From Lloyd Canfield at Old Trafford
It’s been a dominant England performance in the first 10 minutes here at Old Trafford.
It was only right that Rooney opened the scoring after a defensive World XI mix-up.
It’s Louis Tomlinson who is the most popular man here though, with fans screaming all around every time he gets on the ball.
Jack Wilshere, Michael Carrick and Jill Scott in midfield have been brilliant to watch so far and are running things for the home team.
Tom Grennan has been a highlight too, after a stunning performance last year he looks hungry for more this time round.
England 1-0 World
11 – Both teams are now enjoying touches of the ball as the game has settled into a pleasant rhythm.
In his place, Gary Neville has made a few timely interceptions.
England 1-0 World
8 – Bellew went off due to what appeared to be an injury, forcing the World XI to make a substitution already. Marquez has taken his spot.
After cutting off the left wing, Tom Grennan drops menacingly but still whistles over the crossbar after spanking a 30-yard effort towards the top right corner.
England 1-0 World
4 – What a way for England to begin!
The ball bounces around after Van der Sar and Vidic’s high cross into the area is unsuccessful, and Rooney turns it in from within the box.
GOAL – Wayne Rooney (England)
England 0-0 World
2 – The game begins a slower tempo as England dominates the early possession, with Edwin van der Sar chopping off a Wayne Rooney pass after Louis Tomlinson attempted to pick out a cross.
Tomlinson deserves a lot of applause when he gets on the ball.
