[wolves71]

Kicks off in just over an hour, live on ITV1

England starting XI: Hart, Johnson, Baines, Gerrard, Cahill, Jagielka, Henderson, Rooney, Lallana, Sturridge, Welbeck.

I wonder if the starting eleven tonight will be the one that starts against Italy in the opening game of the group stages?

I'd venture it will be damn close mate, just wish Woy would have the courage of his convictions and play the likes of Barkley from the off against Italy in the opening game.

Henderson and Gerrard partnership looks too defensive minded for me anyway. Barkley has energy and gets forward, likes to make things happen. Sterling may come into the equation come the Italy game, but it seems Hodgson may favour who's in the eleven tonight.

Welbeck shot from distance and a Rooney free-kick the best from England so far. Valladares looks vulnerable in the Honduras goal. Glen Johnson already looking nervy.

Best chance of the game for England, good counter-attack, Rooney ball across, dummy by Welbeck and Sturridge fires wide. Players going off due to the weather.
