    39'
    Some fairly quick passing from England, but it's a way from goal and too far removed to drag Bulgaria out of position.
    38'
    Two neat passes from Rashford and Barkley sets up Rose in the box with a chance to cross, but he fails to find an England shirt. Henderson then has a chance to cross for Kane, but it's too high, and Rose gets another go, this time winning a throw.
    36'
    Rashford looks to break forward down the middle, and Bodurov gives him an unwelcome tug to put him off his stride. That's a yellow.

    Rose crosses to Sterling in a dangerous possession, but he fluffs his lines. The full-back was released by a nice pass from Rashford, but Sterling was not expecting the ball as he pointed towards Kane as the suggested target.
    34'
    Here's the goal, by the way.
    33'
    England in possession, for a change etc?

    I Popov lays it out for S Popov, and he glances it towards goal. It's not a bad effort, but Pickford saves easily.

    Keane goes in late on Marcelinho in midfield, and from behind, and gets himself a booking.

    29'
    Malinov is caught in possession after a miscontrol, but he had shielded the ball in time to bring a foul from Kane.
    28'
    Barkley tries to pass wide for Trippier, but misjudges it completely and it rolls out of play for a throw.
    27'
    Sterling's cross is headed out by a diving effort from Sarmov.
    26'
    Sterling skips past the defence after breaking the offside trap ILLEGALLY, and has a shot deflected over by Sarmov after the flag went up.
    24'
    GOAL! England 1-0 Bulgaria. Kane scores - Iliev passes short, gets it back, plays it left, and oh! There's Raheem Sterling. He takes the ball, dinks it inside to Kane, and he prods home.

    All England possession. It's like watching Spain in the 2000s, and just as entertaining. Rashford smashes one over from 35 yards. What's the point?
    21'
    They're more spaced out than this on the pitch now.

    GOAL! NO! Sterling brings down a pass from the left as releases it quickly into the path of Kane's run. He taps it past the 'keeper, but he's flagged offside in what is a plainly correct decision.
    18'
    Sterling is boshed over by Ivanov, and about 40 seconds earlier he was sandwiched in the box as he strode towards goal - it was obviously a fair challenge from Malinov, mind.
    17'
    This is all England.
    16'
    Rice chips a long ball forward down the right, and it's overhit for Trippier to reach.

    Rose volleys in a great cross from the left for Henderson, and he boots it well wide of goal. It was, in fair, a tough chance to get right, and it's not exactly in his wheelhouse.
    14'
    Sterling is tackled by Nedyalkov and England have a throw up the pitch. It is bloodless stuff.
