World Cup qualifying: Reaction as Kane hat-trick helps England thrash Albania

1. Kane scores hat-trick as England run riot against Albania
2. Maguire and Henderson also on target for dominant hosts
3. England need one point from final game against San Marino to reach World Cup
4. Three Lions three points above second-placed Poland
5. Sub Smith Rowe comes on for debut

CLOSE!

Qazim Laci tries to catch out Jordan Pickford with a surprise strike from way out but it lacks direction and England maintain the clean sheet.

Sabitzer in on the act

Hungary have four unanswered goals against San Marino. Balint Vecsei with the latest.

Austria have also hit four tonight. Marcel Sabitzer has made it 4-2 for them against Israel.

Neither result will make any difference to the qualification picture in their respective groups.

SUBSTITUTION

Mytro Uzuni comes off for Albania.

How different would the game have been had he taken the chance at 1-0 down?

Get involved

Josh Earl: Could not be happier for Emile Smith Rowe, nobody deserves an opportunity more than him. Would love to see him score.

Mark Burt: Second half England not looking quite so divine. Game resembling a Sunday morning kick-about replete with hangovers.

England up the pace for the first time in ages. Emile Smith Rowe provides the impetus, laying it off for Jack Grealish but the Manchester City man's shot is blocked.

Five to go.

Is there a game still going on?

80,366 in at Wembley today.

"Thank you for your wonderful support."

England playing keep ball, shifting it right and left.

Paper aeroplanes raining down from the stands now.

Just look how many there are behind Thomas Strakosha's goal if the camera pans to it.

SUBSTITUTIONS

And finally Reece James does come off, being replaced by Trent Alexander-Arnold.

There is a senior debut for Emile Smith Rowe, who comes on for the excellent Raheem Sterling with just under 15 minutes remaining.

Disappointed England haven't gone for more goals in the second half.

Cash in

Welcome to international football Matty Cash. The Aston Villa full-back has just come on for his first Poland cap, replacing Przemyslaw Frankowski. Soon after, the Poles make it 4-1 in Andorra with Robert Lewandowski making it a brace on the night.

Elsewhere, Austria have gone ahead in their thriller with Israel. It's 3-2 now thanks to Louis Schaub's second of the game. What an impact he's had off the bench.

Good effort from whoever has lobbed a paper aeroplane which has landed around 20 yards in from Reece James' touchline.

Smith Rowe time?

If I were Emile Smith Rowe I would be warming up directly in front of Gareth Southgate, telling him I'm ready.

CLOSE!

Well, having said all that Reece James nearly goes and scores.

The opening is created by Jude Bellingham's brilliant backheel, into the path of the Chelsea defender who screws wide.

TAA would have scored it.

Reece James is back on though.

Give Trent Alexander-Arnold a runout.

Take him off, why risk it?

The game is done and dusted.

Thankfully Reece James doesn't need the use of a stretcher and he walks to the side of the pitch to undergo some tests.

John Stones is back onto his feet but it doesn't look good for Reece James, he is still prone and on comes the stretcher.

They both wanted to get the block on the volley. A nasty clash of heads.
