00:00Confirmation now of the England line-up.
00:06Smiling Peter Shilton, beaten only once in the World Cup all the way through.
00:11Pearce is there, Walker is there, the Nottingham Forest contingent.
00:15Terry Butcher is there.
00:18Paul Parker has made that place his own, as indeed has Mark Wright.
00:23After a long time in the wilderness, Mark Wright.
00:26Chris Waddle, David Platt, after his excellent goal, starts to give support to Gascoigne.
00:33And Gary Lineker has John Barnes, one hopes, pretty close to him.
00:40Night sky over the San Paolo Stadium.
01:00The manager alongside his trainers.
01:07And his number two, Don Howe.
01:10And his substitute, Trevor Stephen, giving us a smile.
01:13And he's entitled to that, he's included among the substitutes.
01:18I suppose he will only get his chance if things do not go well.
01:22But there are many who feel that he should have been in the side earlier.
01:27Well, that is what England will be hoping to be over before the night is over.
01:36But what a moment to strike, his first for England.
01:41The African challenge gets the game underway.
01:45And due credit should be paid to the way the African game has come on.
01:501978, Tunisia, they held the West Germans and beat Mexico.
01:54Then in 1982, Cameroon unbeaten, Algeria beating West Germany.
01:591986, England struggled against Morocco.
02:02And Morocco then beat Portugal before going out to the West Germans.
02:06That challenge has been growing.
02:08And also at junior level with Nigeria successful in the Under-16 tournament.
02:18Stuart Pearce.
02:24McEnachie, distinctive hairstyle.
02:30Paul Gascoigne, just distinctive.
02:35Butcher.
02:37Pearce has got well forward.
02:41Waddle, little touch, Platt.
02:44And the flag goes up, but Platt well forward.
02:49And Pearce was well forward too. Barnes was just inside him.
02:52If the header had come back off the defender.
03:01Speed of the ball for Tomas N'Kono of Espanyol.
03:05Places football in Spain.
03:07This is Ebrele.
03:11And Fedde.
03:14Parker's challenge.
03:21McEnachie playing up front.
03:24Cameroon starting with two forward.
03:26And Fedde actually making it three at this moment.
03:30But I suspect would drop back to be slightly behind the other two.
03:37Wang in midfield on the right side.
03:41And Libby seems to have taken a more defensive position.
03:44Koundé across as Lineker chases.
03:50Here's Tomas Libby.
03:56Four players missing in the Cameroon line-up.
03:58Kanabijic, who's had quite a tournament really.
04:01Because he was sent off in the opening game.
04:03And is suspended for the second time because of two bookings.
04:06Denis Onana, Emile Mbou-Mbou.
04:09Who I think will be very much missed in midfield.
04:12As perhaps will Victor Ndip in defence.
04:17For my money, Mbou is the greatest loss.
04:20Mbambiic.
04:23And a little lack of concentration by the skipper, Tato.
04:37Butcher has gone forward down the left.
04:39And McEnachie came back with him.
04:44All back behind the ball for Cameroon.
04:47With Mbambiic the furthest forward.
04:50Now there's a line of five across midfield.
04:52Chris Wattle.
04:53Gennett Pearce, who is the furthest forward of the England attackers.
04:57And Barnes behind the front line.
05:04Not the best of passes.
05:06Handball by Barnes.
05:12Referee was a linesman in England's match against Holland.
05:17And was in charge of Italy against the United States.
05:25Eboele to Pagal.
05:29In fact he takes it on.
05:31The ball is massing.
05:34Koundé.
05:35Tato.
05:44Walker.
05:45And the challenge by Mbambiic.
05:48A chance to foul.
05:53Lineker coming to collect on the left side.
05:56Pearce.
06:00Gascoigne.
06:07Misunderstanding between Lineker and former Tottenham player Wattle.
06:11This is McEnachie.
06:13Mfede.
06:17Useful ball.
06:18And it's running loose.
06:19They've got a man over.
06:20Shilton makes an excellent block.
06:22And denies Mbambiic.
06:24They've got a man spare.
06:26And Shilton at full stretch again from Mfede.
06:30And an indication of what the Africans are capable of doing.
06:33And no wonder Peter Shilton shakes his head.
06:35The defence was poor all across then.
06:38And Mfede with a delightful little chipped up ball.
06:41It ran on.
06:42And suddenly Mbambiic.
06:44That first touch let him down.
06:45Fortunately for England.
06:46Had it been better I don't think Shilton would have had a hope.
06:49And then the follow-up.
06:50Mfede's shot.
06:51And Shilton scampering across his goal.
06:54It was curling away.
06:56But real problems for the England defence.
07:00Well, might have been a little bit heavy touch.
07:02But Peter Shilton did magnificent.
07:04Did exactly what a goalkeeper should do.
07:07Stand up.
07:08Don't give any little glint of the goal.
07:11And he hit it early and really ricocheted off.
07:14Out to Mfede.
07:15And then his shot did have Peter Shilton scampering across.
07:18But it was a superb break.
07:19Good dummy by McEnachie as well which left Oman being clear.
07:22But that's just an example.
07:23They've lulled England for quite a long while.
07:26First opportunity at goal and they could have been one ahead.
07:32Not for the first time in this World Cup.
07:34England are indebted to Peter Shilton.
07:40Many would say.
07:41But for him England would not have taken part in this tournament.
07:53Gascoigne.
08:03Walker.
08:08Butcher.
08:09In the right back position.
08:11Gascoigne.
08:14Free kick against McEnachie.
08:16Free kick.
08:22Gascoigne wanting to get on with it.
08:24Butcher moving up on the left side.
08:27Near side as we look.
08:33No question about the free kick.
08:39Six in a line.
08:40They all push up.
08:41The flag stays down on the far side.
08:43Because the linesmen have gone right to the corner flag.
08:45The decision for offside was given by the referee.
08:52Tatto.
08:54Plenty forward.
08:55Oman Beek gets the header.
08:57While everybody was watching him it seemed to me.
09:04And Mbfede gave it too much.
09:12Good effort by him.
09:13And Peter Shilton doing some pointing.
09:16And it was Peter Shilton who has kept the match at nil-nil.
09:20By his pace off the line to deny Oman Beek.
09:23Really did move very very quickly indeed.
09:31Right.
09:33Looking to draw somebody.
09:34He can move forward to support Waddle.
09:37But Waddle went the other way.
09:38Butcher quite frequently is finding himself.
09:41Either in the left back or the right back position.
09:43He found Pearce well.
09:46Platt.
09:48He's done it again.
09:50Simple English goal.
09:52And the boyish smile is there again.
09:55The manager impassive.
09:57But the crowd delirious.
10:00Started by Butcher.
10:02Crossed by Pearce.
10:04Header by Platt.
10:06England lead in the 25th minute.
10:10Second goal.
10:11Second consecutive goal for David Platt.
10:15The replay doesn't show the pass from Butcher.
10:17For which he deserves credit.
10:19Good header across the goalkeeper.
10:21Good cross.
10:27It's a superb cross.
10:28Great downward header as well.
10:31And really these are the positions England have got to look for.
10:34It was a perfect cross.
10:35The Kono comes to the cross.
10:36Hasn't got anywhere near it.
10:38And really that...
10:39You've got to give credit to Bobby Robson.
10:41He's made the switch.
10:42David Platt into the midfield.
10:44The orders are to get into the penalty area.
10:46Try and get on the end of crosses.
10:47There he is.
10:48Fine finish.
10:49And just really an important time for England.
10:51When they were having a bad 10 minutes.
10:56Emphasizing the importance...
11:00...of the save by Peter Shilton.
11:02Terry Butcher who started the move.
11:04Down the left side.
11:06And...
11:09...Pierce had got forward well.
11:11And hit a beauty curling away from the camera and goalkeeper.
11:2552nd different country that England have played.
11:30Find themselves a goal behind.
11:39It's a contest between the...
11:41...oldest...
11:42...football body.
11:45England founded in 1863.
11:47And the youngest, Cameroon, not till 1959.
11:50Not a member of FIFA until 3 years later.
12:08It's interesting to see the reaction...
12:10...on the African players.
12:12Now that they're a goal down.
12:13Whether they can go on playing as they were playing.
12:16Which was well.
12:17Here's Oman Biyik.
12:19Challenge with Walker.
12:26Right back was Waddle.
12:28The problems...
12:29...at the moment...
12:30...under Pomniachis.
12:32Butcher.
12:34Bounce off as himself then moves away.
12:38Butcher gives it away.
12:50Magal.
12:53Able to switch it.
12:56Eboele.
12:57To waiting.
12:58And a good header by Libby.
13:02Where were you again?
13:03Says Peter Shilton.
13:05Met it well.
13:06But didn't make it count.
13:08And a move that switched from one side to the other.
13:10Ended with Mfede's cross.
13:12And Walker...
13:13...was nowhere near Libby.
13:15Chief executive of the Football Association.
13:20And a goal.
13:22And a goal.
13:24And a goal.
13:26And a goal.
13:28And a goal.
13:29And a goal.
13:306 minutes of the half left.
13:31And Wright has lost his man...
13:33...and a poor touch again.
13:36Libby once more.
13:39Three golden opportunities.
13:41The Lions of Cameroon...
13:43...have spurned.
13:45One for Oman Biyik.
13:47Although the greatest credit...
13:48...should go to Shilton.
13:51Libby with the header...
13:52...and Libby now with the shot.
13:53His control was awful.
13:55England 1-0 ahead.
13:57They had, what, 3, 4 very close saves.
14:00And I'm sure Bobby Robson at half-time would say
14:02they've got to get the ball wide.
14:04That's where they've been at their most dangerous.
14:05The goal came from that.
14:06And Paul Parker and Stuart Pearce have got in
14:08several good crossing positions.
14:11Good advantage play by the referee.
14:14Wright wins the challenge.
14:16He's been fittingly aggressive.
14:20Again they spread it out.
14:21Tatto has come forward.
14:23Tries for the early header.
14:24Barnes didn't collect it.
14:27McGuang. Tatto.
14:33It's a throw.
14:38And as you can see from the seconds ticking away,
14:43we've played a minute and a half of stoppage time allowed.
14:46And that's all we're going to get.
14:48Half-time.
14:49England had the lead by 1-0.
14:52Credit to Peter Shilton.
14:55Credit to David Platt, to Pearce and Butcher
14:58who were involved in the move.
14:59An excellent cross by Pearce with Platt meeting it
15:02with his head to score in the 25th minute.
15:05But there are many points of debit on the balance sheet
15:07of Bobby Robson, surely.
15:09And things to be sorted out in the second half
15:11when I'm sure we're going to see the presence
15:13of Albert Roger Milla.
15:17We see that there is a substitution made.
15:20There is Peter Beardsley.
15:23And he's come on in place of John Barnes.
15:28And also on is Roger Milla.
15:34No surprise, we're seeing the two number nines.
15:36The one who's gone off for Cameroon is McGuang.
15:46Eighteen times in this tournament,
15:48including David Platt's goal against Belgium.
15:51A player has come off the substitute's bench to score.
15:55Roger Milla has scored four.
15:59His side are in need of him now.
16:01And England will have to watch him very closely indeed.
16:11Butcher's first ball is long.
16:15Goes all the way to Nkono.
16:25Eboele. Milla's first touch.
16:27Challenge from behind by right.
16:32Quite often has come out from the back.
16:35The challenge quite a long way forward.
16:44Milla.
16:47Fede.
16:50Fede again.
16:52Again the referee played good advantage.
16:54He's had a good match, the man from Mexico, so far.
17:00Oman Big forced away by Walker.
17:11Milla.
17:15Fede.
17:17All backed by Gary Lineker.
17:19And the final effort.
17:23Not one to trouble anybody.
17:27Fede is a little prone to want to have a shot at goal.
17:35Oman Big on the edge of the six yard area.
17:37Makanaki is behind him.
17:39One by Walker.
17:41Cleared by Pierce.
17:43Not killed by Eboele.
17:44Nice touch from Beardsley.
17:46Waddle in possession.
17:47Lineker to the right.
17:49Parker getting up to support inside.
17:51Lineker now.
17:52Goes on.
17:53Lineker uses him by not.
17:54Gets a good strike, but over.
18:06Five appearances in this tournament.
18:10Scored once against the Republic of Ireland.
18:16Play by Gascoigne.
18:20Waddle.
18:21This is better.
18:23Pierce.
18:30And Nkono and Platt went for the ball.
18:34But Nkono was intent on getting the ball as well.
18:39And a goal kick is the result.
18:45And I don't think there's any complaint from Platt or any of the other England players.
18:49It was a low ball hit in.
18:51Platt made the run across, but the goalkeeper's intention was to go for the ball.
18:55It might not have been 100% successful, but intent is what counts.
19:02Fedde.
19:05Miller.
19:06Pagal.
19:10England tightening it down the middle.
19:12And has Miller!
19:14And the referee says penalty.
19:24By Gascoigne.
19:26And England concede a penalty.
19:31Miller sweetly away.
19:34Gascoigne turned, looked at the referee.
19:38In hope, one suspects.
19:42But his hopes were not realised.
19:45And once again, England's hopes are in the hands of Peter Shilton.
19:52Koundé, who's going to take it?
20:01With a little shuffle, scores!
20:07Dejected Paul Gascoigne.
20:11Delighted followers of Cameroon.
20:14Disappointed Peter Shilton.
20:18But one has to say, that on the balance of play, Cameroon deserve to be level in this contest.
20:25Peter Shilton going the right way there.
20:28Just a fingertip away, but it was struck pretty firmly.
20:32One of those incidents in a penalty area.
20:36Paul Gascoigne, just back as the last man.
20:39Just dived in a little bit.
20:41Roger Miller, letting the ball run.
20:43Almost waiting for the tackle.
20:45He went down and really, as soon as he fell, he instinctively knew it was going to be a penalty.
20:53Substitution for Cameroon.
20:56They brought on Ekeke.
21:04And he's replaced Mfede.
21:07So 1-1.
21:10With 17 and a bit minutes gone in the second half.
21:17Waddle.
21:22Foul by Pagal.
21:27It's a question of pride for England.
21:29The challenge has been thrown down.
21:33And in the city that was often beloved of Lord Nelson.
21:37Lord Nelson.
21:39England now expects every man to do his duty.
21:52With a probable strike.
22:04Parker.
22:06Waddle.
22:07Oh, he's given it away.
22:09Omanbeek in possession.
22:11Miller behind.
22:14Good play by Walker, jockeying his man.
22:17And McEnachie's shot is over the top.
22:24Caught a deflection there.
22:25But they were caught, England, three against two at one stage.
22:28But it looks as if an infringement's been given.
22:31But it's going to be a huge test of character now for England.
22:34You hear the word, there's Walker's pace.
22:36Keeping up with Omanbeek.
22:39Please it's square.
22:53Ekeke.
22:56And again.
23:00Miller.
23:02Makes it look so easy.
23:03Ekeke.
23:05And Cameroon lead.
23:11So smooth through the heart of Bobby Robson's England.
23:23Just look at the expressions on England faces and the reaction in the crowd.
23:33It looked and it was so easy.
23:38Lovely play and Ekeke applied a lovely finish.
23:46Peter Shilton did all he could.
23:49But this time there was no help from a Cameroon player not keeping his head when it mattered most.
23:59Well, right through the heart of the defence there.
24:02England had the sufficient numbers there.
24:04The ball was played in by Ekeke to Miller, who really had his back to the goal, was allowed to turn.
24:09And then Ekeke kept the run going.
24:11There's Terry Butcher trying to get the lads around him and Peter Shilton to somehow settle back down
24:18and try and get into this game at the moment.
24:20I have to say Cameroon enjoying a superb spell of football.
24:23Roger Miller made such a huge difference since his arrival.
24:26His awareness and touch through that middle was superb.
24:32They played 21 minutes in the second half.
24:38One of the Italian papers this morning talked about the match and said from England's point of view
24:46it will either be a triumph or a disaster.
24:52England going in, it might be said, with more to lose than any of the other quarter-finalists.
24:59Reputation of a former winner against the African challenge.
25:06And the African challenge at the moment is on top.
25:16Terry Butcher wanted, I'm sure, Cameroon to get on with it.
25:21But when England were one up, they seemed to hurry the ball into play,
25:25whereas Cameroon waste invaluable seconds.
25:27And I'm sure that's going to be part of this remaining quarter of an hour.
25:33Terry Butcher's expression then seemed to be lost in the mists of time.
25:38And that might be said of the team.
25:43Gascon.
25:45Plants.
25:47Oh.
25:50She's held in his hands briefly.
25:54The chance not taken.
25:57But the clean break down the middle.
26:00The lovely pass from Gascon.
26:02Perhaps lift the team to make other chances.
26:06That's what will have to happen for Bobby Robertson's men.
26:11Great interchange between the two midfield players.
26:14Paul Gascon's slide rule pass.
26:15David Platt doing everything right to get it into the shooting position.
26:18Just clipping it wide.
26:19But to be fair, he's got two vital goals.
26:22He can't suddenly point the finger at one opportunity laid on like that.
26:28He's entitled to feel pleased with his contribution.
26:36Notably Gascon.
26:41Waddle.
26:48Miller.
26:51Eboele.
26:57England's ball.
26:58And Miller kicks it away.
27:01He makes the point.
27:10Some debate about the ball and the two referees confirm.
27:13Michel Vautreau, the fourth official.
27:18It's been changed or changed back.
27:20I'm not sure which.
27:22Right.
27:25Walker.
27:30Eleven minutes on the watch.
27:32Gascon again trying to get things going for England.
27:35Omenbeek.
27:41Libby.
27:44Support wide from Eboele.
27:52Omenbeek.
27:56Miller's touch.
27:57And the backheel attempt by Omenbeek.
28:01Out of the mistake by Pearce.
28:09Another head-shaking, heart-stopping moment.
28:15McEnachie.
28:20Omenbeek.
28:25Libby has gone ahead to hold it up.
28:27Libby went offside.
28:31England being toyed with a bit on the edge of the box.
28:34Look at this.
28:36Platt.
28:38Gascon.
28:40Waddle.
28:42Platt.
28:44Lineker.
28:46Parker.
28:50Pearce on the left side.
28:52All the other England players are the other way.
28:55Gascon.
28:57Beardsley.
29:00Move was well-ended by Massing.
29:02But England keep the pressure on.
29:04Right.
29:07Platt.
29:10Beardsley.
29:12Way by the three for Koundé.
29:24This was the moment when Pearce didn't play it back.
29:27And the backheel attempt by Omenbeek.
29:30Just clipped the heel.
29:46Squigg seemed almost to be in celebration.
29:58Waddle or Gascon.
30:00Line of five on the 18-yard line.
30:05Won by Massing.
30:07Right.
30:08Lineker.
30:09Penalty.
30:11Turned on it beautifully, Lineker.
30:13And Mkono complains.
30:16But there was no doubt about that.
30:18As Lineker turned, he had his legs swept away from him.
30:24I agree.
30:25Turned it there and he's stretched him.
30:27A combined effort, the two defenders.
30:30And suddenly, just as I was thinking we need a little mini-miracle, there it is.
30:34And he's got to take the penalty himself.
30:38Massing who did most to bring him down and most to revive the hopes of Robson's England.
30:48Lineker against Mkono.
30:53Each one or the other.
30:54They were both in Spain at the same time and Mkono is still there.
31:01Never a more vital penalty for England.
31:15It's all square.
31:22And suddenly the expressions change.
31:25And it's the flags of St George and the captain who's been substituted
31:31who come to their feet to demand more.
31:34What coolness under pressure from Gary Lineker.
31:39Well, Gary Lineker's missed, some people reckon, one or two chances.
31:42Hasn't been quite a sharp finishing, but what character.
31:45A superb penalty.
31:47The moment it left his foot, there was never any question right into the corner.
31:51All square, 2-0, and what drama have we still got left?
32:02Six and a half minutes remaining of the 90 before extra time will be required.
32:13A match of four goals and two penalties.
32:17And a match which has swung one way and then the other in terms of scoring.
32:23A match in which Cameroon have certainly had far more of the play
32:29and to date have played the better football.
32:31But it's what happens from now on that will be decisive.
32:39Pearce, Platt, Waddle.
32:45There's a name to be made here, that's for sure.
32:48Lineker!
32:52Just away from him.
33:04McEnachie goes on, Miller in possession.
33:07Oh, good save by Peter Shilton from Omambique.
33:14We're inside the last two minutes of the 90.
33:22Fine strike, fine save.
33:28Walker.
33:33Both sides looking to decide it without the extra time.
33:36This is Lineker.
33:42Two waiting, others coming from behind.
33:44Chris Waddle is one of them.
33:47Stuart Pearce, Lineker.
33:51Platt in the middle, so is Gascoigne.
33:54But the ball is with Tatto.
33:56Gives it away.
33:58So does Peter Beardsley.
34:03Omambique.
34:06Liteness of movement of some of these players.
34:12African ball.
34:16Still it's the England ten.
34:19As we move into the last minutes.
34:23Eboele.
34:28Trevor Stephen.
34:35Parker.
34:36Just gets enough of it.
34:39Koundé.
34:42Tatto.
34:44McEnachie down the middle.
34:46Goes now with Walker, gets ahead of Walker.
34:49But there was no angle.
35:00And as the goal kick is taken.
35:03We are now playing the time that the referee from Mexico City is allowing for injuries and stoppages.
35:11This is McEnachie.
35:13Tried to turn on it, but Walker didn't allow in the room.
35:26And the bandage right being returned to the frame.
35:40Referee just going to check.
35:47Hasn't yet blown the final whistle.
35:52But he's now asking for the ball.
35:54No he's not, he's asking for the throw to be taken.
35:58Miller.
35:59Ekeke.
36:01Eboele.
36:14Trevor Stephen.
36:17Referee has had two checks of the watch.
36:23Eboele.
36:26McEnachie.
36:29Omanbeek.
36:32Great shots of tight, tight, tight from the bench from Don Howe.
36:39Tatto.
36:44Koundé.
36:48It's to be extra time in the last of the quarterfinals.
36:552-2.
36:57Cameroon taking control of the game.
37:00England coming back with Lineker scoring from the penalty spot.
37:06They will play a further 30 minutes and the Oman Miller has to carry on during that time.
37:12And if nothing is resolved by then, this quarterfinal will end with a penalty competition.
37:18Well we don't know what's going to happen in this next half an hour.
37:22And understandably there's a lot of disappointment with England's performance.
37:25But I think on the other hand we should give a lot of credit to the Cameroon.
37:29Because they have beaten Argentina, Romania and Colombia.
37:33They've got some excellent players, good skill, good technique.
37:36And they are in these quarterfinals with good value.
37:40Because they have had some fine performances.
37:43And I think we're back in this game now as they kick off.
37:46But it's going to be a very hard half an hour.
37:52Cameroon attacking Peter Shilton who is to our right.
37:59Immediately the cry of tight, tight goes up again from the bench.
38:11Trevor Stephen.
38:14In the sort of wide position that some would have liked him to have found a little earlier.
38:29And Mark Wright at the moment just playing on the right side.
38:33Parker and Walker the two in the centre of the defence as the markers.
38:37Pierce and Trevor Stephen wide.
38:41Obviously Wright in no position to hit the ball with that cut.
38:45Therefore it's what used to be called a passenger.
38:49I'm sure he'll contribute every possible ounce of energy that he has in his body.
38:54But he's not the England central defender.
38:58It's free for calling what you like. He's missing from the back.
39:03Armambic, Libby and Wright able to collect.
39:15Stephen.
39:18Beardsley makes the run.
39:20Missing goes first.
39:24Koundé.
39:42Two forward for the Cameroon.
39:45Miller on the left.
39:48Gets the touch from Ekeke.
39:50Clearance by Parker.
39:54Also it might be said he's now fulfilling the role that he would prefer.
39:59There's no worries about Paul Parker playing down the middle.
40:02Alongside there's Walker only perhaps that the pairing together would lack a little bit of height.
40:07But as you say Mark Wright really playing on the wide role of midfield right flank.
40:13Trevor Stephen still playing the right back role.
40:15And it really is a case at this stage of just saving yourself in small verse.
40:20But England have been through extra time before.
40:23And I'm sure everyone watching would like a similar ending.
40:31Armambic.
40:35Pagal.
40:38Committed to. Here's Ekeke.
40:42Pagal.
40:48McEnachie.
40:52He's turned well. He's crossed well.
40:57Still dangerous Armambic.
40:59Good save by Peter Shilton who stayed.
41:01Didn't come for the swirling ball in the air.
41:05And came up with the right decision.
41:10After Trevor Stephen I think it was had made the initial clearance there.
41:14Yes.
41:16Now they all waited.
41:17And Armambic won it in the air.
41:21Tato.
41:22McEnachie.
41:27Ekeke.
41:28Miller.
41:29Cleared by Pierce.
41:31Only to Armambic.
41:34Had to come back to get it.
41:35And then Walsh's pass too.
41:38And thumps the left foot.
41:46They are unbelievably smooth in their movements.
41:52Had the space.
41:54Struck it.
41:59Turn by Miller.
42:00Ekeke.
42:05Tato.
42:06Ekeke lets it run.
42:07McEnachie wasn't alive to the possibility.
42:10Gascoigne drives the limbs again.
42:14And here's Lineker.
42:17And he's brought down.
42:19A penalty.
42:21Massing again in the challenge with the goalkeeper.
42:26A penalty is given.
42:29Gary Lineker played through the middle.
42:32The goalkeeper and the defender converged.
42:34Lineker went down.
42:36A fine ball again by Paul Gascoigne.
42:39It really cut through the heart.
42:41As earlier the Cameroonian side had cut through the heart.
42:47Wild challenge.
42:49The goalkeeper got more of him than the defender.
42:53No question a penalty.
42:55Gary Lineker rounded Nicono.
42:57Brought him down.
42:58Magnificent ball by Paul Gascoigne.
43:00Two walking wounded combining.
43:03Gascoigne well deserved sweep because he has been the one that
43:07you always felt something was going to come from him at all.
43:10And there he is giving England a great opportunity.
43:13And I wonder what's going through Gary Lineker's mind now.
43:22He's done it once.
43:24Can he do it again?
43:25Yellow card shown to Nicono.
43:29That's his second of the competition.
43:37So it was more his arm wrapped around than the challenge of Masik.
43:41But neither was going to get the ball.
43:48Nicono yet to retire to his line.
43:54Bobby Robson turns away to go back to the bench.
43:57He looks back again over his shoulder.
44:00Stands staring and shouting as in comes Lineker and scores!
44:04England lead by three to two.
44:08Two goals for Gary Lineker from the penalty spot.
44:13We're now playing stoppage time at the end of the first period of extra time.
44:19It was fairly straight but the goalkeeper had committed himself.
44:24And perhaps fairly isn't quite the right word.
44:28I think it was one of those where Gary Lineker had so long to think about it
44:31by the time the booking had finished.
44:33He thought about putting it in the save spot and thought
44:35no I'm just going to hit this and hope.
44:37Unfortunately Nicono went that way thinking he might.
44:43Corner challenged by Pearson McEnachie.
44:50Cameroon who thought that they had it won with two goals in a four minute spell.
44:56Second one coming in the 65th minute are now behind.
45:01McEnachie with the corner.
45:03And it gets across. Somehow brushed the brow of Gascoigne.
45:08And it's half time in extra time and England are in front again.
45:15They led. Cameroon came back to lead 2-1.
45:19Lineker equalised in the 82nd minute.
45:22And now in the last minute of the first period of extra time
45:25Lineker has put England in front.
45:30Well quite amazing. There's Bobby Robson.
45:33He looks stunned doesn't he?
45:35Thinking to himself now 3-2 ahead.
45:3815 minutes to go. It's a quick change round.
45:41Terry Butcher up on his feet.
45:43The clinch fish shouting at those England lads.
45:48And I'm sure there's no one going out to put the kettle on at the moment
45:51because this could be such a nerve tingling moment.
45:56I'm sure the clock is going to tick away very very slowly.
46:04Cameroon came into this tournament as the 500-1 outsiders.
46:09For the quarter finals they were down to 20-1.
46:12And at one stage it seemed that the odds would shorten
46:15and they were going to go through to the semi-final.
46:18Now they are being asked to come back the way England have.
46:27Determination. Dogging spirit.
46:30Sometimes in spite of the way things have gone for the England team
46:34have brought England to this position.
46:43Some of the crowd are shouting they're going to Wembley.
46:47It's Turin if England make it to the semi-final.
46:57We've seen a lot of the African side's ability.
47:01Their skill on the ball. Their fluid movement.
47:05Their organisation which Africans were thought by some not to have.
47:09We're now going to learn something about their heart.
47:12That England have shown in abundance.
47:14And no one more than this man, Paul Gascoigne.
47:17Lineker! Oh he's wide!
47:22Goodness me what an excellent run by Paul Gascoigne.
47:28Whatever is to be the future for England
47:31This man has had an excellent World Cup.
47:42Won by messing.
47:45A KK. He was the man who gave Cameroon a 2-1 lead.
48:00Lineker. Right. Waddle is out on the left hand side.
48:07Right in no hurry to play it there.
48:12Gascoigne. England's man of the match.
48:17Waddle. Possession is conceded.
48:25Two up. Marked by three.
48:29Gascoigne.
48:32So determined to lead the recovery.
48:36After his penalty started things going the way of Cameroon.
48:44His foul produced the penalty from which Koundé scored.
48:54Miller. Still Miller.
49:00Ball had gone for the corner. Came off Trevor Stephen.
49:06Three minutes remaining.
49:12Eboele. Plenty forward.
49:19And the ball in the hands of the Bank of England.
49:30Not the moment surely.
49:34Koundé.
49:38McEnachie.
49:40Libby.
49:44The two in the crowd blowing for the final whistle.
49:46But they're a little bit early.
49:47Won by Parker.
49:49He's looked.
49:50Shawn is itself in the middle of the defence.
49:54Pass from right.
49:58Well, probably brought some junk top of his seat there, Mark.
50:01Right, knocking that one back.
50:03He wasn't too pleased with Chris Waddle when the ball was played down the line.
50:06And he tried a backheel because that was the stage to try and take it into the corner.
50:10Waste a few seconds.
50:12But by giving possession away, just at this late stage, does give Cameroon a chance.
50:29Beardsley.
50:30Turned away from a rather poor challenge by amassing a rather tired challenge.
50:35Waddle.
50:37The lesson learned, one hopes.
50:40Just quietly.
50:41Back to Pearce.
50:43Gascoigne offers himself just forward of Pearce.
50:53Again, there are heads and hands on the England bench.
50:57Miller.
51:00And the judge to have used his forearm to help the control.
51:05And the referee wants words with Miller because of the action that Miller took.
51:11And if he goes on with the words, his World Cup could end in a rather sorry state.
51:33Left on the watch.
51:36Messing for Cameroon.
51:40Every Englishman back except Lineker.
51:43Eboele.
51:47Poor ball.
51:48Comfortably covered by Platt.
51:53Waddle has Lineker on the touchline.
51:58Waddle again.
52:02And we're now playing the time that the referee is allowing for stoppages.
52:10Keep it here is the shout from the bench.
52:13No point in crossing it.
52:17Stephen.
52:19Runs it for the corner.
52:21Puts it across.
52:23And neither Lineker could touch it.
52:28Nor David Platt.
52:30Last chance for Cameroon.
52:32Libby in possession.
52:33The referee looks at his watch.
52:36Pagal.
52:38Eboele.
52:39England are in the semi-final.
52:45Determination and a riding of luck has taken Bobby Rolsten's team through.
52:53Cameroon will know now how the Belgians felt.
52:57But the smiles are all English.
53:01That's a great picture there.
53:03Bobby Rolsten and Paul Gascoigne.
53:06Two men have seen a few ups and downs over the last few months.
53:12But both played an important role.
53:14First of all Bobby Rolsten of course selecting David Platt who scored that vital first goal.
53:19And then Paul Gascoigne an inspiration throughout.
53:23And I'm sure everyone delighted back home having hung in there at times.
53:30And so England go through to the semi-finals.
53:34They've given themselves the platform to find a true performance against West Germany in a contest between two former winners.
53:49.
