00:00Izan Hajsafi leads Iran into this contest.
00:06Their fourth-most cap player going into his third Royal Cup.
00:11The players as he's now customary taking the knee before kick-off.
00:19And it is Iran who will get Royal Cup Group B underway.
00:24Not quite have the room to dig it out of his feet and get across the way.
00:29Here's Saka though now.
00:34And Mason Mount left frustrated at the first real glaring opening for England.
00:42Well, Bellingham's in there!
00:45And what a moment for the teenager.
00:49His first England goal comes on the big occasion.
00:54Maguire does well.
01:01And battered in by Saka.
01:04England tighten their grip.
01:06Cane across and another! What a goal! What a goal!
01:15What a goal! What a goal!
01:25Beautifully constructed and tremendously finished by Raheem Sterling.
01:30And England in total command!
01:40Eddie Torabi coming on.
01:45Wonderful dancing feet!
01:47And it's another goal!
01:48What a goal!
01:49Well, Bukayo Saka at the double for England.
01:56Bellingham goes sliding.
01:59Goal is at it.
02:01Oh, that's neatly worked!
02:03And put away by Tarami.
02:05And Iran on the board.
02:11And the noise around the stadium.
02:14Absolutely incredible.
02:16An opportunity for Rashford.
02:18On he goes! It's five for England.
02:21Instant impact!
02:23From Marcus Rashford.
02:29The type of opposition.
02:32I particularly think if they are to get out of the groups.
02:34It's going to be close to being offside that.
02:38And Rashford.
02:39On he goes once more.
02:40And Grealish is there!
02:43And an all-Manchester combination.
02:46Makes it six for England.
02:51Well, Jack Grealish benefiting from Callum Wilson's work.
02:55Marcus Rashford playing Wilson through.
02:57Oh!
03:01And Asbun is in!
03:03Oh!
03:04And Asbun can't finish!
03:06I think there was a very telling touch from Pickford in there.
03:09It certainly was.
03:18Pickfords.
03:22Well, he's checking for a possible penalty here.
03:24And he's going to have a look.
03:28Such a fast delivery coming in.
03:31There's no doubt there's...
03:33There's some short pulling, we'll see.
03:37And it is going to be a penalty to Iran.
03:42And very coolly done.
03:44And he's after the ball.
03:48There you go.
03:50No little satisfaction for Carlos Quiroz.
03:52In the manner of their second half performance.
03:54Certainly improved.
03:55Two goals from Bakayosaka.
03:56They have beaten Iran by six goals...
