00:00Reading in gold, Alex Coulson is going to come on shortly.
00:10Have to wait for the next break in play, Anderson.
00:21Well, this is the third meeting between these two nations over the years.
00:24The very first one ended in a 1-0 England victory back in 1991.
00:27Gary Lineker scoring the only goal of that one.
00:39Burn underneath it.
00:56I think about five substitutions going to be made by New Zealand in one go here.
01:02Forward it goes off the boot of old.
01:04And James Trafford swiftly into action, but the whistle blows anyway.
01:10I think those changes are going to happen now for New Zealand.
01:18So, Nando Pinaka is going to come on.
01:23Sarfit Singh, one of those going off.
01:26Max Crocombe, the goalkeeper, off.
01:30Callum McCowett is on.
01:33And we're seeing Callum Elliott and Lachlan Bayliss,
01:37as well as the goalkeeper, Alex Coulson.
01:40I think that just about covers it.
01:42There's a lot going on down there.
01:53So, by my reckoning, we have had 22 substitutions in this game,
01:58with a little over five minutes to go.
02:03Paulson has been with Lekia Gdansk in Poland on loan from Bournemouth.
02:13Tenth cap for Callum Elliott, a right back from Auckland.
02:19Lachlan Bayliss, third cap for the Newcastle Jets midfielder.
02:42Burn finding Rhys James, who in turn picks out Jude Bellingham.
02:47They're just looking for that second goal to give them a little bit of elbow room here.
02:57Just enough on that from Rhys James.
03:04O'Reilly into Livramento, trying to find Rhys James.
03:10The challenge on Ivan Tony has been penalised.
03:13He's first contribution, having just come off the bench,
03:16the central defender from Auckland.
03:18This is London.
03:20That one last kick out James.
03:26That's the final playoff in England.
03:26Oh!
03:36That's the final field of snowboard to fly.
03:46That's the final 6th!
03:47Anderson's pass is an excellent one
03:49collected by Anthony Gordon
03:51who goes for goal
03:53and brings a straightforward save
03:55first touch of the ball for Alex Polson

04:50good play Dan Byrne
04:53nicely done
04:56and Gamowat has been
04:57loitering on that far touch light
05:00away from the first
05:01away from the second
05:03and fouled by the third
05:07what a handful he is
05:18it was the only way
05:20Lachlan Baylis was going to stop
05:21Rio and Gamowat
05:22it was the only way
05:52Rhys James to send this one in, up towards Dan Byrne.
05:56Well dealt with, though, by the New Zealand defence.
06:01Kouac tussling with O'Reilly, collected by Bayliss.
06:07But England have it back? No, not by fair means.
06:11It'll be a free kit.
06:12Is that Harry Kane header going to be the only goal of the match?
06:19It's the only one we've seen with just two minutes remaining.
06:23He did come very late in the first half.
06:28Another game, another goal.
06:31He's the man that England have to keep fit.
06:34If he's in form and stays healthy, they've got a chance.
06:49Into the last minute of the 90.
06:56New Zealand pushing forward, hoping for a chance.
07:03Hoping to snatch a dramatic draw.
07:10It'll open up for Callum McCarrot.
07:12The block is made by Anderson.
07:16Bellingham tries to bring it away.
07:18Gets the free kick.
07:20Keen to get on with it.
07:22Can't blame him for that.
07:2315 seconds remaining, plus added time.
07:25Here comes Gordon.
07:28Quick to converge on him.
07:32Interested to hear the thoughts of Thomas Tuchel after the match.
07:36Though he won't be reading too much into this game either way.
07:40He just wants his players to get some minutes in the conditions
07:43and to stay fit for additional minutes.
07:53Of course, we have had the fortune of avoiding a potential thunderstorm delay,
07:58which, of course, does occur in this part of the world
08:02and across North America relatively frequently.
08:05are going to have some delays, it's almost certain,
08:08during the World Cup matches over the next few weeks,
08:11but stay dry and bright throughout this match.
08:23Bellingham.
08:27Bellingham.
08:29And Gomorrah.
08:33It's looked like he's enjoyed himself on his international debut.
08:37It was a lovely bit of skill from Esri Konza,
08:41but he's got caught on his foot.
08:42My lord.
08:43My father.
09:04I thought I'd love him for a challenge.
09:10I thought I would have done it then.
09:10But I want to do it now,
09:23Webbed into Ivan, Tony.
09:25That was a rare second-half goal-scoring opportunity.
09:34And the flag has gone up anyway.
09:38He was well offside.
09:44When he normally eats those sort of opportunities for lunch, no problem.
10:04Nobody there in white.
10:06But for New Zealand, a much better performance,
10:10a much better outcome than the other day,
10:13the rather alarming scoreline against Haiti.
10:20And four goals still.
10:22That certainly wasn't in the planning for Darren Baisley.
10:26But his team have acquitted themselves well here against...
10:33One of the bigger fish at the World Cup this summer.
10:37Just the one goal in the game.
10:39Barely time for England to launch another attack.
10:42But there is time.
10:43And can they create a goal-scoring opportunity here?
10:46Reece James sends it across.
10:48And the answer is no on this occasion.
10:51Old with a chance to get it away.
10:52James is working hard to try and atone for the disappointing delivery into the box.
11:19Rio and Gamora.
11:23Lovely play.
11:26And still.
11:32He's made quite a contribution.
11:34And it goes towards Bellingham, who is furthest forward.
11:36And Gamora once more in the thick of the action for England.
11:41But conceding a free kick.
11:43And that might just about be it.
11:44And indeed it is.
11:47And not for the first time in recent years.
11:51It's a Harry Kane contribution that makes the difference for the three lines of England.
11:56And this is the first of the two warm-up matches in the space of a few days in Florida.
12:01Just ahead of the FIFA World Cup finals.
12:05This match decided by a flicked header from England's captain shortly before the halftime interval.
12:12Not a game to linger long in the memory.
12:15These pre-World Cup friendlies never are, are they?
12:18But England have won the match.
12:20New Zealand will be much happier with their efforts than on Wednesday against Haiti.
12:24It's finished in Tampa.
12:26England 1, New Zealand 0.
