    Republic of Ireland 1-0 Bulgaria

    The veteran debutant keeper Ivanov was badly at fault for Alan Browne's first goal but the Republic will take it.

    The pace has picked up since the break with the Bulgarians having a handball penalty shout turned down just before the goal after John Egan blocked a pointblank Daniel Mladenov shot.

    When you come up against France, the Netherlands, Spain at the Euros, you cannot play like this.

    England 5-3 Kosovo

    It's all gone a bit quiet in the stands, England haven't really got going since half time. All credit to Kosovo though, what an attitude they have shown.

    Clement Lenglet has just scored his first France goal, they lead Andorra 2-0. The cross was from his Barcelona team-mate Antoine Griezmann.

    As things stand they will be three points above Iceland, who have just gone 2-1 down to Albania with Elseid Hysaj on the scoresheet.

    Vedat Muriqi (Pen)

    Valon Berisha may well have been on a hat-trick but the big man Vedat Muriqi isn't interested. Waves him away and thumps home left-footed, Jordan Pickford got hands to it.

    Game on?!

    I am not sure it is a penalty.

    Everybody would go down, there is only the slightest of touches.

    Harry Maguire stretches to cut out a cross, doesn't deal with it and then brings down Vedat Muriqi.

    The comeback could be on!

    Wouldn't mind a season ticket for Kosovo. Goals, goals, goals.

    England win a free-kick from the resumption but it's well claimed by Arijanet Muric in nets.

    It is a poor goal to give away.

    England have been dawdling on the ball and they have paid the price.

    They have started very slowly but it was a lovely finish.

    Valon Berisha

    And there we go!

    What a fine goal this is too. Declan Rice this time gives the ball away cheaply, Vedat Muriqi plays a dreamy no-look faded chip over Jordan Henderson's head and Valon Berisha brings it down and beats Jordan Pickford for his second of the night.

    Gylfi Sigurdsson has just equalised for Iceland in Albania - but they still trail Turkey and France by two points as things stand. Another goal would make it a three-way tie again as it was this morning.

    England 5-1 Kosovo

    They all fancy a goal out there now - Trent Alexander-Arnold bursts into the area, from what looked like an offside position, and gets a left-footed shot away but it's patted down.

    Whenever a side score a shedload in the first half it's always 0-0 in the second. Let's hope for more...

    Ryan Flint: I hate to be too cynical, and as smooth and free-scoring as we’ve been, I’ll always judge England during major tournaments. We always thrash teams in friendlies and qualifiers. We have a huge shout for the Euros thinking more positively!

    Kunal: Forget Rashford Southgate... This is the starting front three... Just need to sort your midfield out: I would go with Rice, Maddison and Hendo! But it's your choice... you need a better balance than the options you have fielded thus far
