End of 90 minutes: Norway 1-1 England

There is no separating the two teams as an absorbing second half draws to a close. Both sides had chances in the second half, but we're going to need extra time - and possibly penalties - to determine the winner in Miami.

Bellingham goes down

Heggem appears to catch the England midfielder's heel after playing a pass back to Nyland, but the referee is having none of it.
90'

Down to 10

Norway are temporarily reduced to 10 players as Heggem trots off the field. Bellingham gets on the end of a teasing ball in from the right, but the midfielder's flicked header bounces wide of the far post.

Cramp setting in

Heggem has gone down clutching his calf, but he isn't the only player showing one or two signs of fatigue.

Spence nearly capitalises

Nyland takes his time over a clearance and Spence almost takes full advantage, but the ball rebounds off the England substitute and behind. Big let-off for Norway.

Time running out

A change on both sides as we enter seven minutes of additional time.

Opportunity for England

Lovely trickery from Saka to skip past Nusa and swing in a low cross, which is cleared behind for an England corner - but Kane is penalised for a push on a Norway defender.

Into final five

Have England weathered that Norway storm? The Three Lions have made another change, with Spence replacing O'Reilly.

Another Norway chance

Nusa cuts inside onto his right foot, but his low, curling effort is straight at Pickford.

England tiring?

Nusa has looked lively since entering the fray. His cross from the left deflects off Saka and out for another Norway corner, which the Three Lions manage to deal with.

Anderson inches away

The England midfielder nearly gets on the end of a cross at the other end, but the delivery has too much pace for the new Manchester City man.
76'

Off the crossbar!

England are living very dangerously. Pickford gets a strong hand to Berg's corner, but the goalkeeper can only watch helplessly has Berge's header loops onto the crossbar. Haaland can't steer the rebound on target.
74'

Norway break at pace

The ball eventually falls to Bobb inside the area, but the Fulham man can't find a way past former Manchester City team-mate O'Reilly.

The game restarts

Chelsea captain James is on for the final stages. Gordon's race is run.

Haaland penalised

The Manchester City striker's earlier push on Anderson did not go unnoticed by VAR.

Leipzig man enters fray

Nusa replaces goalscorer Schjelderup, while Bobb comes on for Sørloth - formerly of Leipzig. Time for another hydration break...
65'

Last-ditch defending

There is little to choose between the two sides as we enter the final 25 minutes of the 90. Gordon makes room for a cross on the left-hand side and manages to pick out Kane, but the ball is nicked off his toes by a Norway defender.
63'

Too much on the pass

Ødegaard does well to get on the end of Sørloth's dinked ball over the top of the England defence, but the ball had already gone behind for a goal-kick.
61'

Dortmund man departs

A sad end to this quarter-final for Ryerson, who is replaced by Aursnes as the clock ticks past the hour mark.
59'

Ryerson struggling

The Norway full-back, who was struggling with a hamstring problem earlier in the tournament, has gone down with another injury. He may have to come off here...

Goal ruled out!

Norway's second goal is chalked off for a push on Anderson by Haaland in the build-up! The Scandinavians get to retake their corner, but it remains all square in Miami.
56'

Norway lead again!

England fail to deal with the corner this time. Pickford does well to keep out Berg's initial effort, but the loose ball his prodded into the roof of the net by Heggem. It's being checked by VAR though...
53'

Haaland denied

They remain a threat on the break, though. A Norway corner is cleared by Kane at the near post, but the Scandinavians quickly win the ball back and Pickford has to be on his toes to parry a goal-bound Haaland header behind for another corner.
50'

Familiar pattern

England have started the second half the way they began the first - in control of possession. Norway are camped deep inside their own half and are having to work very hard to keep the Three Lions attack at bay.

Half-time: Norway 1-1 England

Wow. What an end to the half in Miami! Schjelderup's cross-shot appeared to have given Norway a slender lead at the break, but Bellingham popped up in first-half stoppage time to fire the Three Lions level with his fifth goal of the tournament so far. All to play for in the second half!

Three Lions level!

England restore parity - and it's another superb goal. Bellingham collects a low pass inside the penalty area before skipping past Heggem and arrowing a low shot past Nyland and into the far corner. A magnificent strike from the former Dortmund man!

That goal came very much against the run of play. England now need to find a way to break down this well-organised Norwegian defence.

Norway in front!

Was it a cross or a shot? Norway - and Schjelderup - won't care one bit, as the left winger loops the ball over Pickford and in off the post from a wide left position. Whether he meant it or not, it's a stunning goal. The Scandinavians lead with their first real attack of the game.

Off we go again. Haaland hasn't seen much of the ball for Norway yet but, as we all know, the striker only needs a moment to make a telling contribution...

Hydration break

Time for both coaches to have a brief chat with their players. Tuchel, you'd imagine, will be the happier of the two tacticians so far...
21'

Ryerson defending deep

The Dortmund full-back is being kept busy down Norway's right. Gordon, Anderson and O'Reilly are all seeing plenty of the ball so far, and this time it's the Manchester City full-back who swings in a dangerous cross. Madueke, though, is unable to get a touch at the far stick.
19'

Too strong for Bellingham

Anderson plays the ball back to Gordon, whose whipped delivery just evades Bellingham inside the Norway penalty area. Close, but not close enough from a Three Lions perspective.
17'

Corner to England

Gordon's cross is blocked by Ajer, who concedes the first corner of the match. Rice's delivery is cut out at the near post, but England soon reclaim possession. It's not exactly one-way traffic, but the Three Lions are starting to up the ante...
15'

Fifteen minutes gone

No real opportunities to speak of so far. England are dominating possession, but Norway are proving very difficult to break down.
12'

Better from Norway

Norway have only had 29 percent of possession so far but they are seeing more of the ball now. England, though, are pushing high up the pitch, forcing the Scandinavians back into their half.
10'

Norway under pressure

The game is being played almost entirely in the Norwegian half so far. Madueke tries to get on the end of a long crossfield pass, but the Arsenal player is just offside.
8'

Heating up in Miami

The sun has just emerged from behind the clouds. Not sure the players will be too pleased, with temperatures now hovering just under 38C (100F).

Kane the quarterback

The Bayern Munich star drops deep in search of the ball before attempting to pick out Bellingham with a raking pass, but Norway keeper Nyland dashes off his line to collect.

England enjoying early possession

The Three Lions are seeing plenty of the ball so far. Norway have everyone - including Haaland - camped inside their own half.

The two sets of fans haven't stopped singing since the end of the national anthems a few minutes ago. Madueke has an opportunity to swing in an early cross for England, but the ball sails behind for a Norway goal-kick.

More on that Norway team

Norway boss Ståle Solbakken, who was in charge at Cologne from 2011-2012, has made just one change to the team that started the 2-1 victory over Brazil in the last round: Leipzig's Antonio Nusa drops to the bench, with Andreas Schjelderup taking his place. Dortmund's Julian Ryerson (pictured) begins at right wing-back.

More on that England team

Thomas Tuchel has made two changes to the side that started against Mexico in the round of 16 last weekend. Ezri Konsa starts at right-back in place of the suspended Jarell Quansah, with John Stones coming in at centre-back. Further forward, Noni Madueke begins on the right wing, with Bukayo Saka droppping to the bench. Harry Kane, of course, leads the line up top.

Kane: 'Haaland is a machine'

Speaking to reporters, England's Harry Kane lauded Erling Haaland, but believes their playing styles differ. "Physically, he’s a machine, he’s a beast. His finishing is at the highest level and obviously his goalscoring record speaks for itself," he explained. "I see myself as a different player although I score the same goals. I like to maybe touch the ball a little bit more, be involved in play a little bit more but also can play as an out-and-out nine."

Watch: The best of Antonio Nusa

While the Kane/Bellingham/Haaland megastars have understandably dominated headlines in the build-up to this game, England would do well to keep tabs on Leipzig winger Nusa. Here's a glimpse of what he's capable of...
camera-photo

Quansah quandry

Leverkusen's Jarell Quansah received a two-match suspension following his sending off against Mexico in the last round, leaving England short of cover at right-back. The Three Lions lost Tino Livramento to injury just before the tournament began, while Reece James, first-choice in the position, has been struggling with a hamstring complaint. Quansah had been deputising at right-back, but his absence means head coach Thomas Tuchel must reshuffle once again. Djed Spence is the leading candidate to start, while Ezri Konza could also slide over from centre-back.

Bayern's incredible World Cup final run to continue?

Super-strikers

All eyes in Miami will be on the respective strikers as Erling Haaland and Harry Kane look to take their nation into the semi-finals. The latter has sent Bundesliga records tumbling during his time at Bayern Munich with 98 goals in only 94 appearances, including the fastest player ever to 50 goals. He did that from only 43 games, breaking Haaland's record of 50 in 50 from his time at Borussia Dortmund.
camera-photo

Head-to-head record

These two nations haven't met since Wayne Rooney scored the only goal of the game from a penalty in a September 2014 friendly. John Stones, Jordan Henderson and Ørjan Nyland are the three survivors from that game. England have won seven out of 12 encounters (D3, L2), but Norway's two wins came in the four competitive meetings in qualifiers for the 1982 and 1994 World Cups.
camera-photo

How they got here: England

The Three Lions topped Group L with two wins and a draw before coming from behind to beat DR Congo thanks to Harry Kane's second-half double in the round of 32. The Bayern Munich striker then got England's third from the spot after Jude Bellingham's brace as they beat co-hosts Mexico 3-2 at the Estadio Azteca.

How they got here: Norway

Second in Group I behind France after wins over Iraq and Senegal, Norway then saw off Ivory Coast in the last 32 before dumping out five-time winners Brazil in the round of 16 thanks to Erling Haaland's brace in a 2-1 victory, taking the ex-Borussia Dortmund striker up to seven goals for the tournament in four appearances.
