Alli's place in the starting 11 was in doubt, but he delivered with that headed goal.
72 mins: Just as we were saying England were looking the likelier to score, Sweden break and have a golden chance to pull one back. Berg collects in the box and shoots on the turn, but Pickford gets his fingertips on it to push the ball over. The England stopper has been immense today.
70 mins: England looking much the likelier to score the next goal here. Alli and Sterling seeing a lot of the ball in particular.

John Guidetti and Martin Olsson are on, Emil Forsberg and Ola Toivonen off.

Half time: Sweden 0-1 England
England head in at 1-0 up at half time thanks to a Harry Maguire header from a corner. A cagey opening from both teams but the Three Lions finished the half strongly and should have doubled their lead through Raheem Sterling just before half time.
Sweden will need to show a lot more in the second half.
45 mins: Oh Raheem Sterling, if only you could finish... The England number 10 shows lovely control to collect a long ball, he's onside this time and faced with Olsen, but the Swedish 'keeper gets a touch as Sterling tries to round him and the defenders track back to crowd out the attack. England should be 2-0 up.
43 mins: Sterling misses what appears to be a golden opportunity to double the lead after being played through and is one on one with Olsen, but shoots straight at the 'keeper. Luckily for the Man City man, the whistle goes for offside to spare his blushes.
1966 and all that...
England have now scored 10 goals at the 2018 World Cup. The last time they reached double figures was when they netted 11 on the way to winning the title in 1966. Omen?
39 mins: Sweden haven't exactly been roused into life after falling behind. Strangely serene pace to this game still.
Set-piece specialists
Maguire outjumped Emil Forsberg for the goal, with the Swedes appearing to be drawn to the theat from Kane. It was a lovely corner delivery from Young.
Maguire, the man who has spoken of his journey from watching major tournaments as a fan to now playing in them, has a first World Cup goal.
That Maguire goal was timed on 31 minutes. It had been a cagey game up until that point. A lot discussion before the match centered on the set-piece strengths of the teams, and so it proved. England have offered little from open play, but they won't care - they're ahead in a World Cup quarter-final. Sweden will need to come out of their shell.
Harry Maguire powers home a header from an Ashley Young corner! Set-piece kings England do it again.
GOAL!!! Sweden 0-1 England!
Both teams with just the one effort on goal each so far - England's coming from a long-range Kane effort. Cagey opening.
24 mins: Trippier breaks down the right for England and tries to square for a lurking Kane in the box, but Swedish 'keeper Robin Olsen is alert to the danger and gathers the ball.
Last few minutes seeing England press more.
22 mins: England looking to get the ball wide and use Kieran Trippier and Ashley Young as much as possible. Sweden with 9 men behind the ball.
There's half a shout for a penalty from England as a cross comes in and hits a Swedish hand, but it's never a penalty - the ball struck from about a yard away, and the hand was in a natural position.
20 mins: First chance for England. Raheem Sterling breaks with speed, before laying off to Harry Kane on the edge of the box. The England skipper snaps at his shot and it flashes about three yards wide. First sight at goal for the England marksman.
It's hard to understand, being outside the country, how quickly the obsession with the team has reached fever pitch in England.
LEGENDS MAKE WAGER
Former England star David Beckham and Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic have made a wager ahead of today's game, predictably involving an IKEA shopping trip. Check out more here:
16 mins: Sweden starting to link up better now, Claesson in particular is looking to get on the all and feed it though to the frontmen. England snuff out the danger, but the Swedes growing into the game.
13 mins: Viktor Claesson lets fly from about 25 yards out. It's way over, but England 'keeper Jordan Pickford is furious with the England defence for allowing the Swede to get his shot off trouble-free.
10 mins: So far, so calm in Samara. No chances mustered from either side, England with around 75% of the ball.
A far cry from the action we saw in Kazan between Brazil and Belgium at the moment.
8 mins: First test for England from the long throw of Viktor Claesson, the ball is launched into the box but hits a Swedish hand and a free-kick is given. Both teams looking to capitalize on set-piece strengths today.
5 mins: England save settled into their passing rhythm a little more now, but still no signs of urgency to get forward.
3 mins: Some early nerves from both teams with misplaced passes and poor first touches. Quiet opening so far in Samara.
