    England 1-0 Romania

    The leggy Jude Bellingham striding forward from midfield, looking a little like Patrick Vieira.

    The Borussia Dortmund teenager lays the ball off for Jack Grealish but the cross is blocked.

    Five to go.

  2. CLOSE!published at 83 mins

    England 1-0 Romania

    England still can't find that second goal.

    Sub Ollie Watkins straight into the action, chipping the ball to the back post for Jude Bellingham who looks like all the world that he's scoring, but Vlad Chiriches somehow sticks a leg out to divert the ball over from a couple of yards out.

    From the corner, Tyrone Mings send a free header over.

  3. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 81 mins

    England 1-0 Romania

    Dominic Calvert-Lewin had a decent game and could have got on the scoresheet.

    He makes way for Ollie Watkins.

    What is Henderson doing? Who does he think he is? No player who doesn't take penalties for their club should ever be allowed to take one for country.

    Jim, Chester.

    Kane got the Golden Boot at the World Cup mostly through penalties last time. We may be more streetwise to win more, but we look toothless without the set piece. Winning penalties might win us matches, but it won't win us tournaments.

    I guess that's Jordan Henderson ruled out of spot-kick duty for the Euros.

    He missed at the World Cup against Colombia as well, remember.

    Jordan Henderson won't be happy. He struck it well enough but it was just a nice height for Nita on his right hand side. He gets a big strong arm and then as it comes back out Jude Bellingham couldn't get any contact on it and it was cleared away to safety.

    Jordan Henderson snatches the ball off Dominic Calvert-Lewin and oh dear, his spot-kick is SAVED by Florin Nita down low to his right.

  10. PENALTY TO ENGLANDpublished at 77 mins

    England 1-0 Romania

    Vlad Chiriches in high on Dominic Calvert-Lewin and England have another penalty.

    Was it accidental or deliberate? Only Vlad Chiriches will know as he tumbles over Jack Grealish on the ground and kicks the Villa man on the head.

    No action taken by the red.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 75 mins

    England 1-0 Romania

    Double change for England and all four (possibly) Manchester United players.

    Off come goalscorer Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw to be replaced by Jesse Lingard and Kieran Trippier who has been heavily linked with a switch to Old Trafford.

    Will leave the other 10 players to others. My one starter for the euros is Grealish - has to, and I mean HAS to, start

    John Chesterfield

    Same old England no quality, Grealish is the only real football talent, the rest either panic or play safe

    Steve in Aberystwyth.

    Wowww, what a save!!

    Romania cause problems for England again as Alexandru Cicaldau's shot is blocked by Tyrone Mings and then Andrei Ivan's vicious drive from close range is somehow pushed over the crossbar by Sam Johnstone.

    Incredible stop from the West Brom man.

    What's the plan now then? Sit on the one goal or go for two, three, four?

    What's happening this summer?

    Don't say it,

    Don't say it,

    Don't say it,

    "Football's coming home," chant the England fans in attendance at the Riverside.

    England 1-0 Romania

    Almost a quick-fire second for England.

    Full of confidence, goalscoring captain Marcus Rashford puts a low cross into the area which the goalkeeper gathers just ahead of Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

    How calm was that from Marcus Rashford? He just goes through his routine with how he likes to set up, right behind the ball then arcs his run round to the left-hand side. Slow as you like, eyes on the goalkeeper and nothing else. The goalkeeper stands, he doesn't even move. Calm as you like.

    Breakthrough!

    Captain Marcus Rashford with a steady run-up and he slots a cool finish into the corner.

    Goalkeeper unmoved and finally something for the home fans to cheer about.

    I thought straight away it's a clear penalty. Jack Grealish just gets beyond him and has his heels clipped. He makes the most of it but he's got every right to.
