Good to hear the young England lads belting out the national anthem with some gusto. They clap hands with their Venezuelan youngsters and it's almost time for kick-off!
3 mins: A bright start from Venezuela. They twice attack down the left and give Walker-Peters something to think about, but the young Spurs full-back defends well.
England looking to attack on the counter-attack but they've seen little of the ball so far.
5 mins: England's first attack sees Solanke springing forward into the final third of the pitch. He makes his way to the edge of the box where he attempts to draw the foul. He goes down, but the referee is unmoved and waves play on.
Nice turn of pace from Solanke, though.
7 mins: Lookman has started the game very well. He's drifting into pockets of space and impressing with the ball at feet, and finds Solanke with a low pass, lurking unmarked on the wing.
Solanke cuts inside and lays off Walker-Peters, who is bundled off the ball. But again, the ref is unmoved.
