Jude Bellingham scored twice as England survived a late scare to beat Mexico 3-2 and advance to the World Cup quarter-finals. The midfielder’s double inside six first-half minutes put England in control, though a red card and two Mexican goals made the closing stages far more tense than expected.

◆ CheckLive verdict
Slight edge — England
Mexico’s five-match winning run meets England’s five-game unbeaten streak in a finely balanced World Cup last-16. England’s superior mental composure gives them a slight edge, reflected in a 54% lean — close, but the Three Lions look the safer pick.
