  • 94'
    And that's all she wrote. England's electric first half display was nullified by Nigeria in the second period, but Southgate's men did enough to grind out the win.
  • 93'
    Loftus-Cheek dinks the ball to Rose who is ruled to be offside.
  • 90'
    Four additional minutes will be played. Can Nigeria claw another goal back?
  • 86'
    Delph lofts an inviting ball to Rashford at the back post who nods over.
  • 85'
    Welbeck is bundled over on the edge of the box but the referee says no foul.
  • 81'
    Alli makes way for Delph.
  • 81'
    Rashford, not one to shy away from a long shot, hacks at the ball and watches on as it trickles over the line for a goal kick.
  • 78'
    Welbeck gallops through on goal but Troost-Ekong puts in a well-timed last ditch tackle to stop him getting a shot away.
  • 76'
    Iheanacho replaces Ighalo. Could he be the man to net the leveller?

at Nigeria
  • 63'
    Moses off, Musa on. Nigeria are going for it.
  • 62'
    Dier darts to the near post and, unmarked, flashes his header across the face of goal.
  • 59'
    It's a totally different game this half. Nigeria have come out determined. England looked stunned.
  • 56'
    Moses tries his luck from distance but lashes his shot high and into the stands. Wasteful.
Card

    Sterling takes a tumble in the box and picks up a booking. You're better than that, Raheem.
  • 46'
    GOAL! NIGERIA! IWOBI! What a start! After Ighalo's effort canons off the post, Iwobi meets the follow up with a thunderous, first-time strike. 2-1!
  • 45'
    Four changes at the break for Nigeria, Ogu, Omeruo, Ebeuhi and Etebo all enter the fray.
  • 45'
    A very dominant England display sees them 2-0 up and cruising at half-time.

    One added minute at the end of the first half.

  • 39'
    GOAL! ENGLAND! KANE! Kane lashes an effort from the edge of the box. His strike is too hot to handle for Uzoho and England double their lead! 2-0.
  • 37'
    Sterling wriggles away from his marker and rifles a shot over the bar!
  • 36'
    Pickford is called into action! The Everton keeper pounces on the ball at the front post.
  • 33'
    Sterling finds himself behind the Nigeria defence and tries to feed Trippier at the back post but his pass is sloppy and is easily dealt with by Uzoho.
  • 29'
    A very well-worked attack from England ends in Lingard poking his effort at the keeper. Very incisive play from the Three Lions.
  • 27'
    Nigeria make their first appearance in the England box. Ighalo hits a shot on the turn but it's blocked by Stones.
  • 23'
    Sterling is brought down cynically by Mikel on the halfway line.
  • 19'
    Idowu's last ditch tackle stops Ashley Young from doubling England's lead.
  • 15'
    The Nigerians are struggling to string a few passes together. They've managed to drive England out of their half, however.
  • 13'
    It's deja vu for the Nigeria back four. Alli plays Sterling in once again but the Manchester City winger dinks wide of the target.
  • 11'
    England are piling the pressure on. Alli slips the ball through to Sterling who sees his shot blocked.

  • 7'
    GOAL! ENGLAND! CAHILL! A real peach of a header from the Chelsea man! Cahill rises highest, flexes his neck muscles and drills a header into the top corner. Unstoppable. 1-0.
  • 6'
    Uzoho dives well to his right to push Trippier's curling effort wide of the post!
  • 6'
    England have a free-kick on the edge of the box after Alli was dragged to the deck. Young and Trippier stood over it.
  • 4'
    A nasty clash of heads between Joel Obi and Balogun. The latter looks to have come off worse, taking a sore one in the cheek.
  • 3'
    A few early exchanges of possession but nothing dangerous in the opening minutes.
  • 1'
    Alli, whose biological father is Nigerian, is being loudly booed by the Nigeria fans. It's going to be a long game for the Spurs man...
  • 1'
    We're underway!
