90 minutes: Four minutes to add, and we do. Marcus Rashford side-netts a Luke Shaw cross at the far post.

England has only conceded twice so far, against Iran, but France’s attacking strength will be different.

Saka’s US goal only

Marcus Rashford’s right-wing cross almost misses Harry Kane’s outstretched leg. Think Gazza in 1996, yet England are almost safe.

Kalidou Koulibaly is booked for tackling Harry Kane. Kane writhes; should he be removed to protect him?

Senegal’s Pape Matar Sarr takes a free kick in the 73rd minute, but Jordan Pickford watches it roll wide.

Next Saturday, England plays France.

Jack Grealish and Marcus Rashford are coming on. Jordan Henderson’s knee injury is worrisome.

Fine Save! Boulaye Dia capitalises on a Saka error and shoots left. Pickford parries with his left arm.

Nampalys Mendy and Bakayo Saka argue following Mendy’s midfield foul. They’ll know each other from the Premier League, maybe there’s history?

Pickford is 10 yards outside his area with the ball. England’s defence has been shoddy recently.

Senegal believe John Stones handled the ball before Ismaila Sarr’s shot in the 22nd minute.

England wobbled, but VAR checks were waived off.

Phil Foden corners John Stones, who nods it wide. He’s furious since he should have hit the target.

England has never lost to an African side in the World Cup, dating back to 1986 when Morocco tied them 0-0.

Gareth Southgate says ITV he’s been dealing with Raheem Sterling’s family situation but won’t elaborate. He feels Saka deserved his chance, but concedes he has too many.

“I got a knock in the first game, but I’m almost over it,” Kane said before England’s last-16 meeting. “I feel good. Hope to score tomorrow.”

Senegal has only been in two World Cups, but topping their first will be tough. Aliou Cisse, AFCON champions’ coach, can.
