90+3
That's the final whistle, England go top of Group H after a 4-1 win. They still have to beat Poland next week though - if they play like this, they should.
90+2
GOAL ENGLAND! Sturridge makes it 4-1 from the spot in stoppage time, rolling it down the middle.
90+1
PENALTY ENGLAND! Reckless from Kecojevic on Sturridge.
90'
Three added minutes being played as the brass bands find their, um, voice.
88'
Germany are through, by the way, after beating Ireland with room to spare.
87'
Good defending by Walker as he closes down the wide-man to clear.
86'
ENGLAND SUB: Gerrard is replaced by Milner.
84'
Sturridge offside as he races through. Just, close.
83'
This result will mean England must beat Poland to qualify - if they play like this, they should.
81'
MONTENEGRO SUB: Kasalica on for Montenegro and Jovetic is off.
80'
ENGLAND SUB: A standing ovation for a grinning Townsend as Hodgson allows him to milk his moment. Wilshere comes on in his place. Smokin'.
79'
Vindicated. What a performance from Townsend, and arguably his finest work in his career with that goal, running from just inside the Montenegro half before hammering a vicious drive from outside the box. Chapeau.
78'
GOAL ENGLAND AND WHAT A GOAL! ANDROS TOWNSEND CRACKS IT IN FROM 25 YARDS!
77'
England, to their credit, are hunting for a third as opposed to sitting back.
76'
Rooney now with a long-range effort but again easy for Poleksic.
75'
England deal with a Montenegro free-kick. Can they hold their nerves?
74'
Welbeck tries a lob but too close to the keeper. Needs to do better than that to beat this guy!
73'
Odd goal, he was moving towards Hart in case the shot was parried but it hit his boot and went in! Vuckevic on for Volkov now.
72'
GOAL MONTENEGRO! A bit of a fluke, as Damjanovic sticks a foot out and diverts a shot from Beciraj! 2-1!
71'
Townsend on the right now, a super low cross for Welbeck but just beyond him and clear! England surely will get a third?
