42' GOAL MEXICO!
By Simon Smale
THE AZTECA ERUPTS!
42' England gives away a free kick on the edge of the penalty area
By Simon Smale
Saka is furious.
Looked like the Mexico player went down very easily.
38' ENGLAND HAS ANOTHER!
By Simon Smale
England flood forward after Mexico cough up possession again in midfield.
Jude Bellingham plays the ball forward to Harry Kane, who is going away from goal on the angle, so cuts the ball back inside to the penalty area, where Bellingham continues his run and slides home.
What a double strike for England.
The crowd has entered into a stunned silence.
There were 99 seconds between the goals.
37' GOAL ENGLAND!
By Simon Smale
Jude Bellingham with the diving header at the back post and Mexico concedes for the first time at this World Cup!
Declan Rice drives forward down the right, feeds Saka, who crosses deep to Bellingham, who times his run perfectly.
36' Long ball again for Mexico
By Simon Smale
Raúl Jiménez tries to latch onto a long ball but Pickford is there to gather.
That's a great ball and Jiménez was very close to getting on the end of that.
35' Mexico having all the possession
By Simon Smale
Another spell of possession.
Another deep cross from the Mexico left side that goes well over all its intended targets.
There's a lot of time for the Mexican players with the ball and they are playing very well at the moment, building pressure, pressure that is amplified by this passionate crowd.
32' Chance Mexico
By Simon Smale
Mexico control the ball well for a patch of time there, moving the ball and moving England with it.
Luis Romo sees the chance open up for himself but the ball flies over the bar. A long way over the bar.
29' Érik Lira gets another talking to
By Simon Smale
It's for his overt reaction to a decision again.
I wonder how many more he'll get before Faghani loses patience?
28' Scrappy in midfield
By Simon Smale
Jude Bellingham does really well to win the ball off the foot of the Mexican midfield, but then runs straight into a tackle from Jorge Sánchez, trying to do too much himself.
Sánchez looks to spring a trap with a through ball but gets his wires crossed and passes out for a goal kick.
26' Chance England
By Simon Smale
Anthony Gordon gets onto the end of a really good long ball from Pickford.
Gordon keeps it in — just — and then cuts inside and shoots from an acute angle.
He's never going to beat Rangel from there, though, and he rather scuffs his shot.
23' Referee Faghani stops an England attack
By Simon Smale
Elliot Anderson makes a tackle and directs the ball towards Harry Kane, the ball hitting referee Faghani.
England are upset that he was in the way.
He decides its as good a time as any for the TV timeout.
20' England wins a corner
By Simon Smale
Anthony Gordon beats Jorge Sánchez down the outside and gets a cross in from the byline.
It hit the hand of the defender as he slid but there's never a penalty shout there as he was sliding and using his arm as support.
The corner comes in and is headed away.
19' England free kick
By Simon Smale
Jude Bellingham is fouled by César Montes, who reacts furiously.
Alireza Faghani needs to be stronger there. He chases the Mexican centre back to warn him, but it should have been a yellow card.
16' England defend the corner
By Simon Smale
Mexico has a couple of corners, the first palmed behind by Jordan Pickford, the second a massive header from Harry Kane.
15' GREAT SAVE PICKFORD!
By Simon Smale
Raúl Jiménez with a brilliant header that flies towards the England goal, bouncing just in front of a diving Pickford.
The ball comes down and bounces up, Pickford fending it away brilliantly.
That is some save.
Jiménez scored in his first five games in the Premier League when facing Pickford, but there was no way through there.
14' England's turn for a long ball
By Simon Smale
England try it now, Saka goes across field and latches onto a well delivered ball over the top.
He just can't get it under his control though and it's gathered by Raúl Rangel.
13' Long ball for Romo is cut off
By Simon Smale
Raúl Jiménez drops deep and delivers a long ball over the top towards the on-rushing Luis Romo.
It's too heavy though and Jordan Pickford gathers.
A long stretch
By Simon Smale
Morning Simon. I have a dream that Mexico go on to play the US at some point and beat them soundly. Sadly this requires England to bow out today and for this I apologise sincerely to all their fans.

It would mean both teams have to reach the final, too.
Or the third-place play-off.
Open Questions
- What will be the final score?
- Will there be further controversial referee decisions?
