    If you are all about Foden watch on his first appearance for England, then you'll be pleased to know he's not looked out of place here. Very tidy in possession and always looking to create and play forward.
    23'

    More good defending by Gomez as he eases across to block the dangerous run of Gudmundsson down the left. Kane clears the resulting corner and then Pickford marches off his line to pluck another cross out of the air.

    England are completely in control here. Surely it's only a matter of time until they find a way through....
    15'
    Gomez stretches to cut out Gudmundsson's devilish cross from the right. Pickford has a rush of blood to the head as he chases down a loose ball, but England manage to get bodies back and avert the danger. That was Iceland's best moment so far.

    Worth mentioning there is no VAR here. Kane's goal was chalked off and that was that. However, replays suggest he was onside....
    10'
    Dier flicks on the resulting right-wing corner, but neither Sterling or Kane can get on the end of it. England are knocking on the door.
    9'
    Walker takes aim from the right edge of the box, but sees his driven shot deflect into the side netting.
    6'
    KANE GOAL DISALLOWED! The Spurs man arrives late to slide home a sweeping left-wing cross. He looks a bit surprised it's not been given. Offside apparently.
    4'
    England monopolising the ball right from the off. Iceland are dropping deep and looking to restrict space. It doesn't stop Kane from having a venomous pop from range though. Good hands from Halldórsson.
    2'
    Iceland coach, Hamren has faced England three times before, losing two but winning his most recent match against the Three Lions as Sweden boss in November 2012.
    1st Half

    KICK OFF! Iceland get us underway after both teams take the knee.
    16.55
    STAT: England have scored 46 goals in their past 13 matches (W10 D1 L2) .

    HOT-SHOT HARRY: Harry Kane has been directly involved in 16 goals in his last six outings for the Three Lions (10 goals, six assists). The Spurs man is hoping to be only the third player to net in seven consecutive games for England after George Camsell (9, 1929-36) and Steve Bloomer (10, 1895-99).

    DID YOU KNOW? Kalvin Phillips is bidding to be the first Leeds United player to earn an England cap since Alan Smith in March 2004.

    Gareth Southgate: "We have built belief and rebuilt that connection with the fans, which is so important. When I see the quality of young players coming into the squad, it is really exciting."

    Iceland boss Erik Hamren: "In football, not every time you meet is it realistic, Iceland showed that versus England at that time in the Euros. A lot of smaller teams in the world have shown that to bigger teams so I am hoping it will be an unrealistic day also."
