Harry Kane (43 mins)
Image source, BBC SportHarry Kane is now England men's record goalscorer.
It breaks Wayne Rooney's record and the celebrations from his team-mates are huge.
Kane, who missed a penalty in that World Cup quarter-final defeat to France, steps up and slots it perfectly past Gianluigi Donnarumma to create history.
54 goals in 81 games. Incredible.

It's been given! Penalty to England for handball by Giovanni Di Lorenzo.

The referee has been advised to check the pitchside monitor.
England could get a penalty here.

It's the exact same corner routine to Harry Kane at the back post.
Again he peels off the back of the defender and is unmarked. He nudges it back and Giovanni Di Lorenzo blocks it.
But was that handball? Kane is convinced. We're going to VAR...

England quickly out of the blocks here. Clear momentum from the World Cup. But will we see a replay of the Euro final?

Leonardo Spinazzola is getting the ball in space on the left but his crosses haven't been great so far.
He whips another one straight out for a goalkick after a decent breakaway.
San Marino 0-1 Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland remain set fair for victory in Michael O'Neill's first game of his second spell in charge. You can follow dedicated match coverage of that game here.

It wasn't brilliantly hit by Phillips but it was accurate. It just went the wrong side of the post.
Harry Kane is furious. He wanted it rolled across so he could break the record.

Kalvin Phillips goes close with a shot from the edge of the box but England captain Harry Kane can't believe he didn't get played through there. He let Phillips know about it.
Italy 0-1 England
Jude Bellingham wins it back on the edge of the Italy box and it falls for Kalvin Phillips. He hits it first time and it skims INCHES past the post.
What an effort!
Italy 0-1 England
Declan Rice is furious as he picks up a yellow card for time wasting. It's his first penalisation and he feels hard done by.

A perfectly-timed sliding tackle from Declan Rice stops Nicolo Barella having a shot right on the edge of the England box.

Harry Kane's hold up play and distribution is fantastic. Bellingham is on another level from most players on the pitch.

Bellingham is playing a different game at the moment. It's like he's in the park or on the street. It's a joy to watch.
People are bouncing off him and he's flicking it over heads. It's a joy.
Italy 0-1 England
Harry Kane holds it up well on the right and wins a throw-in near the corner.
England have been in full control since taking the lead.
Dion Charles
After a frustrating opening quarter of the game, breakthrough for Northern Ireland against the team bottom of the Fifa world rankings.
Conor Washington swings in a cross from the right, and Bolton striker Dion Charles nips in front of his marker at the far post to poke it into the roof of the net.
His first international goal, a moment to savour.
