Kick off.

Senegal have started quite well with Boulaye Dia threatening, but Harry Maguire did well to recover and stop the attack.

20:05

England have settled into this game and are now dominating possession. Senegal calm at the back, though

20:11

This is England's first knockout match against an African side since they beat Cameroon 3-2 in the quarter-final of Italia 1990. Senegal will hope for a better account, though

20:21

Penalty shouts for Senegal following a rare chance, but VAR says no.

20:23

This is Senegal's second round of 16 clash in the World Cup after they reached the quarter-final on their debut in 2002.

20:28

First real chance of the game of the game from Senegal as Sarr sets up Dia, but the Salernitana's man shot was brilliantly saved by Jordan Pickford.

20:40

England 1-0 Senegal. Jordan Henderson put England ahead with a neat finish following good work from Jude Bellingham. We may get to see more of that combination at Liverpool.

20:41

It had been all Senegal before then with Sarr causing all sorts of trouble for Walker. But quality will always come to the fore front in knockout games.

20:42

Still a long way to go, though.

20:43

That's Henderoson's second goal in his 73rd cap for England.

You are not too old to score a World Cup goal

20:45

The goal appears to have taken the sting out of Senegal's confidence as they are now firmly on the back foot.

20:46

Two minutes of added time.
