  1. FULL-TIME

    England 0-1 Japan

    This wasn't in the script. The final whistle is greeted by some boos from England fans.

  2. England 0-1 Japan

    A 4/10 display by England.

    A deeply frustrating night in their final game on home soil before the World Cup.

    What has Thomas Tuchel learned from this?

    If Japan can play technical, pressing football and cope with the physicality of Scotland and England, then they're in with a good shot to really challenge this year. Especially if you throw in the confidence that wins against England and Brazil bring.

  4. England 0-1 Japan

    Lots of red empty seats are starting to appear around Wembley.

    Meanwhile, 7,500 Japan fans clapping and singing.

    Four additional minutes at the end of the second half.

  5. 'England's best chances have come from set-pieces'

    The best chances England have had in this game have been from set-plays.

    We've been talking about the Premier League's prowess from them and it's come to fruition tonight. They've not created much from open play.

  6. CLOSE!

    England 0-1 Japan

    Now a golden chance for Morgan Rogers about eight yard out but his swinging attempt is wild. That came moments after Lewis Hall forced a decent save.

    Two little, too late?

    It's taken 82 minutes for England to realise they're too small and lightweight in attack. Surely an appropriate line up could have been selected. Maguire has an attempt on goal immediately with his height and strength.

  8. England 0-1 Japan

    England's last game on home soil before the World Cup is about to end in defeat - and no goals.

    Unless...

    Two minutes plus stoppages.

  9. 'Not many people beat Maguire in the air'

    Maguire is so strong in those positions. He didn't even jump for that, just held the guy off.

    Defensively and attacking in those positions he is so valuable. Not many people beat him in the air.

  10. England 0-1 Japan

    Harry Maguire has posed more of a threat in the last four or five minutes he has been on the pitch than Phil Foden and Cole Palmer managed.

  11. England 0-1 Japan

    Lee Dixon

    A real feature of the Japanese defence has been that if one player gets beaten, the next one is behind him sweeping up.

  12. England 0-1 Japan

    Another header by Harry Maguire from a corner...over the bar.

  13. 'Big, strong header by Maguire'

    England 0-1 Japan

    Paul Robinson
    Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live at Wembley

    That's what Harry Maguire brings you. It's cleared off the line. It's a simple corner but Maguire arrives there. Big, strong header and nearly brings England the goal.

  14. CLOSE!

    England 0-1 Japan

    Harry Maguire almost makes an instant impact but his goalbound header is cleared. Maguire's introduction has at least given England a physical presence from set-pieces.

  16. SUBSTITUTION

    England 0-1 Japan

    Marc Guehi hands the armband to Harry Maguire as the Manchester City player is replaced by the Manchester United defender.

  17. England 0-1 Japan

    Off the pitch the England band is giving it everything from the stand.

    On the pitch England's players continue to huff and puff.

    I think the FA have extended Tuchel's contract far too early. Why not wait to see how he performs in a tournament? At the moment my confidence in our chances is not very high.

    How will England fans react at the final whistle?

    Into the final 10 minutes and now Dan Burn is getting ready to come on.

  20. 'Better from England'

    England 0-1 Japan

    Paul Robinson
    Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live at Wembley

    There were a lot of Japanese players in between Marcus Rashford and the goalkeeper.

    It's getting better from England. You can see there's a bit of urgency. There's some jeopardy in it and they have some personal pride not to lose this game.

    England have looked better with Dominic Solanke on the field. They've looked better with a system they're used to. Solanke has been a focal point to take the attention of the defenders away.
