90 - Still time Three minutes of added time have been signalled, with England still on the attack.

88 - Lots of pressure England are camped in the Croatia half but unable to find the crucial breakthrough.

86 - Bent goes close Bent holds off his defender but his shot flies just over the bar.

84 - Substitution Olic is replaced by highly-rated youngster Rakitic.

82 - End to end England are pouring forward but when they lose possession Croatia are still dangerous on the break.

50 - Caution Da Silva is shown a yellow card for a foul on Richards.

49 - Solid defence Corluka stands strong to deny Cole as the England man attempts a header.

48 - No time for party pieces Crouch tries a bizarre flick and loses possession.

47 - Wake-up call England have made a lively start but Croatia are packing bodies into their own half, determined to secure a famous victory.

Back underway Wright-Phillips and Barry have been withdrawn to make way for Defoe and Beckham, who earns his 99th cap. After that first-half performance it is just a shame McClaren cannot make 11 substitutions.

HALF-TIME The whistle goes on one of the darkest 45 mintes imaginable, and the players are greeted by boos as they leave the pitch. If England are as good in the second half as they were bad in the first half, they may just have a chance.

43 - McClaren planning ahead McClaren is scribbling away in his notepad as he prepares for a crucial half-time team talk.

34 - McClaren means business The England boss has put his brolly away and has a face like thunder.

32 - Caution Robert Kovac is booked for a foul on Wright-Phillips.

28 - Little service Crouch is struggling without a partner up front. Will McClaren decide to act quickly and make a change?

25 - Scrappy England have lost any rhythm they might have had as Kranjcar heads wide for Croatia.

23 - Surface tension The pitch is not looking good out there. Perhaps England's best hope would be an abandonment, or perhaps that is just wishful thinking.

19 - Wasteful Gerrard wins a free-kick in a good position but Barry cannot send his delivery past the first man, and the same goes for the resulting corner.

17 - Stunned The opening 17 minutes could not have gone much worse for England, but McClaren's men are still looking dangerous going forward.

14 - GOAL Olic rounds Carson to make it 2-0 to Croatia, as England's defenders all stop, waiting for an offside decision that never comes.

13 - So close England launch a flowing move down the right but Richards' cross just evades Crouch.

12 - Silence The home fans have gone quiet but there is no need to be despondent - Andorra are still holding Russia 0-0.

8 - GOAL Carson makes a complete howler of Kranjcar's long-range effort and Croatia are 1-0 up.

6 - Cole header Pletikosa makes a routine save from Cole's diving header.

5 - No way through Wright-Phillips is closed down as he attempts to dart into the box.

3 - Keep ball England's back four pass the ball among themselves for 30 seconds or so, with Croatia reluctant to close them down. It might make for a boring spectacle but if it lasts for 90 minutes England fans will be happy.

1 - Pegged back Croatia have made the brighter start, with England looking a little nervous.

Kick-off England get the game underway and it will be interesting to see whether they adopt an attacking or defensive approach.

National anthems If points were awarded for singing in this game England would have already sealed their place in next year's tournament after a rousing rendition of God Save the Queen.

Pitch concerns Slaven Bilic has criticised the state of the Wembley pitch this week and he will be less than pleased when he steps out to see that it is fairly waterlogged. There is no danger of the game being called off but perhaps the players should consider ditching their normal kits and donning wetsuits instead.

Croatia Croatia: Pletikosa, Corluka, Simic, Robert Kovac, Simunic, Srna, Modric, Nico Kovac, Kranjcar, Olic, Eduardo. Subs: Runje, Rakitic, Babic, Knezevic, Leko, Petric, Pranjic.

England Carson, Richards, Campbell, Lescott, Bridge, Wright-Phillips, Gerrard, Barry, Lampard, Joe Cole, Crouch. Subs: James, Ashley Cole, Brown, Hargreaves, Defoe, Beckham, Bent.

Team news England's starting XI is as expected, after McClaren made the groundbreaking decision to select players on form rather than reputation. Shaun Wright-Phillips is preferred to David Beckham in a five-man midfield also including Gareth Barry, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Joe Cole, while Peter Crouch is the lone striker. But on a night when a clean sheet would do the trick, England's defensive line has an unfamiliar look to it, with Micah Richards, Joleon Lescott, Sol Campbell and Wayne Bridge shielding goalkeeper Scott Carson. Croatia have named their strongest available side, with Premier League trio Vedran Corluka, Niko Kranjcar and Eduardo da Silva all involved.

Welcome to skysports.com's minute-by-minute commentary of England's Euro 2008 qualifier against Croatia. Steve McClaren's men only need a point to book their place in next summer's tournament and Croatia are already guaranteed to finish in the top two in Group E. If England lose they will be praying that Andorra can avoid defeat to Russia.
