    A couple of changes for England.

    Raheem Sterling and Ross Barkley make way, on come Jadon Sancho and Mason Mount.

    Not a bad pair to bring on.

    There are obviously people from Bulgaria that will be ashamed tonight.

    But clearly there are sinister people in this country who we saw leaving at half-time. I don't know how much education they will need.

    Bulgaria 0-5 England

    Here comes Raheem Sterling again.

    He picks the ball up deep inside his own half, sprints to the opposition box but the run is put to an end by Petar Zanev's sliding challenge.

    It was a good bit of play and a good weight of pass. It looked like Raheem Sterling might have gone offside but Harry Kane just played it early enough to keep him on.

    Raheem Sterling (68 mins)

    Finally the fifth.

    It has taken a while but England were smashing on the door to get another goal.

    Skipper Harry Kane gets his third assist of the night, playing a pass to Raheem Sterling inside the box.

    The Manchester City player sets himself and slips a cool finish into the bottom corner.

    Ruthless Raheem.

    We know Marcus Rashford has that in his locked but he's just pushed it down the line and ran. There is nobody covering him, nobody trying to tackle him. It's just sooo easy.

    England had the ball for around five minutes there.

    Eventually Marcus Rashford runs around Georgi Terziev on the touchline, but the cross is put to safety by goalkeeper Plamen Iliev.

    The head of FA security is still on the athletics track to the right which is where some of the racist chants came from.

    It's not even like a training match. Have Bulgaria got 11 men?

    This isn't a training game for England now, it is the warm-up you have beforehand.

    Pass, pass, pass - Bulgarian heads have dropped. They have had a good beating on the pitch this evening.

    Bulgaria 0-4 England

    England have missed a couple of sitters, they should be 7-0, 8-0 now.

    Marcus Rashford feeds a pass into the feet of Harry Kane, who spins and digs out a shot from six yards out which is straight at goalkeeper Plamen Iliev.

    The atmosphere seems to have, temporarily at least, calmed down. The game itself is a non-event as England have this one wrapped up.

    It has all the feel of everyone simply wanting to actually complete this game without further incident and potential abandonment - in itself a sad and sorry state of affairs.

  14. Elsewhere in Europe...published at 21:08 British Summer Time 14 October 2019

    Kolbeinn Sigthorsson has made it 2-0 to Iceland against Andorra.

    If it stays that way it means neither France or Turkey can qualify tonight. It's still 0-0 between those two in Paris.

    Just ticked past the hour mark, England are bullying Bulgaria.

    How many more can they get?

    You run out of things to say... England have created chance after chance. Bulgaria are just terrible.

  17. GOOD SAVE!published at 21:06 British Summer Time 14 October 2019

    Bulgaria 0-4 England

    Good concentration from Jordan Pickford.

    Bulgaria defender Petar Zanev drills a long ranger across the turf, it comes through a sea of legs but the England goalkeeper sees it all the way and can dive low to his left to collect the ball.

    The telepathy was too good on this occasion.

    Ross Barkley and Raheem Sterling make an identical run from Jordan Henderson's pass, end up bumping into each other and the ball runs away to goalkeeper Plamen Iliev.

    It's easy for England, let's be honest. Bulgaria are a very poor side. We talk about San Marino and these aren't far from it.

    If England turn it on they can get as many as they want.

  20. CLOSE!published at 21:03 British Summer Time 14 October 2019

    England coming closer to the fifth.

    Marcus Rashford sprints right down the middle of the pitch and finds Raheem Sterling in the box.

    The Manchester City winger cuts in onto his left peg, but shoots straight at goalkeeper Plamen Iliev.
