Thanks all for your company and comments - night!

So there we go. England hang in there after playing their arses off in the first half, and their talisman talises just when they need him the most. They join Belgium on three points, and know that a win over Panama takes them into the last 16.

Full-time: Tunisia 1-2 England
90+4'
Tell you what, Gareth Southgate enjoyed that goal as well, and it's a huge one for England. They can now go into the Panama game in on a buzz,, not furious with themselves and still have a shot at topping the group.

England celebrate the goal properly, wasting a good two minutes, then replace Linhgard with Dier.

GOAL! Tunisia 1-2 England (Kane) Have a look! Another fine corner from Trippier, and Maguire is up high and early again! He flicks on, and in front of goal, Kane does superbly to adjust his body position, twisting head and shoulder to head home like an Action Man figure! What a player!
90'
There'll be four added minutes and being them with a corner, very well-won by Loftus-Cheek who pressures Meriah into a clubfooted tip behind...
89'
Excellent from Loftus-Cheek again - why wasn't he on earlier? - and he takes a pass from Walker on the half-turn, diddling his man and pacing towards the line. But a bum touch takes it away from him, and he can't get his body around the ball to cross.
88'
Nice from England, Loftus-Cheek marauding down the right and cutting back a low cross ... Rashford should shoot, but dummies instead, and Lingard isn't ready for it! Why didn't he hit it?!
86'
Lingard has barely got into the Tunisia box this half - I'm not sure why, I guess because England's passing hasn't been as sharp so there've been fewer opportunities.

Tunisia hare going to finish with about 15 defenders on the pitch. Khalifa replaces Khazri, who walks off as slowly as he can, as you would.
83'
Young finds Rashford down the left and he attacks Ben Youssef along the by-line poking a low cross that wins a corner. Young's delivery is decent, Stones attacks it, takes a fist in the phizog when the keeper punches, and has a free-kick awarded against him for his trouble. The referee has not had a good game.
82'
Tunisia have done a really good job second half - as you'd expect them too. Just the other day, they kept Spain out for more than 80 minutes, and clearly know what they're about in defence.
81'
England do not need three centre-backs at this point.

Off goes Alli, on comes Loftus-Cheek.
79'
... and he looks to drop over the wall and in, but wafts over wall and bar instead.
79'
There's some argy-bargy in the box as Young prepares himself...
77'
Rashford tries to inject some pace, running at Maaloul. Nothing comes of it, but it us England's tempo, and here they come again, Alli playing a one-two with Kane, who lifts a return pass that Lingard is also after. Both are fouled, and England have a free-kick, 22 yards out, pretty central. Young fancies it...
74'
England's passing is far too slow now. They need something new in midfield - if they'd picked him, Jack Wilshere would be a decent option. But they didn't, so I'm not certain who is.
