Hattrick hero Harry Kane says "it's all coming together" for England at the World Cup after they sailed into the last 16 with a 6-1 rout of Panama on Sunday.
Kane's treble and two goals from John Stones, with Jesse Lingard also on the scoresheet, meant England joined Belgium on six points at the top of Group G ahead of the match between the two teams on Thursday.

His five goals took him to the top of the World Cup Golden Boot scoring chart with five goals in two games ahead of the four scored by Cristiano Ronaldo and Romelu Lukaku.
"It's going well, there's still a long way to go, the most important thing is winning games," Kane said. "There's a lot of good players behind me, hopefully I can take it into Thursday's game."
Earlier, Kane told BBC TV he was "proud of the boys".
"We knew it was going to be tough but it's all coming together. It's a brilliant result, fantastic to be through and to do it in this way is great."
