A win for the Three Lions tonight will mean qualification and will leave the Italians in a very sticky place in qualifying. So, cue the Michael Caine clips and let's get the Italian Job done. Come on, England!

Early yellow for the Yorkshire Pirlo. He seems a bit desperate to make an impression.
Classic sucker punch goal for Italy through West Ham's Scammacca. Really disappointing.
VAR check now for a penalty as DeLorenzo uproots Bellingham as he bursts through.
Is it a pen and Kane will take!
Nice and easy from Harry and England are back in it. 1-1!
Nasty clash of heads between Bellingham and Scalvini there. Both down for treatment now.
Oh - Rashford with an excellent sharp shot on goal - good save by Donnaruma.
England go in 1-1 at half-time and will feel a bit hard done by. They've been absolutely dominant but were pegged back by one attack.
Second half starting up now - I want to see the boys kill Italy off. With Ukraine currently beating Malta, Italy are in real trouble if they drop this one.
Could easily have been a pen there. Ref waved it on.
