Switzerland 0 - 0 England
3 mins: Cheeky from Harry Kane. Pickford sends a ball forward to him and he brings it down before giving it to Lingard. Kane follows up with a run to the right of the box and Lingard finds him with a return pass. Sommer is slightly off his line and Kane goes for the chip and hits the crossbar!
Switzerland 0 - 0 England
6 mins: England are persisting with playing the ball out from the back, Switzerland press them high and win back the ball, Shaqiri takes a shot and Pickford makes a sharp, low save but the whistle goes for offside against Switzerland.
Switzerland 0 - 0 England
9 mins: Rodriguez looks sharp out on the left for Switzerland, he pulls it inside for Shaqiri who looks to line up a shot but lets the ball run too far away. Instead he gives it to Mbabu, who crosses it into the box and Maguire clears it away.
Switzerland 0 - 0 England
12 mins: A straight ball from the Swiss defence splits the English defence and Freuler runs onto the ball and strikes one! Pickford has it covered and turns the shot into an easy save.
Switzerland 0 - 0 England
15 mins: Rodriguez wins a free kick against Alexander-Arnold. Switzerland come forward with the ball but lose it. Alexander-Arnold gives the ball to Dele Alli who runs it into the box, he's tackled but luckily the ball comes to Kane, who slips it past the defence to Sterling in the left side of the box. Sterling side foots a weak shot and Sommer saves it. Another great chance for England to go in front!
Switzerland 0 - 0 England
18 mins: Schar and Delph dive in to contest a ball and Delph is the one penalised for it. Schar stays down a while before limping off the pitch in a showcase of his amazing acting. The whistle goes and he sprints back on into position as Switzerland send the free kick forward with a long ball that England deal with.
Switzerland 0 - 0 England
21 mins: Good pressure from Switzerland force England to retreat despite a promising move going forward. Maguire mistimes a pass Rose and the left-back dives forward, takes out Mbabu and gets a yellow card.

24 mins: Sommer boots a long ball up to Seferovic, who brings the ball down and shoots! But sends it way over the bar.
Switzerland 0 - 0 England
27 mins: Switzerland attack on the counter, down the left side of the pitch. The ball is brought back inside and given to Xhaka who sends a shot wide of goal.
Jesse Lingard is put in the book now as he's a little late in a tackle on Xhaka which results in a yellow card.
Switzerland 0 - 0 England
30 mins: Another opportunity goes begging for England! Alexander-Arnold gets forward on the right wing as he has so often for Liverpool this season. He delivers a low cross into the box, the ball bounces in front of Sterling who misses it! A touch on the ball would have sent it into the goal.
