England lead Lithuania 2-0 at half time in their final Euro 2016 qualifying fixture.

England have taken a comfortable 2-0 lead into half time of their final Euro 2016 qualifier away at Lithuania.

The visitors were slow to find their rhythm, with 11 minutes on the clock before Harry Kane could get away a first attempt which Giedrius Arlauskis pushed aside.

It was Kane - one of three survivors from the meeting against Estonia last week - who was proving to be England's main threat as he again forced Arlauskis into action at his near post moments later.

Roy Hodgson's men, already safely through to next summer's finals prior to these latest set of fixtures, struggled to create any clear-cut chances as a sombre opening quarter to the match passed by.

Soon after Kane had continued his personal battle with Lithuania's first-choice stopper with a third attempt on goal, it was left to an in-form Barkley to fire home a right-footed shot from the edge of the box to open the scoring in style on the half-hour mark.

Jack Butland, on his first England start in three years, was finally called into action 10 minutes before the interval when Lukas Spalvis got a shot in on target, yet it was the visitors who bagged the game's second goal.

Kane was the man who created it, firing away after being played in by Adam Lallana and seeing his effort deflect in off Arlauskis to put England well in command.
