    Drama in Amsterdam where Tottenham's Steven Bergwijn has come off the bench to equalise against four-time world champions Germany.

    Meanwhile, Spain now lead Iceland 5-0, Austria have pulled a goal back against Scotland, who lead 2-1, and Christian Benteke has made it 3-0 to Belgium against Burkina Faso.

    Having gone 1-0 behind, European champions Italy now lead 3-1 in Turkey.

    Kyle Walker-Peters fizzes a cross in from the right but there's nobody in the six-yard area.

    Emile Smith Rowe comes in quickly to follow up but it's just about cleared in time.

    Eveything is in the Ivory Coast half. Nick Pope had his second touch but I'm not sure how many more he'll get.

    Harry Kane hasn't done too much since coming on. He has a few players around him as he tries to open up space in the middle but he's robbed of possession.

    A few minutes of possession for Ivory Coast comes to nothing when a long ball is floated straight out for a goal kick.

    England are coasting now.

    It was 35 yards out, Sangare thought it was over and then about 10 yards out realised it might not be.

    Ooooh, why not?

    It's good work by England to keep the ball on the left and when it comes to James Ward-Prowse in the centre he has space.

    He's a long way out but he has a pop and it spins dangerously over the crossbar. Not far off at all!

    Emile Smith Rowe comes in off the left and tries a one-two. The return pass is slightly too heavy but that was a promising move from the Arsenal youngster.

    Jude Bellingham drops his shoulder and skips past a player to open up space outside the box.

    Excellent, a really good performance from Tyrick Mitchell. He was not tested as much as we would like but showed real assurance - a consumate performance.

    Haller has been isolated and the balls into him haven't been great.

    Jude Bellingham and Jack Grealish look like they enjoy playing with each other. They're constantly finding each other with the ball in this second half.
