[England](https://www.theguardian.com/football/england) back. [England](https://www.theguardian.com/football/england) out on the left touchline. [England](https://www.theguardian.com/football/england) immediately counter through Sterling, who dribbles down the inside-left channel and draws a cynical foul from Bonucci. [England](https://www.theguardian.com/football/england) travelling support at the end of the match. [England](https://www.theguardian.com/football/england) man falls on his back. 59 min: Bellingham romps down the middle and sprays a pass wide left for Foden, who tries to find Kane at the far stick. Sterling hopes to get on the end of it by the left-hand post, but Toloi flicks out for a corner, just in time. England claim a foul – it was right on the edge of the penalty box – but both referee and VAR rule it a 50-50 accident. As things stand, England will be relegated from the top tier. 83 min: Bellingham makes a bit of space down the inside-left channel, his twists and turns earning himself the right to shoot. The Italian takes up possession again and slips a pass down the left for Dimarco, who creams a shot across Pope and off the base of the right-hand post. 88 min: Di Lorenzo sashays in from the right and rolls across for Cristante, in acres on the edge of the D.

Join us for all the build-up and action as it happens from the Nations League clash between Italy and England. Whoever finishes bottom is relegated to Nations League B, so the final two rounds are going to be decisive. This is a very balanced group, with Hungary leading on six points, Germany five, Italy four and then England on two.

Mancini opts for Raspadori up top with Scamacca, two young forwards looking to make their mark, while Bonucci represents the old guard. Atalanta central ...

In four games, that Kane goal from the spot is the only one England have managed. The stage for this evening's match is San Siro and kick off is at 2:45 p.m. EDT/ 11:45 a.m PDT for viewers in the United States, or 7:45 p.m (BST) in the UK and 8:45 p.m. Barella is not happy with Declan Rice as he piles into a challenge but the ref decides to keep his cards close to his chest. England carve out a chance through Foden and Bellingham, who work the ball to Kane. That will probably be a free kick for England right on the edge of the area. Free kick to England a fair way out. Saka was very slow to get back there from the left wing back position and Italy will no doubt have spotted it. What a double save from the keeper, first to deny Rice and then Kane on the second attempt. A wonderful goal from the 22-year-old, his fourth for his country on his 14th cap. James fails to beat the first man though and Donnarumma gathers the loose ball. Italy carve out a 1-0 win to keep their finals hopes alive but England are consigned to the second tier of the Nations League.
