Marcus, Andy and Vish assess the state of play after England's set of qualifiers ended with a 1-1 draw in Poland. Another Harry Kane goal, a lack of subs and surrendering a lead - same old story, perhaps? Elsewhere, Wales and Northern Ireland just about kept themselves in the hunt with a couple of clean sheets and Italy finally won a game.
