Evening all! How will England make a mess this time? Let's find out! Exciting!

Lobotka, incidentally, is playing very nicely in general.

Oxlade-Chamberlain wins the ball on halfway and stretches clear. He's got loads of options, but as he nears the box he decides to open his body and bend one several yards over and many ages wide.

My system crashed again but while I was gone: England are improving. Henderson slides a lovely little pass through for Rashford, who opts to pull back his cross. Alli's eventuating shot is deflected behind for a corner which comes to nothing.

Kane gets a fortunate rebound off Hubocan and turns Durika. He's 20 yards out and has a variety of men in support, but opts to use them as decoys, screwing a shit which is deflected behind. The corner eventually arrives at his feet, but his back is to goal and he does well to arrange another another corner, which comes to nothing.

Slovakia are so much more mobile in midfield, which is strange, as you'd expect England's lumbering parking cones to be controlling this area of the pitch.

There is basically no action to describe. England spread the play wide to Alli, loitering on the left. He is quickly tackled.

Also in this group, Scotland are ahead against Malta thanks to Christophe Berra.

It's still mainly, if not all, Slovakia. They're prompting nicely, while England just can't get hold of the ball.

Looking at the goal again, Lobotica took it very well indeed, but Hart's effort to stop it did not look exactly rabid.

The question now is do Slovakia keep at it or sit back; remember how difficult England found it to not break them down last summer.

Incidentally, what is Rashford doing on the right wing? Anyway, he immediately tries to make amends, finding space outside the box and shooting low, but too close to the keeper.

Consider the cat pigeoned.

GOAL! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! England 0-1 Slovakia (Lobotka) Rashford gets possession maybe 25 yards from his own goal and megs Hubocan. What a player! But Lobotka then robs him, nips a pass into Nemec, controls the beautiful chipped return beautifully, and confidently plants a finish past Hart. That's that fast start Glenn was telling us about.

Lovely from Weiss, flicking off his heels and on the turn, through the legs of Bertrand, who of course pulls him down. Nothing comes of the free-kick.

Durica finds Hamsik at inside-left and he slides out for Mak, but Walker chases back like billy-o and averts potential danger.

"There's a real edge to this game," says Glenn Hoddle; er it's been going four seconds. "I think England will make a fast start." Ah, it's like that is it.

We're off!
