Form guide…
England: DLWWDW
Spain: LWWDWW
50 mins: And that should have been three! Walcott played in by Vardy but a great save from Reina denies him. Henderson's follow up is inches wide.
54 mins: Aspas should have got one back for Spain there but he can't control his lunge and it goes over from four yards.
A moment to remember for Ander Herrera here as he makes his first appearance for his country. He replaces Thiago.
57 mins: A Mexican wave goes around the stadium here now. I wonder if these will be allowed in the MLS with Trump as President...?
62 mins: Chance for England as Lingard rounds Reina, but the angle is too tight and it's easily cleared off the line.
Isco and Morata are coming on for Silva and Aduriz for the visitors.
64 mins: Sterling - who has been magnificent - is replaced by Andros Townsend.
In addition to the earlier Mannequin challenge and Mexican Wave, we're now being treated to an Icelandic Clap. All very nostalgic.
66 mins: 83,716 is the official attendance here tonight and they are about to see Marcus Rashford come on for Jamie Vardy, who has also been brilliant.
70 mins: A couple of chances for Spain there. The first a bit of a goal-mouth scramble, the second, a low shot well dealt with by Heaton from Morata.
74 mins: England toy with Spain down the left and they don't like it. Rose and Henderson link beautifully and Carvajal is having none of it, cutting the Tottenham man in half. Yellow card.
79 mins: Aaron Cresswell has come on for his England debut for Danny Rose, with England seeing out the last 10 minutes fairly well so far.
