  1. Post update

    England 5-0 Albania

    England have stopped playing and they have to be careful not to concede at the back.

    Sokol Cikalleshi goes for an overhead kick inside the box and as John Stones and Reece James both have their eyes on the ball, they collide into each other at full speed.

    You could hear the thud and both have been hurt badly.

  2. Thriller in Klagenfurt

    More action in Austria. The home side are level against Israel, through Louis Schaub's goal. 2-2 the score.

    And Denmark have added to their lead against the Faroe Islands. Substitute Jacob Bruun Larsen has made it 2-0.

    England 5-0 Albania

    Tell you what, that roar for Jack Grealish was deafening.

    Caught the journalist in front of me by surprise too - he closed his eyes and grimaced at the ferocity of it.

  4. SUBSTITUTIONS

    England 5-0 Albania

    Here come the changes for England.

    Hat-trick hero Harry Kane, Phil Foden and Kalvin Phillips come off.

    On come Roma striker Tammy Abraham, Jack Grealish and Jude Bellingham.

    "Juuuuuuuuuuuudee."

    Kane goes off

    Awww, no no no no no noooo.

    We've got a Mexican wave going round.

    It's properly picked up momentum too.

  6. Post update

    England 5-0 Albania

    San Marino, who are positioned 210 out of 210 in the world.

  7. Post update

    England 5-0 Albania

    Just shy of the hour mark...

    And just to spell it out, this victory will not be enough to take England to Qatar.

    Poland are 3-1 up in Andorra so Gareth Southgate's will need a point against San Marino.

  8. Action in Austria

    Two goals so far in the second-half. Both have come in Austria.

    The first was a penalty, scored by Marco Arnautovic to draw the home side level. Soon after, though, the visitors retake the lead with Dor Peretz scoring the goal.

  9. Post update

    England 5-0 Albania

    Spoke to an Albanian journalist as I was getting a half-time cuppa.

    We gave that awkward meeting-a-stranger-for-the-first-time smile to each other, under our masks.

    "Not going well, eh?" I said.

    He laughed and replied, "England too good, too good."

  10. Post update

    England 5-0 Albania

    Emile Smith Rowe, whose name looks like it's missing a hyphen, is out on the touchline and is getting some instructions from the England coaching staff.

    Perfect time to give him a debut, 5-0 up and with the opposition there for the taking.

  11. Post update

    England 5-0 Albania

    Rob Green basically saying it's a second half for stat padding.

    I'm all for it.

  12. 'All about personal motivations now'

    England 5-0 Albania

    Rob Green

    Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live

    England are well on their way to a comfortable win. They have come out and been a little bit flat now in this second half. It is very difficult to criticise but as a team you have to get your personal motivations now - opportunities to score and opportunities to get your stats up.

  13. CLOSE!

    England 5-0 Albania

    Jordan Henderson isn't a regular starter in this England XI but is going to give Gareth Southgate a headache after this game.

    Another lovely pick out by the Liverpool captain, fizzing the ball into the feet of Harry Kane on the edge of the box, but the Tottenham striker blazes over.

  14. Post update

    England 5-0 Albania

    Fair play to the Albanian supporters in the corner, they're still chanting and banging their drum.

    Those that are left anyway.

  15. Post update

    England 5-0 Albania

    The best thing about that third Harry Kane goal was the gasp from the crowd when they saw him leap into the air.

    There was a moment when they held their breath before screaming in celebration, almost in disbelief at what they had seen.

    Kane scores
  16. CLOSE!

    England 5-0 Albania

    Work to do for Jordan Pickford at the start of the second half.

    Sokol Cikalleshi, who has been Albania's most dangerous attacking outlet, lets rip from 30 yards out but it is cleanly grasped by the England numero uno.

  17. Post update

    OK I'll calm down.

  18. KICK-OFF

    England 5-0 Albania

    England had 11 shots in that first half, they scored five.

    Can they double the scoreline in the second half?

  19. Post update

    Ahhh yeh, perfect hat-trick! Didn't clock that.

    Goals were flying in all over the place, hard to keep track.
