    Harry Kane into Callum Wilson six yards out, it is an easy finish but the Bournemouth strike toe-pokes against the foot of the post.

    Simon Richardson: It's a positive step but this feels a bit like stopping short of really making a change. The mic has picked up abuse still going on but step 3 hasn't been implemented. Don't stop short. Abandon the match, send a message. Announcements alone aren't enough.

    Nope, not the seventh.

    Callum Wilson rolls the ball across the box for Jadon Sancho, but the Borussia Dortmund wonderkid side-foots a weak effort straight at the Bulgaria goalkeeper.

    England will be disappointed they haven't got double figures. I know this is a big score but they should have had more.

    Bulgaria captain Ivelin Popov, eight yards out and shoots...

    ...almost goes out for a throw-in.

    Josh: England have probably had more testing games in training than this. Can’t believe how poor Bulgaria have been in this game; especially given the fact it’s a competitive international fixture, not a friendly game. Woeful.

    Nearly seven heaven for England, but Mason Mount's long range curler is palmed away by goalkeeper Plamen Iliev's spectacular dive.

    Harry Kane has been desperate to score hasn't he? He strikes it along the floor and the goalkeeper has no chance. The Bulgarian players are kicking the ball around in anger but I'm sorry, they have been completely outclassed tonight.

    GOAL - Bulgaria 0-6 Englandpublished at 21:30 British Summer Time 14 October 2019

    Harry Kane (85 mins)

    Bulgaria hit for six.

    Captain Harry Kane finally gets his goal and continues his run of scoring in every qualifier.

    He takes the ball down, slips it through the legs of defender Georgi Terziev and lashes a left-footed finish in at the near post.

    If England take their chances... we're talking very good chances. It could have been 13-0 if that had gone in with all the others.

    England get in behind oh, so easily again.

    Harry Kane has three assists today, but the goal is not coming.

    The skipper takes a pass from Jordan Henderson, spins but rattles the foot of the post from 14 yards out.

    10 to go, England taking the points home and with their heads held high.

    A thoroughly professional showing.

    Turkey weren't behind for long against France. Just five minutes in fact.

    A free-kick from the right is headed home by Kaan Ayhan. Steve Mandanda will be disappointed in the France goal though, he's been beaten at his near post.

    That means Turkey go back to the top of Group H.

    We mentioned earlier that some supporters were seen making what appeared to be right-wing gestures. This is an example of what we were talking about.

    There is no harm in this. I think Gareth Southgate could have started the youngsters. Bulgaria are so poor. England have also played well tonight. You expected them to win it tonight and easily is an understatement. It could quite easily have been double figures.

    Substitute Oliver Giroud has given France the lead against Turkey in Paris. The Chelsea striker has only been on the pitch three minutes.

    With Iceland winning 2-0 against Andorra, France can't qualify tonight.

    Portugal have a goal back with that man Cristiano Ronaldo scoring. It is his 700th career goal - quite the landmark!

    He is behind Czech-Austrian Josef Bican (805 goals), Romario (772), Pele (767), Ferenc Puskas (746) Gerd Muller (735).
