Last chance goes to waste
England suddenly break and Gordon finds Palmer in plenty of space, unfortunately for England, his shot is straight at Oblak. That might be that.

Nice from Rice
Rice exchanges passes and unleashes a clever first-time shot as he enters the box. It ends up well wide, though.

Another dreadful set piece
England follow Slovenia's lead in completely wasting a dead ball opportunity. It's Trippier's turn to send the ball over everyone.
73'
Kane does well
Walker pings the ball in to Kane and he does well to turn Bijol who yanks him down for a yellow card and a free kick in a great position.

Palmer on
It's a terrible free kick and England now have the chance to make a change, brining on Chelsea revelation Cole Palmer for Saka.

Danger from Slovenia
A ball over the top causes England all sorts of problems and a poor touch from Guehi sees him forced into bringing Sporar down for a free kick in a decent position.

Lovely from Kane
Kane drops back and fires a wonderful pass over the Slovenia defence and into Bellingham but the Real Madrid superstar can't gather the ball.
51'
Another corner
England look far more direct and Kane's cross is blocked out for another corner.

England corner
Bellingham does well in the Slovenia box, can England capitalise?

Slovenia battling away
This is encouraging for Slovenia as they enjoy a long spell in England's final third.

Decent hit from Foden
Foden thwacks it towards the top corner but so good is Oblak he makes his save look easy.
35'
Free kick for England
Saka wins a free kick on Bijol in a decent area.

Kane... straight at the keeper
Rice does very well to keep England on the attack and gives Harry Kane the ball, the Bayern striker tries to curl one in but it's straight at Oblak.
31'
First corner to England
Foden sends a brilliant ball into the box and Slovenia do well to send it out for a corner.

England upping the tempo
England have a decent spell in Slovenia's final third but just can't get the final ball through.

England with the ball, but not much else

Another yellow
Clément Turpin isn't afraid to get his cards out early. Janza gets booked this time for holding back Saka, and he'll miss the last 16 if Slovenia progress.

Lovely from Janza
Slovenia win a free kick out wide and Janza sends in another lovely cross. No one gets on the end of it again.

Ouch!
Trippier tries to stop Karnicnik starting a counter by sticking his boot out. He not only fails, but gets a yellow card too, the game's first.
16'
Nearly for Slovenia
Janza fires a lovely cross into the England box but it's just over Sporar, that's likely their main route to a goal.
14'
Comfortable for Slovenia
Slovenia's back four look well in control. Foden is trying to create but without any luck.

England's first chance?

Sloppy from England
England give the ball away easily again, this time it's Guehi with a loose pass. Sesko can't gather it though.

Sesko with the first shot!
Slovenia have started well and their second foray into England's box produces a header on target from Sesko. Pickford saves it comfortably, though.

We're underway!
England get us kicked off in Cologne.
Kick-off!
Bundesliga interest
There's just two Bundesliga players in this one, but it's arguably the most important men on the pitch. Bayern Munich's Harry Kane captains England and lines up against fellow striker, Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko.

Group C permutations
England will win the Group if they beat Slovenia, or if they draw against Slovenia and Denmark fail to beat Serbia. If England draw and Denmark win, overall goal difference, then overall goals scored, then disciplinary points and then European qualifier rankings would determine first and second place. While the Three Lions cannot finish lower than third, Slovenia could end the day top or bottom of the section. A win would seal a top-two finish. A draw could, too, but only if Denmark vs. Serbia ends in a lower-scoring draw. A third-placed finish on three points might not be enough to see them through, though. Defeat to England coupled with a Serbia win would definitely send them out.
