00:04Sheringham, Batty
00:08Anderton with the shots, good one
00:13That'll be good for him too, wasn't too far away
00:16Nice clean strike, he's already got a very good cross in right from the kickoff
00:22Beautiful action, he's a lovely relaxed striker of all is Darren Anderton
00:30Steve McManaman nears to Canberra, there's another one
00:34Waiting his chance, in the progress, it will come
00:41Adams
00:45Campbell, finding Haji a little bit of a problem and indeed Haji got underneath him and fouled him
00:50And talking of Haji, his booking is the fourth against Romania in this championship
01:00Slip by Sheringham, which didn't help him
01:04Anderton, Batty's made the forward one
01:06This is he, Scholes and Shearer in the middle, Sheringham just outside the box
01:11Ruin for Anderton to turn for the cross
01:15That's awkward, goalkeeper in a bit of trouble, scores!
01:19And taken very calmly away by Zika Popescu
01:27And the coach of Romania is on the edge of the line
01:33Remonstrating from that range with his goalkeeper
01:37They say is the train going outside, scores
01:41It's going to arrive at Shearer, Sheringham in the middle, put out by Zika Popescu
01:50Superb play, wonderful ball by Scholes, almost inch perfect for Shearer
01:54In his best to cross, but Popescu read it well
02:03Sheringham, oh, he's very unlucky, he did really well to get over the top of the ball
02:08And Adams coming in on the right post as we see, just couldn't make it
02:14Well the times they've worked that corner, Anderton and Sheringham, Sheringham just drops off to the edge of the box
02:24Sheringham, passed out to Gucca
02:29It's two forward at the moment
02:32Peel for offside by Adams, which certainly wasn't Ilié
02:36Moldovan makes the first run, then pulls away
02:38Oh, and off the crossbar
02:41Brilliant attempt by Ilié, which had beaten David Seaman
02:46Good work too by Moldovan off the ball, but this was class
02:51Absolutely, he looked up, he saw, he shot, and he almost conquered Seaman with that wonderful, deft chip
02:58And it was a super crossfield ball that put Ilié free in the first place
03:11And it's coming out to Hedgie, who plays it early
03:19Barry's prepared to take the most difficult ball there on the full volley with his left foot
03:23There we see that splendid chip again
03:32Not the best of challenges
03:35Anderton goes away, but is challenged by Gucca
03:38Did Riley have to make up a lot of ground, Ilié then, Gucca
03:42There's a lot of conversation going on between the England coach and David Beckham
03:47who has now taken off the extra top and is about to be introduced into the World Cup
03:53Beckham is now waiting on the touchline
03:56And it is going to be Paul Ince, who got the knock early
04:00And looks as quickly as they've run it off
04:03And he comes off to his obvious disappointment
04:12David Beckham
04:14Looking very calm
04:16But comes on to his obvious delight
04:26Anderton
04:29Beckham had made the forward run
04:31There's a lot of ball from the back, but he makes something of it
04:34Sheringham is in the middle, two others coming up
04:36Out by Popescu
04:41Montanu
04:51Inside the last five minutes of the first half
04:55Haji
05:03There we see Beckham's fine piece of play
05:05Taking that ball, a foraging run
05:10Almost a very good ball
05:17Last action
05:19Of the first half
05:23Which there wasn't an enormous amount of sweat to go
05:27Which has seen the arrival of David Beckham
05:31And which saw Ilié beat David Seaman
05:34Only to be denied by the crossbar
05:36Half-time it's Romania nil, England nil
05:49This is the fourth of five matches to be played here
05:54In the pink city of Toulouse
05:59Still to come Nigeria's last match against the Paraguay on Wednesday
06:06Here's the man who came closest to breaking the deadlock in the first period
06:09But his first cross is well behind
06:12Yeah
06:24Nice dancing feet but this time no end product
06:37Goat cap
06:39Nice use for the outside of the boot
06:41Moldovan
06:42Cameron for company
06:46A lot of running the Coventry man without seeing too much of the ball
06:56Hadji trots forward
06:57Going to Lesseau's domain
07:00And then comes inside and gets away briefly
07:02And England are struggling here
07:04And Moldovan scores
07:11Moldovan the scorer
07:13No doubt
07:15Who was the crafty creator
07:17He just strolled in
07:19Found himself a good position
07:21Lesseau couldn't challenge him
07:24And Moldovan of Coventry City
07:26Scores against England for Romania
07:33It came from a throw in
07:35And as the ball bounced over Adams
07:37Moldovan whacked it in with his right foot
07:39Seaman no chance
07:41There you see Hadji play it over the head
07:44Adams is stretching
07:45Moldovan takes it on his chest
07:47And first time whacks it past Seaman
07:50Who had no chance
07:53Lesseau
07:56Adams stays back
07:57Four others
08:02But here's Hadji
08:03And his touch let him down
08:06Which is as well for Neville
08:08Because he was a bit exposed then
08:11I think Neville at first thought he might get that ball
08:13And then he realised the accuracy had just deceived him
08:21Campbell seeing quite a lot of the ball coming forward
08:23Scores
08:26Great kick against Potescu
08:36Beckham
08:40One side up
08:41Got a few off their seats
08:43But didn't worry the goalkeeper too much
08:50That was a good effort
08:52Nice pace
08:53Good curl
08:55Stelehouse searching for that ball
08:57Just too high
09:03And ball mistake by him
09:05But he recovered as well
09:06Hadji would have caught that challenge
09:11Hadji would have stayed down
09:12Batty
09:13England looking increasingly promising
09:16There was plenty of fizz in that shot
09:18From quite a long range
09:21And the crowd responding
09:22To a lot of better play now by England
09:31Beckham
09:33Anderton
09:36Gaps ahead
09:38Anderton
09:40Beckham
09:41Nicely clipped
09:41Oh
09:42Shearer
09:43Anderton
09:44Oh
09:46Goodness me
09:47How did that stay out
09:49Run all the way along the line
09:51And refused to get the touch
09:52On the far post
09:54Anderton was so tight
09:55And it didn't look possible
09:56To score from there
09:58And it wasn't
09:59It's difficult to explain that one
10:01But it was a fine header
10:02By Shearer
10:04A super position
10:05Anderton's got into
10:06So close
10:08So near
10:09So far
10:11Batty
10:13Adams
10:13Neville down the touchline
10:15Anderton inside this time
10:18Good run by Darren Anderson
10:20Good go all the way
10:21If he fences it
10:22Good cross
10:25Scrolls header
10:28That's Anderton at his best
10:30That's Anderton at his best
10:30Loping stride
10:31Can make tracks very quickly
10:33Deceiving when he's on the run
10:35Fine cross or two
10:36And there's Scholes
10:37Seeking that space in the box
10:40With a fine little jump
10:43Well he's done his job
10:44The Romanian captain
10:47And it's the other number ten
10:49Who comes off
10:50Teddy Shearingham
10:53Has left the pitch
10:54To be replaced
10:55By Michael Owen
11:01Same substitution
11:02By Glenn Hoddle
11:03As in Marseille
11:04Against Tunisia
11:14Campbell
11:16Good athletic run
11:18And he gets the corner
11:25Which Adams is already
11:27Making his way forward
11:32And the second time
11:34England have taken the corner
11:35And it's taken short
11:35To Lusso
11:38Adams
11:43And his reaction
11:45Sums up the feeling
11:46He was clear
11:47He was precise
11:48And he was just too high
11:53Scholes
11:54Lusso over the fireside
11:56Calling for it
11:59Lovely roll
12:00By Scholes
12:01Trescu now
12:02Facing Lusso
12:05Second chance
12:06What a great opportunity
12:13Lusso to cross that ball
12:14First time with his left foot
12:15He came back inside
12:16He made it more difficult
12:18For the front players
12:19They'd already made their one
12:20They'd adjusted
12:24And it's him
12:26Beckham
12:28Just a bit away from Shearer
12:31Driven across the box
12:32Scoles on the top
12:33Yes
12:36It's Michael
12:38It's Michael
12:52It's Michael
12:57The smile of the kid
13:01Who's now added
13:02Who's now added something else
13:03He's the youngest ever
13:04Scorer for England
13:05In the World Cup Finals
13:09First to react
13:12Bang
13:2483 minutes
13:26It's gone. Romania one. England one.
13:34In here. Referee plays a brilliant advantage and he's going straight for the stroke.
13:40Finally judged by Davy Batty.
13:45That really was a fine piece of play by Davy Batty.
13:48A good piece of refereeing which was beneficial to Neville.
13:54But Batty watched that with great care. Had to get this right.
14:01Well, Illy dramatised it.
14:05But Batty knew exactly what he was doing and he took it cleanly.
14:10Fourth official from Morocco has held up the ball, saying four minutes.
14:18Montano.
14:21This is Francesco who's got forward here.
14:24Oh, and Petrescu!
14:30Somehow squeezed it through, the challenge of David Seaman and Graeme Lesseau.
14:40Chelsea's Petrescu has surely won it for Romania.
14:50Well, that's quite incredible. You can't accuse Petrescu of lack of adventure, he's the right wing back, he's turned up
14:55in the inside left position.
14:58It's against his Chelsea teammate there, he's chested the ball, Lesseau's tried to hold the ball, I think he was
15:03inviting Seaman to come to collect it.
15:05But Trescu got the really faintest of touches, it's his left foot, not his best, and would you believe it,
15:11through Seaman's legs.
15:16The goal in the ninetieth minute.
15:27The noise is in that one corner.
15:33Neville.
15:35The goal in the ninetieth minute.
15:39The goal in the ninetieth minute.
15:44The goal in the ninetieth minute.
16:00The goal in the ninetieth minute.
16:00Michael Mann offers no intention other than the shoot.
16:02And it came back off the post with the goalkeeper.
16:05Well beaten.
16:13Adams, Beckham, two goals by players who play in the Premiership, had beaten England with
16:27England strike coming from Michael Owen, Tony Adams offering to shake the hand of Lakatoosh
16:32which Lakatoosh didn't want to accept for whatever reason, but shirts are exchanged and England
16:40will have to do it the hard way, it will all depend on the match against Colombia at Lens.
