    SMS Message: Regarding Southgate and the attacking play, you can't play like that for the whole game, players will be exhausted. Just ask the Dutch how many international trophies they won with their total football. from Rob

  2. SUBSTITUTION

    England 2-1 Italy

    Jordan Henderson enters the game, taking the place of Kalvin Phillips. Sensible.

    There's a mixed reception for Jordan Henderson, those cheering drowning out the boos.

    Henderson comes on to the field for Phillips.
  3. Post update

    England 2-1 Italy

    England are causing Italy all sorts of problems now.

    Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham combine to set up the former for a low shot that is saved.

    Southgate applauds from the sidelines.
  4. Post update

    England 2-1 Italy

    I think if I'm Gareth Southgate now, I'm getting Kalvin Phillips off before he gives the ref a reason to do the job for him.

  5. 'Guehi next in line for centre back roles'

    England 2-1 Italy

    Matt Upson

    Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    This to me looks like a big suggestion that Marc Guehi is the next in line for those centre back roles.

    If Stones or Maguire aren't fit then he will be the next one judging by that change.

    It will be a feather in his cap that he has established himself there in the pecking order.

  6. YELLOW CARD

    England 2-1 Italy

    A yellow card for Giorgio Scalvini for something he has said.

    You can see why too. Kalvin Phillips left a boot in late and caught one of his team-mates moment earlier.

    The England man is on a yellow. He's got away with that.

    SMS Message: Am I allowed to alter my Ballon d'Or vote? Jude Bellingham it is! He has returned the charm of the good old beautiful game!! from Opeyemi
    Opeyemi

    N: Haven't seen a youngster live up to their hype quite like Jude Bellingham, in quite some time. He looks like he's got a Ballon D'or in him

    G: Bellingham just gets better every single game, he's going to be unreal when he grows up!

  8. Post update

    England 2-1 Italy

    Foden tries to run the ball past El Sharaawy.

    England are enjoying themselves now.

    Phil Foden takes Federico Dimarco to the cleaners on the right but his ball into the middle is cut out before Jude Bellingham can make anything of it.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONS

    England 2-1 Italy

    John Stones departs and Marc Guehi comes on for his seventh cap.

    Moise Kean joins the game along with Alessandro Bastoni and Federico Dimarco for Italy.

    Goalscorer Gianluca Scamacca is one of those withdrawn.

  10. Post update

    England 2-1 Italy

    Marcus Rashford has the hunger now.

    He is found by Harry Kane with a fired pass out to the left. He cuts inside but this time he fires wide.

    Rashford tries to run beyond Cristante.
  11. Post update

    England 2-1 Italy

    There's a chance for the Italians, though.

    Gianluca Scamacca is found in the box and he fires a rising shot that Jordan Pickford is right behind to save.

  12. Post update

    England 2-1 Italy

    Changes on the way for Italy. They've not really been in it this half.

  13. 'That's got the crowd going!'

    England 2-1 Italy

    Matt Upson

    Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    That's certainly got the crowd off their seats! The whole stadium is on their feet applauding.

    A lovely flicked ball from Foden into Bellingham, he strides through the Italian defence, lends it wide to Rashford, who then dribbles and lets fly.

    The shot is so low it just whistles past Donnarumma into the bottom corner.

    Rashford jumps in the air in celebration as Kane and Foden follow.
  14. Post update

    England 2-1 Italy

    Take nothing away from the scorer - it was a fine cut inside and finish from Rashford - but Jude Bellingham! Take a bow, son.

  15. Post update

    England 2-1 Italy

    Alex Howell

    Football reporter at Wembley Stadium

    That goal was all Jude Bellingham. He won a sliding tackle on the edge of his own box, then started the counter attack and passed the ball to Rashford who smashed it into the bottom corner. Lethal!

  16. GOAL - England 2-1 Italy

    Marcus Rashford

    Rashford scores the second England goal.

    BANG!

    Scored by Marcus Rashford, made by Jude Bellingham. The Real Madrid midfielder wins a tackle in his own half and is then up to lead the charge forward via a neat touch. His pass hands over responsibility to Rashford, who cuts inside and then smashes a low shot into the bottom corner.

    Brilliant from England!

  17. Post update

    England 1-1 Italy

    Bit too far out.

    Domenico Berardi turns and opts to fire a shot from range. It is rising from the moment it leaves his boot and clears the bar.

  19. Post update

    England 1-1 Italy

    England have started this half as they did the first, controlling possession, looking to hurt Italy. They won't want to get stung again.

    Kyle: Lot of negativity on here. England are in a great place. Look at the options we have going forward. Kane, Saka, Rushford, Foden, Bellingham, Grealish and Watkins. Also got Ivan Toney to come back. Some brilliant fullbacks to. We're in a real good place.
