A rare England attack in this second period. Mount drives to the left byline and fizzes a cut back towards Saka, but it's close to the Arsenal man's midriff and he can't adjust to make anything of it.
83'
England are finally allowed to play on. Chiesa wants to come back on to boos from the crowd.
82'
Mancini appears much calmer on the touchline now, illustrating just how dominant Italy are.
81'
Play halted as Chiesa receives treatment. England's players are using the time to discuss a few issues. Ball retention will be top of that list of topics.

England are slow to every 50-50 at the moment. Italy are swarming around them picking pockets and eager to get the ball forward and join the attack.

It's all hands to the pump for England out there. Italy are attacking at speed and causing plenty of concern at the back. It's in stark contrast to the first period where the Three Lions were so assured.

That goal had been on the cards but it's fair to suggest you wouldn't expect England to ship a goal from a set piece.
67'
GOAL! Bonucci gobbles up the rebound after PIckford had made a fine save to keep out Verratti's header. It all came after England failed to deal with a flick-on from a right-wing corner.
