That's all we've got time for on Tribe, I'm afraid. Until next time, this is James Messenger saying goodbye!
Four goals scored. Two clean sheets. Two wins for interim boss Lee Carsley, and a brace for Harry Kane on his 100th England appearance. As far as international breaks go, this has been near-perfect for the Three Lions, who were able to see off stubborn opposition in Finland to maintain their perfect record in Group B2 of the UEFA Nations League. And who else to score the goals but Kane, the man who was given so much fanfare pre-match. He broke the deadlock in emphatic fashion on 57 minutes and wasn't done there, a delightful strike into the top left corner sealing the win with less than 15 to play. There'd be no hat-trick as Kane was quite fittingly given a standing ovation from most, if not all inside Wembley with 10 minutes to go. There are smiles all around the national stadium at the final whistle as the England players congratulate one another on a fairly assured display at both ends of the pitch.
Job done for England on Harry Kane's special night!
90+4'
CHANCE! Perhaps the final sight of goal tonight. The crowd lifts momentarily as Madueke drives forward at his man with intent. There are options on the inside as he approaches the right corner of the box. The Chelsea forward opens his body up and tries to find the far corner, but doesn't get any bend on his effort and sends it well off target.
90+2'
CHANCE! Excellent work from Grealish! Having been omitted from the England squad for Euro 2024, you could forgive the talented forward for feeling like he has a real point to prove. He escapes his man down the left channel and bursts towards the byline, fizzing a low ball across the face of goal which is crying out to be poked home. On this occasion, no-one is close enough to apply the finishing touch.
90+1'
Wembley is emptying at a rapid rate of knots. It is a school night, after all! As for matters on the pitch, England are still moving the ball around with real zip as they look to add to their two-goal cushion.
We'll play FIVE additional minutes...

Cute, intricate, so nearly delightful from England. They try to pass their way through a packed Finnish rearguard as Lewis is found in a pocket of space near the edge of the box. He tries an audacious back-heeled return pass for a team-mate, but it doesn't come off and Finland win possession back.
