Is that our very own Mr Blobby?

Playing not to lose? Two shots on target forcing saves in the first 12 minutes against a side with 11 men behind the ball.
Not all games are exciting, but that's football. It's good experience for the younger players.

Danny Mills on 5Live having big problems with the pitch, it seems there are " Bobbles", "Mini Bobbles" and "Micro Bobbles " and this is affecting his ability to say anything constructive....

After trying a number of long shots one finally comes off, great goal.

I am not up to speed - but that isn't grass is it ?

I've just switched on and was wondering the same. It looks too immaculate to be grass.

Weird how you can't have artificial pitches in the Premier League or Football League, but they're OK for international football. Not sure what this one is in Vilnius, but I think Andorra played Gareth Bale on one earlier in the campaign, and Holland played somewhere (Kazakhstan maybe?) this week on the same.

3G pitch, it turns out. The reason Gary Cahill isn't playing.

Did my eyes deceive me or did it hit the post, bounce on to the keeper's back, then go in? Hence my query re the own goal.

Not 100% sure as they haven't shown many replays.

Good point. It is Monday isn't it ? I may have a look at what Victoria Coren is wearing before I make any long term commitment to this match.

I played on the pitch at Brighton Rugby Club - but I can't remember whether it grazes when you fall over.

It can't I suppose - otherwise I would remember.

100% yes. Kane has been much better tonight.

on a side note, not the nicest bunch of England fans there tonight, lots of burberry, bit of 'no surrender' and smatterings of gstq. Not that there's owt wrong with singing the national anthem but.....
