    80. Ooooh, chance there for Bulgaria. Karagaren ventures into the box but his shot goes through the legs of Varane and wide.

    78. First thing Varane has done wrong all evening as he climbs on top of a Bulgarian attacker to give away a free-kick.

    68. Digne opens up his body and lets fly. Naumov pushes it behind. File that one under 'theatrical'.

    FRANCE 1-0 BULGARIA

    66. Dembele has an immediate impact, sliding a lovely ball through to Mbappe. He gives the keeper the eyes and shapes to curl his effort to the far corner but instead drags his shot wide of the near post.

    FRANCE 1-0 BULGARIA

    64. Mbappe has another shot from distance but it's straight at the keeper. Pavard then has a go – from similar range to that goal against Argentina – but slices it wide. Kante makes way for Lemar and Griezmann is replaced by Dembele.

    FRANCE 1-0 BULGARIA

    58. Changes for the visitors. Minchev, Tsvetanov and Dimitar Illiev come on in place of Atanas Iliev, Kraev and Despodov. Vitanov replaced Chochev a few minutes earlier.

    56. Bulgaria win a corner. But the set-piece doesn't beat the man at the near post and the danger is cleared. What a waste.

    FRANCE 1-0 BULGARIA

    49. Bulgaria stand off Mbappe and let him get a shot away. It's punched clear by Naumov. Not the most conventional save but he kept it out.

    HT: FRANCE 1-0 BULGARIA

    It’s been all too easy for France so far, but it took a moment of magic by Antoine Griezmann to break the deadlock.

    Bulgaria have barely managed to get out of their own half and have been grateful to goalkeeper Daniel Naumov for several fine saves.

    Most worryingly for France was the sight of Karim Benzema limping off towards the end of the first period with what looks like a knee injury.

    FRANCE 1-0 BULGARIA

    44. Giroud pulls the trigger with a fierce drive but Naumov pushes it away. Another good save from the Bulgarian stopper.

    FRANCE 1-0 BULGARIA

    41. France are down to 10 men while they wait to replace Benzema but should have increased their lead. Mbappe tees up Griezmann with just the keeper to beat but Naumov pulls off a wonderful save. Giroud is now on to win his 108th cap.

      FRANCE 1-0 BULGARIA

      38. Benzema drops to the floor and that's his his game done. Hopefully that's just a knock and not serious.

      37. That was Griezmann's fourth goal in his last five games for France.

      35. Benzema is getting some treatment after taking a knock to the knee. The strapping is on. Is it worth the risk of keeping him on?

    • Tom Harvey

      FRANCE 1-0 BULGARIA

      29. Mbappe's shot is blocked and loops up into the air. Griezmann tries an acrobatic bicycle kick and sees it take a deflection off a Bulgarian head to fly past Naumov. That's his 37th goal for France.

    • Tom Harvey

      GOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLL FRANCE!!!!

    • Tom Harvey

      FRANCE 0-0 BULGARIA

      27. Another good stop from Naumov to keep out Mbappe's right-footed effort. Pogba then sends in a cross which goes through a sea of legs and to safety,

      19. Lovely clipped pass by Pogba finds Benzema in the six-yard area. He controls the ball beautifully but then fires over on the half-volley.

      FRANCE 0-0 BULGARIA

      14. Griezmann is playing in a free role and causing all sorts of problems. He links up with Mbappe to create a half-chance for Benzema but Bulgaria survive. Griezmann-Mbappe-Benzema, is there a better front three in world football?

      11. Mbappe tees up Benzema just inside the area, but the striker drags his shot wide. Chance, that.
