England vs Spain LIVE: Latest score and updates from Nations League as Three Lions lead but Kane misses penalty

55’ – Kane kicked the ball twice when slipping so Spain restart with a free out.

It remains 2-1. Kane slips as he plants his left foot before striking the ball with his right and the effort crashes off the bar.

And Davide Massa is satisfied enough from his viewing to point to the spot.

The Real Madrid midfielder gets one over on the Barcelona rival who could easily have become his team-mate this summer.

Kane will take it once Spain’s protests have settled down.

51’ – And now Bellingham wants a penalty after going down under pressure from Rodri. There is clear contact but the England midfielder is certainly looking for it too. VAR is sending the referee towards the monitor.

49’ – England are dominating now. Quansah has sent a header over the bar after Spain make a mess out of an offside trap, then Saka ventures into a dangerous position and brings a save from Simon. He’s taken down and VAR takes a look but play continues.

47’ – England have started the half well, producing wave after wave of attack until Cubarsi reacts hastily to stop O’Reilly. A moment later Lewis-Skelly wins a corner off Cubarsi after getting in front of Ruiz.

And we’re back underway. The posh seats at Wembley remain empty despite such a good game.

Spain’s unbeaten run is 38 games.

It’s only half-time but England appear to have found the recipe to get to the world champions: pace, directness and – after the sloppy start – no dawdling in defence.

What a delightful half of football. Time to catch our breath.
