It's been a frustrating night for Italy up to this point but there are signs they are upping the tempo and giving England more to worry about.

64'
Stones meets the left-wing corner but doesn't make a clean connection and Donnarumma flicks it over the bar.
63'
Respite for England as Mount hustles well to earn a corner on the left. The defence definitely needs a breather but a second goal from a set piece would be a great way to make the most of it...
62'
SUPER SAVE! Chiesa lets fly from 20 yards but can't find a way past Pickford who flings himself low to his left to get a big hand on the ball.

60'
Italy are beginning to pose more problems for England now. Maguire, Stones, Walker and co are looking less assured now. Southgate's men really need to try and get on the ball more.
59'
A second faster!
58'
SAVE! Insigne takes a pass from Chiesa on the run inside the England box. He engineers space for the shot close to the byline but sees it well blocked by Pickford. Rice then completes the clearance but that was a warning sign for England.
57'
Maguire rises early to meet Shaw's left-wing delivery from the resulting free kick but loops his header way over the bar.
56'
Bonucci booked for a rash tackle on Sterling out on the left wing.

VIDEO: Insigne fires a free kick in a good position wide of target.
53'
Insigne finds space down the left. He jinks at his marker, shifts it on to his right side but doesn't find the curl and his shot flies well off target.

51'
Insigne curves a good few yards wide with what is ultimately a disappointing free kick. Wembley heaves a collective sigh of relief.
51'
Insigne collects the ball just outside the England area. Sterling sees the danger but is rash with his challenge. Free kick to the Italians in a central area 22 yards out.
50'
49'
Sterling races through the gears and drives into the area from the left before hitting the deck. England players turn to the referee, who is not interested. No spot kick.
48'
Barella booked for hacking down Kane.
