Destiny Udogie risks a red as he drags down Phil Foden. The ref gives only a free-kick. The Tottenham full-back needs to be careful.

Decent effort!
Kalvin Phillips looks to make up for a sluggish first half with a whipped shot that just clears the bar. It comes from good pressing from men further forward.

B: This England side will go out at the group stages if they qualify. For the collection of talent they have, their play is so lethargic and uninspiring. I can't help but feel another manager could be getting way more out of them.
Andrew: I’ve said it before, while it’s hard to argue with Southgate’s results (especially in tournaments), it’s harder to watch an England squad so full of attacking talent and dynamic players set up to play in such a slow and cautious manner.

Oh, I don't know. Maybe Foden was blocked maliciously by Destiny Udogie. Looks a lot worse slowed down. No penalty awarded, though. We crack on.

Phil Foden flings himself to the ground in the box, making out that he is blocked as he looks to skip past an Italian defender. Difficult to judge on first watch if he's fouled or not. My instinct is that he wasn't.
It came at the end of a nice, sweeping England move, though.

Looks like half the fans aren't bothered about the second half judging by how slowly they're getting back to their seats after the break.

Tough half for Manchester City's Kalvin Phillips, who was booked early on and looked well off the pace. He looked like a player who is short of serious action. There is a reason for that - he is short of serious action.

It's been a bit of a to-and-fro game.
A solid start from England, then the goal came for Italy, a real sucker punch.
The stadium went quiet, the atmosphere dropped and it was Jude Bellingham who decided to drive forward, positive pass and run to win the penalty. Then England were back level.
A very level game so far.
HALF-TIME
Italy 1-1 England
Italy shocked Wembley by scoring from their first shot on goal, but Harry Kane's penalty means we go into the break all square.
As it stands, England are qualifying for the finals in Germany next summer.

Matt Upson
Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live
We've touched on him a couple of times in this first half already, Destiny Udogie.
He's just shown there exactly why he has started tonight. Such a driving run, bursting forward with such energy. Coming into the box from the left and doing a few one-twos.
Just brings another dimension to this Italy side.

Big save from Jordan Pickford!
Destiny Udogie is allowed to turn in the box and fire low, but the Everton keeper is there with a really important block.
from amongst a scramble, Giovanni Di Lorenzo sees an effort deflected over.

There'll be three added minutes. The band have started playing 'The Great Escape' theme. Not sure this falls into that category.
