Paul Robinson
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live at WembleyYou could feel the momentum shift inside this stadium.
Harry Kane has just missed, but this time he directs a header goalwards.
Kane times his run, and he puts himself across the Spanish defender and there is nothing that Marc Cucurella can do.
You now don't want to see an England team who rest on their laurels.

Alex Howell
BBC Sport England reporter at Wembley StadiumA completely different atmosphere inside Wembley Stadium now. What a turnaround.
England truly on top after those two goals in under five minutes.

BBC Radio 5 Live senior football reporter at WembleyEngland have come from behind and now lead the world champions!
GOAL - England 2-1 Spainpublished at 20:28 BST
Harry Kane (40 mins)
From 1-0 down to 2-1 up!
It's a stunning little chip from Nico O'Reilly to find Harry Kane and the captain makes no mistake with his diving header.
He's not been in the game much but he's not going to miss that opportunity. The ball finds the net by way of a Marc Cucurella deflection but make no mistake that will go down as Kane's goal.
England lead the world champions.

England almost take the lead as Harry Kane bends one wide. The Three Lions fired up now.

Lee Dixon
Former England defender on ITVThere will be nobody more pleased than thomas Tuchel.
Absolutely brilliant from Anthony Gordon.
One simple ball from Jude Bellingham.
Unai Simon is out of his goal and he just leaves that near post open. Gordon doesn't need a second invitation.
I'm just wondering why Simon is that far out of his goal, Gordon just slides it into that near post.
'Classic Anthony Gordon'published at 20:27 BST
England 1-1 Spain
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live at WembleyMovement, pace, and direct on the break.
Classic Anthony Gordon with a finish that is so composed and super cool.
It is about his desire to want to get in behind. He coolly gets his head up and passes it into the near post.

BBC Radio 5 Live senior football reporter at WembleyA classic counter-attack from England!
GOAL - England 1-1 Spainpublished at 20:25 BST
Anthony Gordon (36 mins)
This time it's England who are the ones to get on the counter attack after they win the ball back deep in their own half.
One pass and the Three Lions are on their way as it comes to Jude Bellingham and the midfielder drives forward and finds Anthony Gordon.
The Barcelona winger slides into the near post with Unai Simon way off his line.

England can't get going at the moment.

Oh that is so cheeky from Lamine Yamal. A little backheel finds Dani Olmo in the box but the finish isn't there and he drags his shot centimetres wide.

He looks cool as a cucumber. It is lovely football to watch.

Bukayo Saka gets round Marc Cucurella and the Arsenal man lifts one into the area, it's headed away for another England corner.

Not sure we are good enough to play through Spain like we are trying to do. They're making this Wembley pitch look very small.
Sean, Portsmouth
I believe that a lot of these England players are lucky there is no real competition for their places.

England 0-1 Spain
Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live at WembleyI didn't fancy Bukayo Saka with his body shape. His body weight was going backwards, which indicated the ball was going to go upwards.
Well, Pau Curbasi doesn't make a challenge and Myles Lewis-Skelly is looking for the contact. The referee is in a good position and not buying it at all.

England 0-1 Spain
Pau Cubarsi steps across Myles Lewis-Skelly and England are claiming for a penalty but there's nothing in that and the Spanish defender comes away with the ball.

Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live at WembleyDefensively, Spain are so strong.
We have read out the stats and the records - you don't get those type of stats when you concede goals.

England 0-1 Spain
England have a corner and it's sent deep by Elliott Anderson, Jarell Quansah keeps it alive and pings back in for Anderson to take the shot on but he can't quite connect with the volley.
It falls to Bukayo Saka but the winger blasts over the bar.
