4.06: So that win puts England top of Group B with four points. A draw against Slovakia and that will see them through to the last 16. And breathe...

3.56: Daniel Sturridge calls his winning goal "a beautiful, brilliant feeling" and you know what? I think I know what it means.

3.54: WOW. Just WOW.

3.50: UNBELIEVABLE! It's DANIEL STURRIDGE who gets it, weaving his way through the knackered Welsh defence and sliding it by Wayne Hennessey at his near post. Both subs have scored and Roy Hodgson's a genius! ENGLAND 2 WALES 1

GOOOOAAAALLLLL!!!!

3.48: Kyle Walker hammers a fizzer in from 22 yards but it's deflected out for a corner by the head of Ben Davies. From the corner, it's Gary Cahill who rises highest but heads well over. There'll be three minutes of stoppage time.

3.43: Six minutes plus stoppage time for someone to find a winner.

3.38: A rare foray into England territory by the Welsh as Jonny Williams pushes on and lets fly from 20-odd yards. It's a positive move but the shot sails well over.

3.34: Rashford has also become the first player born after Euro 96 toppled for England in a major tournament. Yes, that does make me feel old.

3.31: And it's Adam Lallana who'll make way. So Marcus Rashford becomes England's youngest ever player at the European Championships. Hats off to the teenager.

3.30: Two changes now as Jonny Williams replaces Hal Robson-Kanu and, get this, Marcus Rashford is coming on for England!

3.29: Quite good then...

3.25: Daniel Sturridge is bang up for this. He's just taken the ball from in his own half and breezed through the Welsh defence before firing over from 20 yards or so. Meanwhile, there's a change for Wales as the crocked Joe Ledley is replaced by Dave Edwards.

3.22: Cometh the former medical supplies factory worker...

3.20: BOOKING! Ben Davies goes in the book for a late stamp on Adam Lallana's ankle. That was nasty. But it's all England at the moment. Can Wales hold out here? Now it's Daniel Sturridge from 14 yards! Miskicked!

3.15: Get the party started! It's JAMIE VARDY! Daniel Sturridge drifts a cross in from the left and it's headed straight to the Leicester striker by Ashley Williams and he doesn't miss from six yards. ENGLAND 1 WALES 1

GOOOOAAAAAALLLLL!!!!!

3.14: End to end stuff now as Aaron Ramsey tries a dipping volley from distance at one end and Wayne Rooney has a low curler tipped around the post at the other. But what's this?

3.12: 'You're going home, you're going home, you're going, England's going home' sing the Welsh fans again. Cruel but probably quite accurate.

3.10: Probably had dandruff in his eyes...

3.08: It's an encouraging start by England again but they're still not creating any gilt-edged chances. Still, at least Sturridge is looking lively.

3.04: PEEEEEP! We're off again!

3.03: The players are back out again and we're ready to go. And yes, Daniel Sturridge and Jamie Vardy are both coming on with Sterling and Kane making way.

2.58: What a massive 45 minutes for England and, more particularly, for Roy Hodgson. England don't really look like scoring and they need some big changes at the break. No point waiting until 60-65 minutes. Get them done now Roy. Got a hunch we're going to see Daniel Sturridge very soon indeed.

2.48: And that's half-time! ENGLAND 0 WALES 1

2.45: Wayne Rooney concedes a free-kick maybe 35 yards out and GARETH BALE's strike is up and over the wall and in! But Joe Hart! What were you doing? It was a simple save and one you should have made. Very, very poor. ENGLAND 0 WALES 1

2.44: GOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!

2.38: Close again for England as a trademark Chris Smalling header whistles just wide of the upright. It's coming...

2.34: Sorry, that's handball from Ben Davies and that really should be a penalty for England. It's a cross from the left from Raheem Sterling and the Spurs defender just heads it on to his arm. There's clear contact and the England players are perplexed. As am I, to be fair.

2.28: Another clumsy foul from Joe Ledley on Danny Rose gives England another free-kick, this time out on the left. Wayne Rooney curls it in and there's Gary Cahill nodding it towards goal but straight into the arms of Wayne Hennessey. England pressing.

2.24: Dele Alli is chopped down by Joe Ledley and England have a free-kick 30 yards out. It's Harry Kane to take and he goes for goal but he spoons it well over the bar. Or, in other words, about as good as his corners.

2.21: And it's Raheem Sterling! Oh...

2.17: England with 65% of the ball so far. It means little, obviously, but it does show how both these teams are setting their stall out with England pressing and Wales looking to break at pace. Martin Keown says it's 'like a game of chess'. It isn't.

2.14: Another shot for England and this time it's the skipper Wayne Rooney who hammers one in from 30 yards or so but it's about as close as I am to our cat - and I can't stand her.

2.13: And a more direct one from Martin Kelner...

2.11: Valid point from the Great Dane...

2.09: The first chance of the game and it should be 1-0 to England. Adam Lallana leaves Neil Taylor for dead, squares the ball across the area and there's Raheem Sterling sliding in. Sadly, it goes over the bar from six yards. How did he miss?

2.06: The first England corner and it's WAYNE ROONEY taking it! That is radical Roy! Meanwhile, Dele Alli shoves Aaron Ramsey into the advertising boards and a minor scuffle ensues. Well it is Spurs v Arsenal...

2.04: Impressive start for England who've began on the front foot with Harry Kane, in particular, intent on showing Ashley Williams what he's in for. They've got all the possession so far.

2.02: Anthems done. Huddles done. England in white. Wales in blue. Let's do this thing. WE ARE OFF!

2.01: Safe to say he's up for it.

1.59: We've had both anthems and it's a clear win for England. That's a turn up for the books. Blimey. And so we're set fair for the most anticipated game of the group stages.

1.56: Joe Hart is screaming his head off in the tunnel. 'Get that ball! Move that f****** ball boys!' And there are kids present too. And it's live on TV too. Shocking. Anyway, here they come! And breathe...

1.54: Right then. The England team are first in the tunnel, surrounded, as ever, by hordes of pesky nippers. And here come the Welsh. Nervous? Nah, me neither.

1.51: Ah, the power of football...

1.45: Looking forward to seeing some more of Harry Kane's pinpoint corners again today. Honestly, what is the point? Can no other player take them? Really? It's one of those strange decisions that may come back to haunt Roy Hodgson.

1.40: God Save Preston? Must we?

1.36: How's that for passion then Gareth?

1.34: Here's hoping he doesn't soil himself.

1.31: Here's a worrying stat for all you England fans out there. Ready? Well, Roy Hodgson's men/boys have failed to score more than once in 13 of their last 14 matches at major tournaments.

1.26: A little over half an hour till kick-off. Time for that 'migraine' to kick in if you're still at work.

1.24: The Welsh fans are in fine voice - but aren't they always? But this is a new ditty they've come up with for England. Altogether now: 'You're going home, you're going home, you're going, England's going home...'

1.21: Chin up chaps! After all, Wales were the first British side to win their opening game in a European Championship finals tournament.

1.17: So three changes for the Welsh with football's very own Lazarus, Joe Ledley and supersub Hal Robson-Kanu making the starting XI. There's a return for Wayne Hennessey between the sticks too after his back spasm. Back spasm? Joe Ledley had a broken leg!!!

1.05: Where's the water cannon when you need it?

1.02: And here, hot off whatever the Welsh is for 'press', is Chris Coleman's starting XI.

1.00: There's no denying that Roy Hodgson is an eminently likeable man but he's not exactly inspirational, is he? And, let's face it, he's about as conservative a coach as they come. Will his England team surprise us today? What do you think?

12.57: Fancy a flutter on first goalscorer today? Well read this first and don't just lump blindly on Gareth Bale. It could make you richer than Rooney.

12.52: So what do you make of the England team? Still no start for Vardy then. What does he have to do? Even he doesn't know.
