Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice and set up another to help Portugal thrash 10-man Bosnia 6-2 in Lisbon and book their place in Poland and Ukraine next year.

Nani chipped in with a 25-yard effort, ex-Spurs striker Helder Postiga also scored twice and Miguel Veloso got another for the home side to wrap up victory.

Bosnia fought back to 3-2 down with 25 minutes to go but were undone by midfielder Senad Lulic's red card.
