Declan Rice recalls ‘nerves’ breaking into England team as he prepares to captain country

A late Jude Bellingham goal rescued England from a second consecutive defeat at Wembley as Gareth Southgate’s side salvaged a 2-2 draw against Belgium.

The Three Lions had trailed to a Youri Tielemans brace after Belgium punished two defensive mistakes in the first half - but Bellingham found an equaliser with the last kick of the game after England dominated the second half.

Aston Villa midfielder Tielemans scored twice before half-time, first punishing goalkeeper Jordan Pickford’s woeful clearance, before Romelu Lukaku’s perfect cross set up his second after Lewis Dunk’s slip.

Ivan Toney scored his first England goal from the penalty spot to equalise in the first half, but Bellingham saw two chances go begging while Phil Foden also narrowly shot wide.

And Bellingham’s perseverance was rewarded as the Real Madrid midfielder fired a 95th-minute equaliser. Follow live updates from England vs Belgium in tonight’s live blog, while you can get the latest odds and tips on the match, here:

90+4 mins: Looping corner comes to little and the chance ends as James Maddison gives away a foul.

That should be it.

England 1-2 Belgium

90+1 mins: England trying to work the ball on the edge of the Belgium area, but Jude Bellingham showed too much of the ball and was dispossessed.

This led to a Belgium counter-attack, with the ball eventually falling to the feet of Dodi Lukebakio who blazed over.

That would’ve sealed it.

87 mins: Joe Gomez whips in the ball but it comes to nothing. Ben Chilwell then runs into Thomas Meunier and gets hurt.

Not long for England to find an equaliser.

England 1-2 Belgium

83 mins: A fair few substitutions to note.

Jarred Bowen and Ivan Toney off for England, Anthony Gordon and Ollie Watkins on.

And it’s a triple change for Belgium: Lois Openda, Michy Batshuayi and Wout Faes all come on in place of Orel Mangala, Romelu Lukaku and Zeno Debast.

79 mins: CLOSE! Inches from an equaliser for Phil Foden.

Lovely work from Jarred Bowen to make the opportunity, beating a man before slotting through to Foden in the box, who drags just past the far post.

Won’t get many chances better than that.
