    England 2-0 Ivory Coast

    Tyrick Mitchell tries to slide it through to Jude Bellingham but it's deflected.

    Jack Grealish keeps it in play, finds Bellingham and he spins sharply in the box. He chips it back across but it's headed behind.

    Wonderful stuff again from the youngster. He is really putting down a performance.

    Jude Bellingham goes on a brilliant run through the middle but doesn't take the chance to shoot and he ends up dribbling into a crowd in the box. Raheem Sterling holds his arms out as if to say "why not?"

    Kamara came in late and timed it all wrong. In international football these things are going to test you.

    England 2-0 Ivory Coast

    Ivory Coast need to be careful. There's been a few hasty challenges coming in.

    There's two in quick succession and the latest on Jack Grealish brings out a sharp whistle and a bit of upset from the England players.

    Poland 1-0 Sweden

    Poland have taken the lead against Sweden in the vital World Cup play-off. No prizes for guessing who scored. A penalty by Robert Lewandowski means Poland are 40 minutes or so from qualifying for the World Cup.

    England's fans seem to have already decided this one is over as a contest and they are probably right. It means the very early arrival of the time-honoured Wembley tradition of trying to launch paper aeroplanes on to the pitch, with each success greeted by loud cheers.

  7. Mane scores winning penaltypublished at 21:00 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    Senegal are off to the World Cup!

    Reaction here.

    Oof. Emmanuel Agbadou kicks out at Jack Grealish a little and gives away a free-kick. Grealish isn't too happy.

    England take the free-kick quickly, Jude Bellingham is slipped in on the left but his cross is flicked away dangerously in the six-yard area.

  9. Young Lions lead in Albaniapublished at 20:55 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    Albania U21s 0-2 England U21s

    Some news about England Under-21s who are playing an important 2023 European Championship qualifier away to Albania.

    Arsenal's Folarin Balogun, who is on loan at Middlesbrough, and Liverpool's Curtis Jones have given the Young Lions a 2-0 lead.

    Lee Carsley's side need to win to keep the pressure on group leaders Czech Republic, who started the day three points clear of second-placed England.

    That game also started at 19:45 BST and they are into the second half.

    He's got a touch on the ball so this may well be overturned.

  12. VAR checkpublished at 20:54 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    England 2-0 Ivory Coast

    It looks like a decent tackle. The referee has been instructed to take a look at the screen.

  13. PENALTY - Englandpublished at 46 mins

    England 2-0 Ivory Coast

    Wow!

    Less than a minute into the second half, England have a penalty. It's an excellent dummy from Jack Grealish in the box and it comes to Jude Bellingham.

    He's about to shoot but there's a touch from a defender which takes it away from him.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 20:52 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    England 2-0 Ivory Coast

    Three changes for Ivory Coast too. Wolves' Willy Boly is among those coming on to provide a bit more stability at the back.

    Manchester United's Eric Bailly is off, along with Arsenal's Nicole Pepe.

  15. KICK-OFFpublished at 46 mins

    Back under way at Wembley. Any more goals from England?

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:51 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    HT: England 2-0 Ivory Coast

    Jonathan Woodgate
    Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    The sending off was more to do with dissent and when he was at Spurs you could never rely on him.

    He always had that in him. Anything can happen with Serge Aurier.

  18. Postpublished at 20:49 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    4/4 penalties missed now!

    Crazy stuff.

  19. Postpublished at 20:48 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly put the first penalty onto the crossbar...

    Mohamed Salah then stepped up for Egypt and missed his!

    Eeek. Follow the shootout.

  20. 'Go on, let him stay on'published at 20:46 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    HT: England 2-0 Ivory Coast

    Serge Aurier tugged back the shirt of Jack Grealish for his first yellow card, then it was actually for dissent that he was shown a second one.

    The referee couldn't do much about it but Grealish even tried pleading Aurier's case!
