Into added time. How much? Hey, Official, how much? Here comes the board... 5 minutes. Five minutes.

No, it's 6 minutes. 6. Nearly two of those has already passed. Eze's corner, punched away by Dubruvka. Nothing doing.

3 minutes left. Slovakia having just as much possession as England. You wouldn't think so, but it is so.

Shcranz the goalscorer goes off. Ivan Toney comes on for Foden. He's got two or three minutes to collect the ball let alone score with it.

GOAL
It's there, it's one-all. it's all square with 2 minutes to go!
Bellingham. Bellingham. He's come good. He's rescued the sinking ship with a spectacular overhead kick. From the corner, an immaculately executed overhead kick. It was outrageous.

It's going to be Extra Time. Bellingham's remarkable pot has left the Slovakians stunned.
What to say? The pundits were screaming for Bellingham's removal at half time and then the boy goes and pulls a stunt like that.

GOAL
Less than a minute into Extra Time, Kane fires in a close range header for 2-1. You can't believe this. You can't get your head around it. But Kane got his around the ball alright. Assist Toney, wasn't it?

Now then. Now then. We're here again. Taken a lead. A crucial lead. A lead that must be kept. We all know the usual modus operandi is at this point. Will they chance it and press for another? Will they successfully defend the lead even if it must mean sitting back? Here we go.

Eze makes a vital intervention on Pekarek who is just feet from dinking in the cross in the 6 yard box. A real chance for Slovakia.
The ref blows up. England 15 minutes from a meeting with Switzerland when Slovenia had been just 5 from it.

Southgate does his rounds of the assembled players during the brief break. Kane and Bellingham off. Gallagher and Konsa on, I think.
A word about Southgate as he calmly paces the players' circle there. He knows he's got away with it massively here. It's not over yet. Oh no lawdy, it's not over yet, though.
The second period of 15 minutes gets underway.

It's all over. England, dodging a bullet for 91 minutes before turning on their own Gunfight at the Not So OK Corral, progress in astonishing fashion to the quarter-finals. There will be debate about whether they even deserved to reach extra time but they did. It's Switzerland v England in the second quarter-final.
That is all this evening from the Arena AufSchalke.

Unbelievable finish to this one. After a listless performance where it appeared they were playing not to lose, they wake up in stoppage time and extra time with a pair of incredible goals from their stars. They can't hope to advance with the kind of effort put forth through most of this game, but this result is worth celebrating today.

Bellingham and Kane pull off a miracle. Good on 'em.
