That is all from us here at Tribe for live coverage of this international friendly between England and Belgium, as Jude Bellingham's late leveller at Wembley denies Belgium the victory. Plenty for both managers to ponder ahead of the tournament's start date on June 14. I'm Andrew Smith and thank you for joining me. Until next time!
England are currently the bookmaker's joint-favourites to win the Euros in the summer with France, but they will need to improve on their showing over the March friendlies if they are to go all the way. A lot has been said about who could replace Harry Kane over these two games, but it was in defence where Southgate's side clearly struggled. The only comfort is that the midfield looks relatively stable. For Belgium, early life under Tedesco looks promising and add Keven De Bruyne and Thibaut Courtois to this team and Belgium could be an outside shout. Still, they are a long way off being the finished article.
There's barely time for Belgium to take kick-off before Sebastian Gishamer blows the full-time whistle. On the basis of it, a draw is probably a fair result but both managers will not give too much consideration to the result, with the performance the main focus ahead of the final preparations for the Euros in the summer. Tieleman's double which was gift wrapped by England's defence came either side of a Toney penalty as the visitors were seconds away from an impressive victory before Bellingham snatches a draw at the death. At times, the game was a struggle to watch but that is the nature of the international football.

BELLINGHAM AT THE DEATH! Well, you would not think it's a freindly with the way Wembley celebrated that one. Third time lucky for Bellingham, who has hauled England level. The England fans who have stayed inside Wembley are given something to cheer as England's midfield talisman places the ball inside the far corner from 12 yards out after Maddison's pull-back. Gareth Southgate punches the air in delight. England have salvaged something after a lacklustre performance.

WHAT A CHANCE! Belgium should have wrapped it up there. Openda holds the ball up so well and helps it onto Doku. He runs at Konsa and squares the ball for Lukebakio who hits it first time but lifts the ball well over the top. Will he be made to rue that?

Yellow card for Maddison for kicking the ball away. So pointless. Do players not remember that it will always result in a booking? Some clearly don't.
