James Maddison bends the free kick into the box but Harry Souttar heads away.

Will England get to half time without a single shot on target? It is looking that way.

Australia's recovery runs are quite brilliant. They flood numbers back and allow players to get back in positions.

England need to continue to move that ball quicker and take people on in one-on-one situations.

Jack Grealish plays the ball around Ryan Strain, who pulls back the England forward and is booked as a result.

Alex: Any chance Gallagher and Henderson could try passing the ball to the attacking 4 instead of those behind them? Falling asleep watching this!

Richard: Be ready for substitutions at half-time.

Anon: I just want England to play the ball forward!

Australia are really good for getting numbers back quickly and a promising England attack is shut down as the visitors get in their shape. Levi Colwill looks a bit frustrated as he assesses options for a pass, but not much is on.

It's not really worked for this much changed England side so far. They've threatened in flashes but you can see this team hasn't played together much.

Republic of Ireland have fallen behind at home to Greece in their Euro 2024 qualifier thanks to Giorgos Giakoumakis' thumping header.

Australia have a lot of space to attack in the middle and Martin Boyle fancies his chances but thumps a wayward effort wide.

A swift third booking of the game as Conor Gallagher is penalised now for a late challenge.

I don't think there's any need for two yellow cards in that situation.

Adam: Cricket is my number one sport though I like football. I hated it when Sven's reserve side lost to Australia 20 years ago and I shuddered when I saw tonight's England line up. Never give the Aussies a sniff. Ever.

Sam: Have the Aussies selected Duke for their attack because they think he might offer something in English conditions, or am I mixing up my sports?

Levi Colwill commits a foul and then suddenly gets involved in a bit of pushing and shoving with Keanu Baccus. Both players are booked as a result.

Australia are playing a really high line and for the first time it was breached.

A great pass from James Maddison too.

It wasn't offside! Ollie Watkins timed the run to perfection as he ran in behind. He did so well but credit to Mathew Ryan who pushed Watkins as wide as he could.

Great attacking play by England.

Suddenly a burst of drama as now England have a huge chance!

Ollie Watkins is sent through on goal, he rounds goalkeeper Mat Ryan and slips a shot towards the far corner, it is about to hit the post but an Australia defender clears anyway.

JF: Is there any chance that the England midfield passing the ball forward?.... Sideways and backwards for nearly half an hour.

Martin Boyle's delivery from the corner isn't dealt with by England and, as the defence scrambles, Kye Rowles lashes over from close range.

Another let off for England.

Fikayo Tomori heads a throw in behind and Australia have ANOTHER corner.

Will they make one of these set pieces count?

Mike: Maybe Southgate should take a leaf out of the u21 book who showed last night that actually playing front foot attacking football is the best for of defence.

Luke: Games like this should be a chance for England to put the world on notice as to how dominant they can be. At the moment, the world has nothing to worry about.

Don: I can't help but feel that if Raheem Sterling was in this England team he would've carved through the Australian defence by now. Where's the running at Australia? They lack inventiveness at the moment.

Ahh the classic look at the turf after a shocking shot from James Maddison there.

The Tottenham man is away down the left, he cuts inside and shapes to shoot but skews his shot way, way, way, way wide.

The surface is wet, I'll give him that, but not one for the highlights reel.
