Full-time: It's all over! England continue their unbeaten run in 2020 to move top of League A Group Two in the Nations League!
90'+3
England have almost everyone back as they try to protect what would be an invaluable lead over the side ranked the world's number one...

FOUR minutes will be added on - can England hold on?

Miss! And now Rashford spurns a gilt-edged opportunity! Rice drives down the left and centres it for the United forward. But he flashes his shot over the top of the bar!

Close! Mount wins a corner for the hosts and Kane misses the chance to seal the deal for England! He's left unmarked and from six yards he glances his header well wide!
81'
Belgium are throwing caution to the wind and with De Bruyne off the pitch, it's the energetic Carrasco who is asking questions of the England defence. He wins a corner, which he takes himself, but the delivery is catching practice for Pickford.

England sub: Reece James come on for Alexander-Arnold, which is a rather strange switch.

Walker is caught sleeping as Lukaku runs onto Meunier's pass. The England defender does well to recover, though, blocking the shot and Belgium only have a corner to show for their effort.

Belgium sub: And that will be De Bruyne's last contribution as he is replaced by Yari Verschaeren.

Chance! De Bruyne unlocks England's defence with a ridiculous pass with the outside of his boot to find Carrasco. But with just goalkeeper to beat, he clips the ball wide!
70'
A lapse of concentration in the England box as Castagne runs through without much bother. But the hosts manage to scramble it clear.
68'
Catagne delivers a dangerous cross and Trippier makes a desperate header to prevent a Belgium equaliser.

Double England sub: Henderson and Calvert-Lewin make way for Kane and Phillips.

GOAL! England 2-1 Belgium (Mount): Mount pops on the left side of the penalty area and latches onto Trippier's header. He creates the space for a shot and it deflects off Alderweireld as it loops up into the top right corner. England are ahead!
63'
Kane is also preparing to come on for the hosts.
62'
Kalvin Phillips is warming up for England. As if England need another defensive midfielder!
61'
The ball falls kindly for Calvert-Lewin inside the box. He controls on his chest but mishits his shot and it's a comfortable save for Mignolet.
60'
England are getting much tighter to Lukaku since the restart and Rice - already on a yellow card - wins the ball from the Inter forward with a fantastic tackle.
