Half time: And goalless it remains. Some promising signs from England, certainly there have been less mistakes in their performance today, all that's lacking now is the goal.
Switzerland 0 - 0 England
Despite the chances that England have had, the game itself is just a little lacklustre.
With a team like England where the creativity in mid-field is limited, the thrill and excitement comes from scoring the chances they create, because they don't make many.
They could end up ruing those chances at the end of this game.
