    England 2-0 Ukraine

    Bukayo Saka's flick is blocked on the edge of the box and there's a few faint appeals for a penalty but it appears to hit the defender's chest.

    Jude Bellingham then pulls it back from the byline and it's not too far away from an England team-mate.

    England try something fancy as Bukayo Saka leaves it for James Maddison. He fakes a shot and instead tees up Saka but he slices it miles wide. Oops!

    Verna: Like watching Henderson and Bellingham together! Think Real Madrid will come calling for him though!

    Moose: Football with the handbrake on.

    The Southgate way!Nobody wins anything in any sport playing like this anymore.

    Mykola Matviyenko pulls back Bukayo Saka right on the edge of the Ukraine box. It's a free-kick and he's in the book.

    Ukraine have still not had a shot on target.

    It's not made for a great spectacle.

    It's just getting a bit frustrating now. James Maddison is getting on the ball more and trying to dictate the play.

    He's a great football and has a good football brain.

    James Maddison drives past a few players and sees the run of Bukayo Saka but his through ball is too heavy.

    Maddison could have had a shot!

    It's OK having the ball but England can only relax if they get the next goal.

    Lots of possession but they need to do more with it.

    Mykola Matviyenko threatens to creep in behind but John Stones reads the situation and mops up nicely.

    England just maintaining control here helped by a distinct lack of attacking threat from Ukraine. This already has the feel of 'job done' unless Ukraine produce something they have not looked capable of so far.

    Ukraine make a triple substitution and Chelsea's big-money signing Mykhailo Mudryk is one of those to be hooked. Everton's Vitalii Mykolenko is also off.

    Oleksandr Zinchenko slides it through to Mykhailo Mudryk and it's a good chance for him to shoot but his first touch is poor. It pings off him and the chance is gone.

    Nice attacking play from England.

    Kyle Walker lays it off to Bukayo Saka on the right, he fizzes it across the six-yard area and it's just behind Jude Bellingham.

    Ruslan Malinovskyi's clever backheel almost tees up a shot in the box but Declan Rice is sharp enough to intercept.

    The tempo has really dropped. England are far too comfortable and they are playing as that.

    Alan: If anyone can explain why Ukraine are inviting pressure by playing out from the back I'd be interested.

    I just hope England don't start to drop off. It looks like they are being patient and waiting for the right moment to press the ball.

    England need to keep playing at a fast pace. If they score a third goal then Ivan Toney might come on.

    It's a bit too easy for England at the moment.

    Mykola Matviyenko dinks a wasteful ball over the top straight to Jordan Pickford.

    James Maddison tries to dip that shot but it may have taken a bobble off this Wembley pitch.

    He had Jude Bellingham to his right and free. Maybe should have fed him in.

    Ahh, lovely turn from James Maddison as he chops back inside, leaving his defender behind. He has space to shoot but fires it over the bar. That was a real chance to make his mark!

    Ben Chilwell's overlapping run on the left takes a player out of Jude Bellingham's route. He tries to curl it through to Harry Kane using the outside of his boot but it doesn't come off.
