It’s been a fascinating first half.
England dominated possession and territory for most of it, but struggled to create chances against a disciplined Norway defence.
Ståle Solbakken’s side made the most of an excellent spell after the break to take the lead.
But on one of the few occasions where Norway allowed their opponents some space in the final third, England took full advantage, with Bellingham’s brilliant finish.

🇳🇴 1-1 🏴
Jude Bellingham weaves his way past two defenders and hammers home a left-footed finish to level things up at the break
England are favourites tonight, but Thomas Tuchel’s side have not found it easy in the knockout stages.
A 75th-minute Harry Kane equaliser was needed to inspire a comeback against DR Congo.
And in the round of 16, they survived playing most of the second half with 10 men to edge co-hosts Mexico.
Norway will hardly be pushovers either.
They earned a hard-fought late 2-1 win over the Ivory Coast in the round of 32 before an impressive victory by the same scoreline against Brazil.
With seven goals so far, Erling Haaland is the undisputed star, but Ståle Solbakken’s side have proved with their performances so far that they are far from a one-man team.

LIVE: England v Norway, World Cup quarter-final
England 2-1 Norway
ENGLAND 2-1 NORWAY (BELLINGHAM 93)
England are starting on the front foot and have a corner.
Extra time has begun…
Norway are making another change.
Heggem is off and Østigård comes on.
Both teams look exhausted by the end of the second half.
You get the impression a mistake or a moment of magic could settle the match.
There will probably be more space in extra time, given how tired both sets of players are.
FULL-TIME: ENGLAND 1-1 NORWAY – EXTRA-TIME TO BE PLAYED!
90 + 5 mins: Stones whips in a cross, but Bellingham can’t direct his header on target.
The tension is palpable as extra time beckons.
90 + 3 mins: Heggem has gone down with cramp.
Having been second best for most of this half, England are finishing strongly.
There will be seven minutes of stoppage time, two of which have already been played.
90 + 1 mins: Heart-in-mouth moment for Norway.
Spence charges down Nyland’s kick, but it deflects out for a goal kick.
89 mins: Morgan Rogers is on in place of Konsa.
And for Norway, Pedersen replaces Møller Wolfe.
87 mins: Great play from Saka to beat his man and deliver a low cross.
But Aursnes does really well to get himself in the right position and clear it.
86 mins: England make another change.
Spence is on for O’Reilly.
85 mins: After a long build-up, Nusa shoots, but it’s straight at Pickford.
Norway are looking more likely to score right now.

More Norwegian pressure.
81 mins: Nusa’s cross is headed away by O’Reilly.
Norway are on the front foot at the moment.
77 mins: Saka delivers a dangerous inswinging cross, but it eludes everyone.
Anderson can’t quite get to it at the far post.
76 mins: An Ajer header from a corner hits off the crossbar.
Berge tries to get to the rebound but it’s cleared.
Big let-off for England.
74 mins: Bobb dribbles in the area, but loses control of it and Pickford gathers.
Moments later, Konsa tackles Nusa, and it goes out for a corner.
71 mins: England also make a change.
Reece James replaces Anthony Gordon, which presumably means Eze will play on the left.
England had started to look a bit vulnerable in central midfield without Rice.
68 mins: Two changes for Norway.
Sorloth and Schjelderup are off.
Bobb and Nusa come on.
The water break is now happening.
67 mins: This game remains finely balanced.
Norway have dropped into a more defensive shape again but look dangerous on the counter.
Here’s a look at Norway’s disallowed goal…
62 mins: Norway have had the better of the early stages of the second half.
The subs seem to have hampered England.
They’re missing Rice, while Bellingham has been forced into a more withdrawn role.
60 mins: The injured Ryerson goes off and he is replaced by Aursnes.
59 mins: Ryerson is down for Norway.
It looks like he’ll have to come off, and that’ll be a blow, as he’s one of their better players.
Heggem slots it home after Pickford makes an initial save.
But Haaland is penalised in the build-up for a push on Anderson.
ENGLAND 1-1 NORWAY – GOAL RULED OUT!

He runs the ball straight out of play.
39 mins: Norway go close to a second.

Moments later, Odegaard’s low shot is saved by Pickford.
All of a sudden, Norway are very much in the ascendancy, having spent most of the half on the backfoot.
Against the run of play, Norway take the lead.
Schjelderup gets away from Konsa, and he delivers what looks like an attempted cross, but it creeps into the net as Pickford fails to claim it.
Kane claimed he was fouled in the build-up, but the officials ignore England’s protests.

29 mins: It’s a disappointing effort from Kane.

19 mins: After a long build-up, Anderson eventually crosses.
It appears to take a deflection off Bellingham and goes harmlessly out of play.
An interesting pre-match stat from Opta…
15 mins: Norway are struggling to keep hold of the ball when they get it.
Ståle Solbakken’s side seem content to sit back and play on the counter-attack.
11 mins: It’s been a cagey opening.
Neither side has created much, though most of the play has been in Norway’s half.
5 mins: Sorloth tries to play Haaland through on goal, but Stones intercepts.
The Atlético Madrid star will be disappointed he couldn’t produce a better pass there at the key moment.

The Arsenal star creates space with his pace down the right, but then hits his cross straight out of play.
We’re underway…
