YELLOW CARD!
Jayson Molumby (Rep. Of Ireland) is booked.
Ireland showing sings of life. Szmodics lays it off to Molumby but his finish is awful and it goes over. You would have preferred a reverse combination. Two big chances for Ireland in quick succession, neither hit the target
Smodics fires wide, it would have mirrored the Grealish goal
Substitution!
Jason Knight - Matthew Doherty (Rep. Of Ireland).
Substitution!
Jake O'Brien - Séamus Coleman (Rep. Of Ireland).
Coleman went down from a corner. A stretcher has come on for the Everton and Ireland skipper. His toffee teammate Jake O'Brien is ready to come on as is Jason knight
Once again Coleman and Doherty are stretched and Gordon gets to the byline but the latter is back to block

Boos greet the halftime whistle. 0-2 is a result for Ireland
ogbene tears at Mainoo but his cross into the area is absolutely shocking and just about sums it up
Coleman blocks an effort from Kane but there are inquests going on at the back for Ireland
Ireland are lacking pace, power, quality and just about everything so far
Kane bursts through, goes down in the box under a challenge from O'Shea and Gordon follows up but has an effort deflected into the arms of Kelleher.
Ogbene digs out a cross for Idah who glances well wide.
GOAL!
Jack Grealish (England) scores.
Rice with the assist and Grealish celebrates. This could be a long evening now for Ireland. Brilliant following move from England
Great covering by Szmodics who prevented Rice from getting a second, God forbid
Ireland marked a mess of a free kick and it is absolute panic stations. England break and Kelleher makes an outstanding save to deny Kane. Ireland need to calm down here at both ends of the pitch
YELLOW CARD!
Kobbie Mainoo (England) is booked.
Ireland had a real chance to score at the other end but England break Gordon goes through on goal a brilliant save from Kelleher, a brilliant block from Collins to deny Kane but the rebound falls to former Ireland international Rice who slots it into the top corner. Did not celebrate
England getting joy down the sides of Doherty and Coleman. A real problem for Ireland.
Really positive start from Ireland. Very aggressive but they survive a scare as Kane heads over from 10 yards from a Trent Alexander Arnold cross
Robbie Brady corner flicked on and Molumby heads over from close range
Molumby gets the crowd going mental as he squares up to Grealish
Molumby already snapping at ankles
