Highlights

90+2'

All over! A 5-0 win for England in Moldova. A job well done by Roy Hodgson's side. Thanks for joining us.

89'

We are into two minutes of time added on.

88'

England look like they are going to declare on five for the night. Keeping the ball again with some ease.

87'

Terry has taken a dull one obviously earlier in the game. Walcott is thwarted as he embarked on a long run from the halfway line.

86'

Terry has decided to call it a night and England are now down to 10 men for these final few minutes.

85'

A 5-0 win is a job well done for England. There will obviously be harder nights than this, but this has been a professional job by Roy Hodgson's side.

84'

England trying to construct a move from the back. Remaining patient in their passing. Walcott finishes off the latest move with a shot straight into the arms of Namasco.

83'

Massive deflection, but might as well take it while they are on offer. Belgium leads Wales 2-0 elsewhere tonight for what it is worth.

82'

GOAL! Baines sees a free-kick deflect off Gatcan before nestling in the net. So fortunate for England, but they all count.

81'

Welbeck felled by Golovatenco as he made a dash into the home half. Free-kick chance for England from 25 yards.

80'

Ten minutes left. England forced to defend another corner by Patras before a shot is collected by Hart from the Patras shot. All very tame.

79'

Moldova have won a corner here. Going to be swept in by Patras, but Lampard does the necessary clearing up work.

78'

Johnson collects out wide, but just overdoes the first touch which forces him to race into a late challenge on Gatcan. Second touch almost like a tackle there.

77'

England have conceded just nine goals in their last 13 matches, keeping eight clean sheets. Would expect this to be number 14.

76'

England assistant coach Gary Neville has been spotted on the touchline making a few hand signals. He could probably still do a job in this type of match.

75'

Eugen Sidorenco has replaced Igor Picusciac for Moldova. Let the good times roll.

74'

Johh Terry down on the deck needing a bit of treatment which is the cue for Moldova to send on another new face.

73'

Moldova chasing shadows in their own home area. Not the sort of goal you like to concede, but has been symbolic of the evening.

72'

GOAL! But England add the fourth as Milner drives home the fourth after clever play between Walcott and Welbeck in the home box.

71'

You get the feeling a Moldova goal would send this crowd into some sort of bedlam.
