Those Croatia crosses from out wide are coming in more frequently.

"Close him, CLOSE HIM!"

Half an hour gone, England's chances have dried up in the cauldron of Wembley.

Can they heat things up again?

England took control and I thought a goal was coming. The heat has crept in a bit and they've come off the pace, which is all good news for Croatia.

Both Mason Mount 21/21 and Kalvin Phillips 13/13 have completed every single pass so far for England.

Duje Caleta-Car 14/14 is the only Croatia player to do so.

Difficult to argue with John.

Croatia are now seeing England's left as a possible outlet.

Again Kieran Trippier fails to close down club team-mate Sime Vrsaljko, whose cross is too long.

Luka Modric is starting to tick too.

James Eaglesfield: Who's England's main striker today? Kane appears to be playing in midfield. So many times we've pushed forward and Kane has been nowhere near the Croatian box.

SaidMadrid: England having most of the ball but they need to speed up actions when they get to Croatias box, more movement and depth needed to break them down.

Paul Collins: Got a bad feeling that despite us dominating so far Croatia will end up scoring with their first shot at goal whenever that is. We need be clinical and actually take advantage of this spell of dominance.

We just need to be careful here. That's two or three crosses that have been coming into the box that they've had some joy with. That will start to give Croatia confidence. They're fortunate not to be a goal down here but it's taken them a while to wake up.

Croatia showing signs of life now.

Sime Vrsaljko gets the better of Atletico Madrid team-mate Kieran Trippier down the left and swings in a cross which reaches Ivan Perisic at the far edge of the box.

But the Inter Milan winger snatches at the shot and screws it over.

Not like that.

Raheem Sterling latches on to a ball that bounces on the edge of the box but he smashes the effort way wide.

A couple of good early chances for England and a generally positive start.

Can they now get Harry Kane in the game? The Spurs forward has had the fewest touches of any England player so far with seven. Just one of those was in the Croatia penalty area.

Croatia are yet to have a touch in England's box.

England are all over them. Croatia can't put three or four passes together and they can't get a breather.

Who knew resting a number of your star players for friendlies would keep them fresh for a tournament.

England have been right at it, they're just missing a goal.

When England get into the attacking third the volume levels go up another level.

As Luka Modric said in the press, the supporters are a huge factor - and they are a huge plus for England.

Now Raheem Sterling is played in behind by Mason Mount's lofted ball, but the Man City player cannot find Harry Kane with a chip to the back post.

Trippier's had a really good start to this game. You've just got to weigh up the pros and the cons of starting a right-footed left-back. He's definitely adding calm and he's very good on the ball.

All England so far, 63% possession for Gareth Southgate's men.
