England v Croatia

The full-time whistle goes, and England are off to a flyer in Group L with a well-earned 4-2 victory over Croatia. The first half wasn't perfect, as they were twice pegged back despite two goals from captain Kane. The Bayern Munich ace opened the scoring from the penalty spot – on the second attempt after encroachment – only for Baturina to smash home the leveller. Kane headed England back in front, but Musa guided in the equaliser right on the stroke of half-time. But, after the break, England were absolutely superb, and Bellingham restored the lead with a drilled effort shortly after the restart. There were plenty of chances for England, whose xG of 2.8 was unsurprisingly superior to Croatia's 0.71, to extend the lead, and a fourth goal finally arrived in the 85th minute when Rashford rolled home after being picked out by Saka. On paper, this looked like England's toughest group-stage fixture, and Tuchel will be delighted they head into next Tuesday's clash against Ghana in Boston with three important points on the board. Croatia will look to rebound when they face off against Panama in Toronto. Thanks for joining us for a barnstorming clash, folks. Until next time!

FULL-TIME: ENGLAND 4-2 CROATIA

GREAT BLOCK! Croatia win a corner, which Perisic takes deep. The ball falls for Gvardiol, but Kane throws himself in front of the effort brilliantly. England then have a chance to break with Saka and Rashford, but this time they can't quite make it count.

Pasalic crosses from the right, but James makes a good defensive header to ease the danger.

There will be six minutes of additional time to play here in Dallas.

We're closing in on the final stages of what has been a barnstorming fixture. Can Croatia make things nervy? Or will England just see this out now?
