    34'
    Kane heads clear a Mak corner from the right, and ref Mazic blows up for a foul anyway. Lithuania now lead Slovenia 2-0.
    33'
    This seems like an England under Hodgson performance - Rooney spraying passes, Kane isolated. Lithuania lead Slovenia 1-0 in the other Group F fixture this afternoon.
    32'
    Rose misplaces a clearance straight to Gregus, but Lallana is out smartly to block any danger 35 yards from goal.
    31'
    Hart kicks the ball straight into touch - Pep Guardiola no doubt suppresses a smile.
    30'
    Some nice keepball at the back, but Cahill is then penalised for a foul on the halfway line. But England win the ball back quickly.
    28'
    Gregus breaks up a Henderson run but the pass back to him is overhit and Hart is out to gather on the edge of his area.
    27'
    Sterling is late on Hubocan but the Serbian referee does not produce a yellow card this time.
    26'
    Skrtel heads clear Rooney's free-kick for a corner. Kozacik is out to catch Rooney's unconvincing delivery.
    25'
    Skrtel catches Kane with his elbow as the pair compete for a high ball. The Fenerbahce defender gets a yellow card for the challenge.

    24'
    Henderson threads a pass through the left channel, but Sterling miscontrols as he runs into the area. Lallana and Sterling have swapped flanks, by the way.
    23'
    This is OK for England - plenty of possession but little innovation going forward. Crowd have been very quiet as well.
    22'
    Kane airkicks a shot at the near post from Walker's cross following a one-two down the right, and Durica clears.
    21'
    Henderson's half-volleyed pass on the edge of the area towards Sterling hits the hand of Durica, but there was no intention there.
    20'
    Dier finds Danny Rose down the left, but the pass is poor and England have to start again from the back through Stones.
    19'
    Henderson breaks down the right - from a cross from the right, Kozacik flaps horribly under pressure from Sterling. The Viktoria Plzen goalkeeper is about six inches taller than the England winger!
    18'
    Stones is late on Mak down the Slovakia right - a dangerous moment for England. Mak will take it himself, facing a two-man wall. Kane heads clear the set-piece though.
    17'
    Following a short corner routine with Lallana, Rooney floats the ball out of play. Stones feels Durica impeded him - the Slovakia defender tells him to get up.
    16'
    Lallana's back heel finds Rose, who wins a corner down the left off Mak.
    15'
    Rooney is playing very deep - Sterling and Lallana are the two supporting Kane.
    14'
    Sterling misreads a pass into the area from Dier, with the ubiquitous Hubocan again on his shoulder.
    13'
    Hubocan is again tight to Sterling on the halfway line and concedes a throw on the left of the halfway line - the Marseille defender is following him all over the pitch.
