That's all we've got time for on Tribe, I'm afraid. Until next time, this is James Messenger saying goodbye!
Job done for the Three Lions in Helsinki, with goals from Jack Grealish, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Declan Rice doing the damage. The second from Alexander-Arnold was the pick of the bunch - a trademark, curling free-kick into the top left corner which left Lukas Hradecky with little chance of getting there. England led by three at one stage, and you'd suspect Lee Carsley will be irked by the manner in which his side gave Arttu Hoskonen the freedom of the penalty area to head home a late consolation for Finland and deny Dean Henderson a clean sheet on his return to the national team starting XI. Still, their performance was a much-improved one, and England can go into the November international break knowing only two wins from two - and a healthy goal difference - will do if they want to top Group B2 and automatically qualify for the top tier of the UEFA Nations League.
England return to winning ways!
90+2'
With options lacking, Madueke tries to burst forward down the England right. The ball ends up taking a double deflection and goes out for a Finland throw-in.
Four minutes of added time to come...

88'
CHANCE! England look to make amends immediately as Watkins races towards the penalty area then looks to tee up Madueke rather than shooting himself. Foden waits for the ball to be squared to him at the back post, but the Chelsea man goes for glory himself and takes his man on the outside before lashing the ball into the side-netting.
87'
ONE BACK FOR FINLAND! Easy as you like for the home side as they grab a late consolation in Helsinki! Walta swings a dangerous corner towards the near post, and Arttu Hoskonen sneaks a half-yard between Watkins and Lewis and steers his header into the roof of the net beyond Henderson. That's his first international goal - and for England, the clean sheet is gone.
