00:00I don't believe in friendlies, we don't do them, we are here to win. Craig Bellamy was never shy
00:11about coming forward as a player and he promises his team won't be tonight.
00:20What changes that he has made from that Serbia game are all enforced. Here's Gordon.
00:25Zaka is back in the England line-up onto Rodgers, good little turn, makes himself some space, tries
00:33to set it back for Gordon, still going England here, it's a great early chance for Anthony
00:38Gordon. Yeah, it's a good save. Gordon gets his foot on it, there's not too much about it. This is a good
00:45little run from Rodgers, he's so good at driving with the ball but making runs into most of the areas
00:50just sets up. Gordon gets a little bit of a look with the first touch on his foot.
00:55And Bryce trying to search out Stokes. Gayle's kept that alive and he's Rodgers, an England
01:02league. Smart play from Mark Gayle, top finish from Morgan
01:07Rodgers. His first goal of the season is an England goal and that's what it means for Thomas Tuchel.
01:14Well thank you very much Mark Gayle. He's alive, picks up the loose ball. His first ball is going to get it into the box. Stokes who just tries to put the ball in and he just picks the pocket of the goalkeeper. It's a great little ball back and that finish is brilliant, really is brilliant.
01:36Brilliant, really is brilliant. There's the little look. I don't know if he is running with the ball, Rodgers, but that's not a bad finish is it? What a start for England.
01:48Well his goal scoring record means that many people think he's had a slow start to the season but he's had a fast start to this match. Two minutes and eleven seconds on the clock.
02:00That's at Stokes and Gayle all up at the back, which is in there as well, it's a guard by Watkins to the nearest post. Anderson gets it back to Weiss.
02:14Backed by Ben Davies, second to return it with interest. It's a good ball which comes down for Rodgers, he's back in again and it's easy. It's attacking for Watkins.
02:25His first England start since Greece last year. And his first England goal since the same match. And England are flexing their muscles in the first 15 minutes of this game.
02:42Well it's about taking your chance if you get one. Harry Kane doesn't miss that many games. This is exactly what you want if you're a centre forward. Far post tapping.
02:52They're getting each other's way at the far post. Nice and Rodgers but he just waits, he's just patient. But it comes across about half a chance, he's got more than that.
03:02The Wales defence is all over the place. Two free players at the far post one side and then when it comes over to the other far post, Watkins says thank you very much.
03:10But he doesn't get many more similar chances than that. He had a really tough start to the season goal scoring wise with Aston Villa. Scored a really good goal against Fulham and I think he was impressed.
03:22Nice.
03:26Confidence swagger about that play.
03:29Now Gordon.
03:32Spence wants a play down the left. Gordon keeps hold of it. This is Elliot Anderson for England.
03:37Running into a red wall.
03:40Konza. Saka.
03:43England converting bodies forwards. Saka with a chance.
03:46That one just made the best of the bunch.
03:52Thomas Tugel's team might be missing one or two of the best superstars tonight.
03:56But they're certainly finding their rhythm.
04:00Absolutely.
04:02World class finish.
04:06Gordon sets it up.
04:07Jinky little one.
04:09Five players around him.
04:11And he lost the ball and passed the ball there.
04:13Dragging the Welsh defence over to the right.
04:16And then Saka.
04:17Onto that favoured left foot.
04:19Cannot give him a yard in the box because he can do this to you.
04:22There's the yard.
04:23The little touch just takes it a little bit further away from the defender.
04:27He can't get his leg up.
04:29To block it.
04:30Blocks.
04:31And the keeper's absolutely no chance.
04:33Could have died last Thursday.
04:34He still wouldn't have saved that.
04:38Having fun Thomas.
04:42Saka is back.
04:43Rodgers.
04:44Anderson.
04:45Walking far close.
04:46How has that not ended up in the back of the net?
04:47He's hurt himself as well, which is a real worry.
04:49He's okay.
04:50This is what happened.
04:51Really important cross.
04:52Just see.
04:53It's that top of his shin.
04:54Hopefully his shin pads took.
04:55The brunt of that.
04:56You know how small these shin pads are these days.
04:57Saka of China.
04:58An ambitious ball of contact.
04:59He's got a forward inside run.
05:00That's a mistake.
05:01By Cullen.
05:02Has now dipped.
05:03Rashford is free inside the 18 yard box.
05:05A forward inside run.
05:10Rodham did well.
05:11And what happened?
05:12This is what happened.
05:13A really important cross.
05:14Just see.
05:15Hopefully his shin pads took the brunt of that.
05:16You know how small these shin pads are these days.
05:20Saka of China.
05:21An ambitious ball of contact.
05:22Has got a forward inside run.
05:24That's a mistake.
05:27By Cullen.
05:28And dozen sandy.
05:30That's a mistake.
05:31Well, maybe he just crosses that a bit earlier
05:34and loses the ball
05:36He had it a little bit earlier just now
05:39Rabies and his throw-off gets within 5-6 yards
05:43and that's what he's managing this
05:47A little bit vicious in presence of Wilson
05:50England have won it to Saka
05:52Now they've won it to Rodgers
05:54It's right on the top of the crossbar
05:57It was well won by England though
05:59And it had to hit it quick
06:01Closing down was good
06:02Backing was upside down
06:04Even Teglin-Rice thought he was upside
06:07Definitely was
06:16All into the box looking for Brooks
06:18A good save by Pickford
06:19And a header by Moore
06:21And it's still nearly a year since
06:23Pickford last good city of England gone
06:25That's a difficult one to defend against that
06:27if you're a full-back
06:29Get drawn to Kiefer Moore and then over your head
06:32Comes in and far catches it nicely
06:35Pickford does enough
06:37I have to say
06:38There's not been many of them as there
06:40Chances for Wales
06:41But Pickford on his toes
06:44Who's injured there with it
06:48Well, I'm hoping it's also done
06:50It gets hit in months
06:51It's a really good thing that they've done actually with those
06:55It's not too far away
06:59Mark Harris coming off the bench
07:04Sneaking on and almost doing an in-rush
07:06It's his first touch as well
07:08He comes in and his eyes must have lit up
07:10Five or six yards out, it's a great ball in
07:14Maybe second touch
07:16Maybe second touch
07:17And it's smelt like team spirit
07:20England have their eyes on one thing
07:22And their manager has drummed it into them
07:24And they can only do it if they are together
07:26And in the absence of Harry Kane and June Bellingham tonight
07:30tonight Morgan Rodgers, Wally Walkins and Makayo Saka stepped up and England making nine wins out
07:38of ten stretching back to last October Wales still haven't won away friendly since 2008 that
07:44way goes on their big game comes on Monday a night on which their World Cup qualification hopes to
07:49rest England's path to North America might be sorted by the middle of next week they go to
07:53Latvia on the back of another win and with momentum behind them four time at Wembley England three
