90'
There'll be just the one further minute of this. The England fans have started singing God Save The Queen.
88'
San Marino have had a rough time all game, although going down to 10 men following Rossi's dismissal hasn't helped them. They must be glad this stuffing will soon be over.
86'
England are finally taking a modicum of pity on their hapless opponents. They've started playing with slightly less urgency. Southgate's men have undoubtedly made their point.
84'
Nanni goes down with cramp after a collision with Coady. Mings straightens the San Marino forward's leg to help him out.
82'
Abraham has the ball in the net again as he holds off Conti to nod home from the centre of the box. Abraham's deemed to have used excessive force, so the goal's chalked off right away. It doesn't stop the England man asking for a VAR check. He won't get it.

J. Stones enters the game and replaces E. Smith Rowe.
T. Abraham gets yellow.
Smith Rowe heads off with a goal and an assist. It's been a successful first start for England for him. Stones replaces him.
To rub salt into the wound, Abraham is booked for harming Lunadei. It was admittedly clumsy by Abraham but by no means malicious. That seems a very harsh decision.
69'
T. Mings has scored a goal for England! Assist by T. Alexander-Arnold.
San Marino were foolish to give England a free-kick when they've got a set-piece specialist like Alexander-Arnold on the pitch. Even for the hosts, this is getting ignominious.

58'

57'
Kane fires wide from outside the box. The England captain isn't prepared to settle for just the four goals.

39'
Penalty goal scored by H. Kane for England!
GOAL! SAN MARINO 0-5 ENGLAND! Kane's second penalty is even more convincing than his first as he blasts the ball unerringly into the top left corner. You have to feel for San Marino. Life never gets any easier for them.

Smith Rowe will be delighted to have got an assist for England here, even against such limited opposition. He can't have hoped for a gentler first game to start for his country.

6'
H. Maguire has scored a goal for England! Assist by P. Foden.
Foden's corner was highly inviting and Maguire had an easy job of meeting it. The Manchester United man's celebration is more diplomatic than the one he made when he scored against Albania a few days ago.
GOAL! SAN MARINO 0-1 ENGLAND! That didn't take long! Foden whips in a delightful corner. Maguire gets on the end of it in the centre of the box to power a header past Benedettini into the bottom right corner.

And we're off!
Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of this 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification UEFA Group I match between San Marino and England at Stadio Olimpico di Serravalle.
After all but securing their World Cup qualification with a comfortable 5-0 victory over Albania at Wembley last week, Group I leaders England can seal the deal and start booking their trip to Qatar next year if they can avoid defeat here to lowly San Marino.
Of course, England should expect far more than a nervy draw against the Sammarinese, who they defeated comfortably at Wembley earlier this year and who have lost their last 35 qualifying matches, conceding a whopping 163 goals in the process. Gareth Southgate's men should be able to hold off their nearest challengers Poland and make it to the Middle East in style.
SUBS: Alessandro Golinucci, Andrea Grandoni, Luca Censoni, Eugenio Marconi, David Tomassini, Giacomo Conti, Michael Battistini, Tommaso Zafferani, Simone Benedettini, Matteo Vitaioli, Luca Ceccaroli, Kevin Zonzini.
SAN MARINO (3-5-2): Elia Benedettini; Manuel Battistini (c), Filippo Fabbri, Dante Rossi; Fabio Tomassini, Lorenzo Lunadei, Enrico Golinucci, Marcello Mularoni, Alessandro D'Addario; Nicola Nanni, Adolfo Hirsch.
ENGLAND (3-4-3): Aaron Ramsdale; Conor Coady, Harry Maguire, Tyrone Mings; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jude Bellingham, Kalvin Phillips, Bukayo Saka; Phil Foden, Harry Kane (c), Emile Smith Rowe.
SUBS: John Stones, Sam Johnstone, Conor Gallagher, Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Tammy Abraham, Kyle Walker, Jordan Pickford.
The two teams come out onto a misty pitch in San Marino and stand for their respective national anthems. San Marino will play in an unusual Roma-esque orange and red kit to celebrate the San Marino Football Federation's 90th anniversary. England are in all-white.
England have romped to next year's World Cup, then, while poor old San Marino have suffered another soul-destroying defeat. Let's hope 2022 is kind to both of them. That's all for now. Goodbye!
