With 12 minutes of normal time left here, this has been England\u2019s worst performance of the World Cup I think.
They\u2019ve been a mess since the first-half drinks break, aside from Bellingham<\/strong>\u2019s brilliant equaliser. But they\u2019ve at least regained a foothold since James came on.
I wonder if we might see Spence or Burn on soon, with Konsa limping.
What an intervention that is from Konsa<\/strong>. Would surely have been a goal if he had not got his head to the ball first.
75\u2019 Norway 1-1 England <\/strong>
Norway have come out big since the restart. They\u2019ve already have some promising moments in the England penalty box \u2014 and now Ajer<\/strong> heads against the crossbar as England struggle to deal with a corner.
I\u2019m still not sure how they survived that scramble either. Berge<\/strong> is outmuscled at the far post under the loose ball too.
So close for Norway. <\/p>\n

Tuchel knows far more than me but it does feel a little strange that England now have a centre-back at right-back while their best right-back plays in midfield and a specialist midfielder, Kobbie Mainoo<\/strong>, sits on the bench.
Presumably it\u2019s about the physical presence that Reece James\u2019 can offer and Mainoo can\u2019t.
A surprising change from England with Reece James<\/strong> coming on for Gordon.
James is sat in the middle next to Anderson, Bellingham is back in the 10, and Eze wide on the left. It feels like Tuchel is trying to fix his half-time mistake.
72\u2019 Norway 1-1 England <\/strong>
Changes ahead of the restart. Reece James<\/strong> is on for Anthony Gordon.
A double change for Norway too, as Antonio Nusa<\/strong> and Oscar Bobb<\/strong> come on \u2014 for Alexander Sorloth and goalscorer Andreas Schjelderup.
We are back underway. <\/p>\n

A very strange third quarter, when the only thing that happened was the long VAR decision which overturned that potential Norway goal.
England<\/strong> look unbalanced and lost after those two subs at half-time, Anderson<\/strong> is exposed in the middle of the pitch, Eze and Saka are offering nothing going forward yet.
Huge hydration break here for England.
On the basis of Gordon<\/strong>\u2019s first look at Aursnes<\/strong>, Gordon might get some proper change out of him. Aursnes didn\u2019t know what to do with him.<\/p>\n

Jude Bellingham <\/strong>and Harry Kane <\/strong>have become the second pair of team-mates at this tournament to score five goals, joining French duo Kylian Mbappe <\/strong>and Ousmane Dembele<\/strong>.
You have to go back to 2002 to find the last two players on the same team to do that, Ronaldo and Rivaldo for Brazil.
68\u2019 Norway 1-1 England <\/strong>
The second hydration break catches a few out there. It will be interesting to see if this is the nudge this game needs to get going again, as was the case in the first half. <\/p>\n

Just before the second half restarted, the Fox broadcast showed us a replay of the ball hitting the overhead wire before England\u2019s equaliser.
Nyland\u2019s goal kick hit the wire that the spidercam is attached to, dropped to Anderson who passed to Gordon who then fed Bellingham. There were protests from Nyland, Haaland and their manager Stale Solbakken<\/strong> at the time, but the goal was allowed to stand.
Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg, part of Fox\u2019s team for the World Cup, said that VAR should have intervened and disallowed the goal.
FIFA has subsequently claimed that it was checked and the motion sensor in the ball showed that there was no touch.
After the end of the first half where it looked like this game had woken up a bit, it\u2019s all pretty flat again now.
It\u2019s got the distinct feeling of players being afraid of taking risks and of getting caught out on the ball.
Sorloth<\/strong>\u2019s game isn\u2019t shaping up to be any better than Madueke\u2019s.
Have I mentioned that Sorloth isn\u2019t very good?
England haven\u2019t got going second half at all here. I know Rice<\/strong> wasn\u2019t at his best but England need him and they\u2019ve lost structure without him \u2014 they don\u2019t even have the outlet of Madueke either now.
Not sure why it was Eze over Morgan Rogers<\/strong> either, but it\u2019s not working.
It has been all Norway in this second half so far.
62\u2019 Norway 1-1 England <\/strong>
Ryerson<\/strong>\u2019s match is indeed done. He makes way, with Fredrik Aursnes<\/strong> on in his place.
Norway are still dictating the play here. They\u2019ve had 71 per cent possession since half-time.
England are missing Rice<\/strong> a lot, it feels.<\/p>\n

Whoever decided that a team who commit a foul before the corner comes in gets to retake it is incredibly silly, I can\u2019t believe that was the result from Haaland<\/strong>\u2019s push on Anderson.
Not everything needs to mirror the Premier League but I can\u2019t see why a foul, just because it\u2019s before the ball is kicked, shouldn't result in a loss of attacking advantage.
It\u2019s definitely a foul by Haaland<\/strong> on Anderson<\/strong>. And football will definitely benefit if those kind of shoves at corners get stamped out.
But it\u2019s an interesting moment to start applying the law strictly. Feels like a hell of a lot of similar pushes have been let go over the last few years.
I don\u2019t think Erling Haaland<\/strong> could complain there. It was a two-handed shove in the chest and even if Elliot Anderson<\/strong> went down a bit softly, there\u2019s no way that could have stood given some of the other decisions we\u2019ve seen at this tournament.
