England v Belgium: Nations League – live!

90+4 mins: It’s all over! The best team in the world has been vanquished!

90+3 mins: Kane loses it, but James wins it back off Doku on halfway and get it straight back to him again.

90+3 mins: Kane has the ball by the corner flag, on England’s left. Precisely where the home side would want it.

90+1 mins: There will be four more minutes, or thereabouts. They start with Denayer’s crossfield pass sailing over Doku’s head to give the home side a throw-in.

89 mins: One last change for England, Jadon Sancho replacing England’s apparent matchwinner, Mount.

87 mins: Belgium press forward, but Trippier wins the ball and boots clear, and Kane backs into Denayer, goes down and wins a free kick.

85 mins: Chance for England! Rice wins the ball and heads off down the left. He passes inside to Rashford, and runs onto the return. Finally another pass to Rashford, perfectly weighted, and the forward lets it run across him, gives himself space to shoot, and then shoots over! A dodgy penalty apart, England two best chances of the game have come in the last couple of minutes, and that was the best of them.

84 mins: Another substitution, this time Jéremy Doku replacing Carrasco.

83 mins: It’s an excellent corner, which dips onto Kane’s head, central and eight yards out. He completely messes up the header, though, and misses by yards.

82 mins: Rashford leads an England break, which ends with another Mount shot taking another deflection. This one carries it wide.

81 mins: Belgium keep pressing. Carrasco runs to the edge of the area, before his pass through to Lukaku deflects off a defender and goes behind for a corner. This one Pickford does catch.

78 mins: Captaincy update: Axel Witsel has taken over from De Bruyne as Belgian captain, and Kane has taken the armband from Henderson.

77 mins: Belgium are turning on the pressure. Lukaku is almost released by an almost identical pass. They win a corner, which Pickford comes for but doesn’t get. England clear.

75 mins: Lukaku catches the defence out, but messes up the finish! A straightforward pass from halfway finds the forward running between Walker and Dier, but instead of powering on towards goal he pauses, allowing the defenders time to get back and block the shot when it comes.

74 mins: That’s a poor foul on Rashford by Meunier, the challenge of a player who is not just outpaced but a bit tired and also a bit peeved.

72 mins: What a chance for Belgium! Carrasco runs onto De Bruyne’s phenomenal chance, but attempts the most difficult of all options for the finish, letting the ball run across his body before lifting it first-time over the onrushing Pickford with his right foot, and doesn’t get it quite right. The ball clears Pickford’s trailing leg, but bounces wide!

71 mins: England, and Dier in particular, are coping a lot better with Lukaku in this half. For half an hour he was the game’s dominant force, but he has been quiet since the break.

70 mins: De Bruyne spots Castagne lurking in England’s penalty area when no defender had, but Trippier heads away his cross.

66 mins: A double substitution for England sees Phillips replace Jordan Henderson, and Harry Kane come on for Calvert-Lewin.

Mount gets the ball on the left-hand corner of the area, running onto Trippier’s knock-down. He gives himself some space before shooting across goal, and the ball deflects off Alderweireld, loops over Mignolet and dips into the net!

63 mins: Meunier plays a nice one-two with De Bruyne and then nudges the ball back towards Lukaku. Walker however is well positioned, as he has been a couple of times already in this half, to intercept and bludgeon clear.

62 mins: I’m not really sure that Kalvin Phillips is the substitute England need here, but he’s the one they’re going to get.

61 mins: The ball drops to Calvert-Lewin on the edge of the area, and he swings his right foot. It’s a quarter-chance at best, and he gets about a quarter of a full connection.

61 mins: Kieran Trippier just kicked the ball with his left foot.

58 mins: Rice slides in to dispossess Lukaku, a challenge that both players seem to feel. The Belgian gets up feeling his hip, and Englishman limps away.

55 mins: Brighter from England, with Mount running beyond the man on the ball, getting the pass from Henderson and winning a corner. They still haven’t created anything much from open play, but there are signs of mild improvement.

53 mins: Calvert-Lewin jumps into Denayer and goes down, wanting a penalty. He doesn’t get one.

51 mins: England have the ball in a promising position on the left. Rashford is out there, along with Trippier. Calvert-Lewin comes out to offer an option. Behind him Mount is more central, but 10 yards outside the area. There is absolutely nobody in the penalty area for England, nobody to aim a cross at. They go back to the defence.

49 mins: Calvert-Lewin thumps a shot way over the bar from 25 yards. Rashford had a chance to run clear himself there, but never seemed to reach full speed. “The depressing thing about this team and performance is that they are being terrible in exactly the way they were terrible against Denmark,” writes Felix Wood. “There’s five at the back, but with no one in midfield who can take the ball on the half-turn there is no way to play out from the back. With Trippier so one-footed on the left the Belgian right-back isn’t worried about a cross so isn’t going to get dragged out to block it, meaning there’s no space for Rashford to cut inside, so he’s constantly up against three defenders. It’s all so slow and one paced.”

The players are on their way back out. By the looks of things there have been no halftimely team changes.

Here’s a picture of the first penalty incident. The weird thing is how far the players are from the ball, with neither of them running towards it. Nobody else in the entire world seems to be complaining about it, though, so perhaps I’m wrong on this one. Plus England have had a very generous penalty award of their own, so have lost their right to complain anyway.

45+2 mins: It’s a penalty apiece at half-time, a scoreline that flatters England.

45+1 mins: There’ll only be the one minute of stoppage time before the interval.

45 mins: Rice bizarrely passes the ball straight to Carrasco in midfield, and Belgium launch a fine move which ends when De Bruyne’s low cross is booted clear.

43 mins: Chance for Carrasco, but he drags it wide! He’s released by Lukaku’s excellent backheel, but he hurries his shot.

An excellent penalty from Marcus Rashford, sent high to the taker’s left, and Mignolet goes the wrong way!

38 mins: England win a corner, and then another one. Meunier is marking Henderson, who gets away from him, and reaches out to put a hand on the Englishman’s shoulder. There’s not a lot of contact there, and Henderson makes the very most of it.

37 mins: Rashford has the ball on the left. He runs forward a bit, stops, shrugs as if to say, “So where are my options here?”, and finally turns and passes backwards, before trudging away, shoulders slumped.
