England v Panama: John Cross previews game and gives 'team sheet gate' update

John Stones and Harry Kane have put England ahead following a fantastic start in Nizhny Novgorod.
Manchester City defender Stones was unmarked to head the Three Lions into an eighth minute lead. Kane then doubled the score with a thumping penalty on 22 minutes.
England can secure their place in the knockout stages of the World Cup with a victory over Panama in the sweltering heat.
Temperatures are close to 30 degrees as Gareth Southgate's men look good in their bid to make it two wins out of two.
Dele Alli has not been risked with Ruben Loftus-Cheek starting in his place. Raheem Sterling starts too.
