    Conor Gallagher goes down in the box. No penalty says the referee. A replay shows that's the right call. Gallagher is going down before Lucas Beraldo makes contact.

    Jude Bellingham has been fantastic as we have seen previously from him, he has been fouled a lot.

    He probably needs to address how he has been attacked tonight by the Brazilian players.

    Gareth Southgate puts his arm around Bellingham and has a chat with him. Bellingham didn't look too pleased at coming off. He's been fouled a lot this evening and seemed to get cramp too so it looks like a precaution.

    It's a fourth England cap for Lewis Dunk, and Joe Gomez's first international game since 2020.

    Chilwell looks really ropey, he can never stay fit, and clearly lacks match fitness. If he struggles in a friendly then he shouldn't get near the match day squad in the summer. It isn't like our defence is absolutely world class and we can afford to have a weak link.

    Really good test for England.

    It's exactly what they needed with the movement and the way Brazil have set up.

    It has been great for a lot of players, Anthony Gordon looks tired now he has down a lot of work.

    I wouldn't be surprised if there was a couple of changes soon.

    England 0-0 Brazil

    Almost a lovely goal from Brazil's Lucas Paqueta. The ball comes to the West Ham midfielder near the corner of the box and he hits a beautiful first-time effort with the outside of his boot which goes just wide.

  10. What's happening elsewhere?published at 20:22 Greenwich Mean Time 23 March

    Earlier this evening Christoph Baumgartner scored after six seconds to record the fastest ever goal in international football as Austria beat Slovakia in Bratislava.

    His effort was a second quicker than Lukas Podolski's strike for Germany against Ecuador in 2013.

    It was also two seconds faster than when Davide Gualtieri stunned England by scoring for San Marino after eight seconds in a World Cup qualifier in 1993 and Christian Benteke's goal for Belgium against Gibraltar in 2017.

    Meanwhile, Germany did their best to get that record back with Florian Wirtz smashing in a shot from distance from Toni Kroos' pass to go 1-0 up in France seven seconds into their contest.

    A poor Brazil touch gets Jude Bellingham on the ball. The England midfielder tries to lob the goalkeeper from 35 yards out but it's off target.

    Anthony Gordon finds Ben Chilwell on the overlap but the England left-back's cutback is cut out.

    The game has gone very flat and the paper aeroplanes are starting to be thrown from the stands. Some of them have made it onto the pitch. The match needs a spark.

    Passages of this game have been scrappy.

    There is a lot of the bodies in the way with tripping and blocking.

    Jude Bellingham is having to use his body so often to protect the ball, it looks scruffy at times.

    I would summarise today's texts and tweets as... moan, moan, moan, moan, moan.

    If Southgate subs off Gordon later, I’m not going to be happy. He’s been good. Take someone else off like Watkins, Chilwell or Gallagher.

    Absolutely no atmosphere, isn't it time we used different stadiums more often?

    Raphinha asking too much of Vinicius Jr with a powerful corner.

    Nice Brazil move and Vinicius Jr swings in a cross. Nobody is running in to put pressure on but Ben Chilwell puts it behind for a corner just in case.
