Holland v England: live score updates

England should have had a penalty when De Ligt slides in to tackle Rashford and trips the striker. The fact that the goalkeeper was also hurtling over to stop him probably confused the referee as to who hit whom first. 

De Vrij sticks the ball past Pickford which cheers the crowd who failed to hear the referee's whistle that penalised Depay for straying out of play. 

Depay and Van Aanholt combine up the Dutch left and the winger stands up a left-foot cross that's a bit too floaty to menace. Maguire heads it clear and England break swiftly, shifting the ball upfield and freeing Rose to skate up the left. Rashford and Oxlade-Chamberlain make near-post runs but Rose again fails to read their runs and sends a cross to the back post, wasting the surge. 

Lingard, who is either wearing gloves or holding his cuffs in Kes schoolboy fashion, whisks a shot at De Vrij from 20 yards that cannons off his shins and rebounds upfield. 

No changes in personnel, Promes drops a little deeper for Holland. 

England have been the better side, passing the ball with precision and purpose and have kept their shape in admirable fashion. They look much more dangerous on the break than when trying to take the attack to Holland which will always be a worry but that's the state of more than 90 per cent of teams these days. Walker has slotted in well on the right of a back three. I'd like to see Rashford on the left and Vardy through the middle when one of the midfielders is taken off later. Holland need more rhythm and a much higher tempo. 

A bad mistake from Rose, hurling the ball into the ground in front of Maguire which means he can't control it properly with his first touch and it squirts to Depay. The former Man Utd winger pushes it ahead of him and tries to catch Pickford by surprise with a right-foot shot from 25 yards that the keeper gathers at the second attempt. That was the last kick of the half.  

Rose loses possession while trying to snake-hips his way past De Ligt. Little urgency from Holland as the half-time oranjes beckon. 

Rose gets his toe to the ball on the left around halfway and De Ligt topples him with a slide that also fortuitously played a magnificent pass up to Depay. The ref whistles late but does eventually bring it back for an England free-kick. 

De Ligt shows his pace when he matches Rashford as he extends his stride to power up the left. As Rashford checked to wait for reinforcements, De Ligt managed to poke it away from him by the 18-yard line. 

Holland are pressing more this past five minutes and are winning the ball back. Twice it's Henderson who has been stripped of the ball but his team-mates bail him out.  

Dost is targeting Walker, standing with the right-sided centre-back who he towers over and encouraging crosses in from the right. By doing so he wins a corner that is fizzed to him at the near post but the 6ft 4in centre-forward rams his header over. 

Zoet has to sprint out of his box to cut off a wonderful pass from Lingard up to Sterling. He gets there maybe a second before the City forward, belts it clear and fells Sterling with his followthrough. England, without the ball, are very much 3-5-2 and keep their shape with impressive discipline. 

Stones, Walker and Maguire are keeping the ball on the ground in the Dutch way and demonstrating how Southgate sees it. It's pretty pure Venables-ism so far. 

England are in control. The half-cut and trollied England fans are giving us a rendition of Three Lions. 

Positive, zippy passing is building a platform for England. Free-kick on the left. Trippier whips in a vicious cross that Henderson glances on at the near post. Rashford is quick out of the blocks to try to get the toe to ot that would convert at the back post but it races beyond him.  

Maguire peels off at the back post to head back across goal from the corner but Holland welly it clear out of the box. 

England's long passing, particularly Stones, Walker and Oxlade-Chamberlain, has been very precise and slick so far but the crossing has been woeful. Sterling wriggles free on the left of the box and batters a shot that's deflected out for a corner. 

Rose with a diligent tracking run from the left to dog Promes' every step prevents him from having the room to meet Strootman's pass and shoot. Pickford also had to be alert to dart out to gobble up the pass. 

Oxlade-Chamberlain intercepts a pass from De Ligt up to Depay with his back to goal and poised to turn and shoot first time. His touch almost plays in Promes but it curls away. 

Henderson makes a blind left-foot pass straight in front of his won box and gives it to  De Ligt who scuds a daisy-cutter of a shot too close to the centre of goal. Pickford falls to his knees to save it to his right. 

Danny Rose gets wreaks his revenge on Hateboer with a late challenge in which he leaves a bit on him. Holland free-kick. 

Tenacious work from Sterling to win the ball on the left and he then bullocks into the box, sells De Ligt with a couple of step-overs and laces a pass to Lingard who drags it left-footed across goal, through Van Aanholt's legs, clipping his calf en route, and out for what should have been a corner but the ref sees wringly as a goalkick. 

Nice, piercing 50-yard diagonal from Walker frees Rose down the left but he doesn't get his head up and wellies in a booming, arcing cross that soars miles over Rashford;s near-post run and out for a throw-in. Glenn Hoddle is in the ITV box. One of the wonders of the age. What TV producers see in him as a co-commentator that is. 

Maguire shoves Promes with a straight arm and could have been penalised after receiving a hospital pass but he gets away with it. 

England pass the ball around the back three to give Maguire a few touches then Stones slips a lovely pass between Strootman and Van Dijk for Oxlade-Chamberlin to gather and try to steer a throughball up to meet Rashford's clever run.  Right idea but he clips it too far ahead which allows Zoet to sprint out and smother it. 

Trippier knocks the ball out so Harry Maguire can come on to replace Gomez on the left side of the back three. 

Gomez limps off for a longer look and Rose slots into a flat back four for now. Oxlade-Chamberlain bends his run in from the right to and bombs behind Van Aanholt to fire a shot straight down Zoet's throat from 20 yards. Gomez's race is run. He hobbles down the tunnel. 

Now Joe Gomez now requires treatment for a sprained ankle after falling awkwardly when challenging Dost for a header. 

Rose takes the corner, an outswinger from the left that is cleared as far as Henderson who chips it back up to Sterling. He stuns the pass with a terrific touch but can't make any room to shoot. 

England corner, won by a rejuvenated Rose down the left to run on to Henderson's long pass. He whips a near-post cross that De Vrij nods behind before Rashford can turn it in. 

Rose gets up after a quick assessment, gives his head a shake and prepares to come back on at the referee's summons when Holland boot it up to Pickford. 

England kick off  and immediately launch the ball up the left. Danny Rose gets a crack on the head when going up for the second header and Rashford darts into the box where he's stopped by De Ligt. The game stops for Rose to have some treatment for Hateboer's shoulder to his temple. 

Should be the actual shirt:

 'We're on our way, we are Ron's 22, hear the roar, of the red white and blue. This time etc'

Is such a rare occurrence I'd forgotten you have to sit through Emmerdale Farm before it starts. Mr Wilks has served a lager to a lady in a straight, not a tulip glass. Bad form. His partner is not impressed:

I don't know quite what to make of the defence. Joe Gomez has remarkable potential as a centre-back and will be Virgil van Dijk's long-term partner at Anfield but I'm surprised, given Southgate's words all week, that it's Kyle Walker and not Eric Dier playing on the right of a back three, something he hasn't done for a whole game before if I remember correctly.

Wonder if Lewis Cook will get on tonight? He's still got five years to win his grandfather £17,000 on the wager he placed when Cook were no'but a lad that he would earn a full cap before his 26th birthday. 

Bas Dost plays not Davy Propper:

Holland Zoet; Van Dijk, De Vrij, De Ligt; Hateboer, Strootman, Wijnaldum, Van Aanholt; Memphis, Dost, Promes.

With Kyle Walker as a centre-back:

No official announcement yet but according to De Telegraaf. The system would warm Johan Cruyff's heart:

Holland Zoet; Van Dijk, De Vrij, De Ligt; Hateboer, Strootman, Wijnaldum, Van Aanholt; Propper, Memphis, Promes.

England haven’t beaten Holland in seven attempts since that inspiriting but ultimately deceptive 4-1 victory at Wembley during Euro 96. Even when Ruud van Nistelrooy and co were failing to qualify for the 2002 World Cup, England could not find the wherewithal to beat them and were outclassed at White Hart Lane in 2001 and needed a Darius Vassell equaliser to extricate themselves from a typical Sven-Goran Eriksson multi-substitute farce in Amsterdam a year later.

The Shearer-Sheringham victory was a rare moment of rapture against the Dutch, a team England have struggled to master since the game went professional in the Netherlands in 1954. It has often proved a chastening experience for the team and their manager.

Even in 1970, Holland's first match at Wembley, neither England's status as world champions nor gratitude for Sir Alf Ramsey could stop the choruses of "what a load of rubbish" and bouts of slow hand-clapping castigating an experimental team's failure to pierce the opposition's defence during a goalless draw.

The old refrain rang out again seven years later, when Don Revie's England were humiliatingly outclassed at Wembley. The magnificent Dutch forward line of Johnny Rep, Johan Cruyff and Rob Rensenbrink mesmerised England's defenders with their intelligent use of space and the 2-0 scoreline flattered the bedraggled home side.

Anyone who saw the 2-2 draw at Wembley in the spring of 1988 would not have been surprised in Dusseldorf three months later when Ruud Gullit set up two of Marco van Basten's three goals in the 3-1 victory at Euro 88 in Germany, only that he did not score himself.

England played better than they had against the Republic of Ireland and fought back determinedly to equalise through Bryan Robson's typically indomitable surge but Gary Lineker, suffering from glandular fever, could not match Van Basten's predatory poise.

It was with the threat posed by Gullit specifically in mind that England finally abandoned the flat back four when the two met at Italia 90, opting for two markers and a very English style of libero, and together they largely kept him in check in a goalless draw.

Orthodoxy returned under Graham Taylor and England paid the price in a 2-2 draw at Wembley during 1993 for Des Walker's loss of confidence following his transfer to Sampdoria. Taylor could justifiably claim he was abandoned by luck in Rotterdam during the return-game qualifier for the 1994 World Cup and he was understandably peeved when the referee failed to send tonight's Holland manager, Ronald Koeman, off. "Linesman? Linesman?" he famously asked. "What sort of thing is happening here?" But Holland could also have demanded to know why Frank Rijkaard's first-half "goal" was disallowed when he was a yard onside.

England failed entirely to nullify Dennis Bergkamp, who ran at will at retreating midfielders and when Brian Moore's premonition of what Koeman would do from his retaken free-kick agonisingly came to pass, it delivered the coup de grâce to Taylor's three years in charge.

A Holland team that failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup and desperately in need of a fillip will not deliver a mortal blow to Gareth Southgate. He is manifestly decent, quietly impressive and the model of a modern coach, even down to the DH  Lawrence beard he is now sporting – cosmopolitan, flexible and cerebral. Yet there are echoes too of Malcolm Allison and Dave Sexton, whose undervalued toughness complemented their sprightly creativity and aptitude for teaching. England are in good hands.
