England v Latvia LIVE: Score and latest updates from World Cup qualifier

England 0-0 Latvia, 33 mins
Another mistake from Saveljevs and Rashford nicks it away from him before haring to the byline again. The Aston Villa winger, on loan from Man Utd, has been England most likely threat so far.
It feels like they’re getting closer to a goal

Rashford twisting and turning, sends Saveljevs sprawling and wins a corner as his cross is well blocked out of play. The corner from Rice is far too close to Zviedris and floats harmlessly into his hands.

NO PENALTY! England 0-0 Latvia, 28 mins
Messy in the area as Zviedris flaps at a cross, fumbles it and then dives desperately forward towards the ball. He doesn’t get it and seems to contact Bowen on the way down, who hits the deck.
VAR checking to see if it’s a penalty. Scrappy but I think it would be soft… More of a coming together than a clear foul for me.
And after an unnecessarily long check, it’s ruled no penalty. Not enough to overturn the on-field decision and on we play.

CHANCE! England 0-0 Latvia, 24 mins
England turning the screw now. Another chance as James gets to the byline and stands up a cross.
Kane has three defenders around him but eases one away from him to find space, has a clean look at the header and powers it over the bar. He would have fancied getting that on target – good work to create space but the finish not his best

SAVE! England 0-0 Latvia, 22 mins
England could be 1-0 up here. They win a corner, it’s nicely whipped in and Bellingham has a great chance with a header but it’s blocked as it goes goalwards. It falls to Konsa who hammers it at goal and Zviedris somehow pushes it over the bar.
Brilliant stop by the Latvia keeper. More or less straight at him but quick reactions to tip it over, because the shot had power from Konsa.
Another Bellingham free header from the subsequent corner but this one is over the bar.

CHANCE! England 0-0 Latvia, 19 mins
Rashford finding a bit of space down the left. He dinks in a cross, it falls to Rogers 10 yards out but his shot is blocked by a desperate defender before Bowen thrashes at the rebound but it flies ride
But then a genuine chance for Latvia at the other end! An awful mix-up between Guehi and Pickford as the defender accidentally nicks it past the Everton keeper as he comes haring out, Latvia striker Gutkovskis gets on the end of it but his shot from a narrow-ish angle is into the side netting.
Surely he won’t get a better look than that? The goal was gaping, even if the angle wasn’t perfect.

Rogers makes another clever run but Bowne’s reverse pass is just blocked.
The West Ham star then ghosts in at the back post to get on the end of a deep Rashford cross but it’s just too far for him to nod back across goal.

Savalnieks runs at James and gets past him before winning a corner. Bowen was helping the Chelsea right-back but seemed to be appealing for a foul.
Rogers heads away the corner but the ref blows for a foul on Konsa anyway.

Rogers jinks through the defence but gets crowded out on the edge of the box, trying to slip in Kane. that sort of go-forward is what Tuchel would have wanted from the Aston Villa man.
England have played basically the whole match in Latvia’s half so far but they’re still looking for the first meaningful breach of the low block and 11 men behind the ball.
Quicker ball movement and Bellingham shots from distance but it’s well blocked

England 0-0 Latvia, 8 mins
James has absolutely laid out Ciganiks as they both competed for a headed ball. Robust challenge – no quarter given.
James will want to prove himself at right-back after injury has limited his England chances in the last couple of years.
Bellingham then gets a bit of space down the left but Jaunzems comes in with a good slide tackle
