for England Under-21s. Different class to this boring midfield.

    Daryl Wing: Sterling has caused a lot of problems but it's a pretty negative team from Southgate: so little surprise it's only one nil.
