1': We're off!
14': Rice's shot is blocked and then cleared.
16': Mainoo's shot is blocked by his own man Foden. Kane goes down in the box trying to recover the ball, he wants a penalty but the ref's not impressed.
22': England wins a corner, Kane heads it off-target.
30': England do the saddest short corner routine you will ever see, where they somehow get forced back to the goalkeeper
32': Fabian Schär carded for impeding Bellingham on the counter. I don't know about that one
34': Trippier's pass hits a Swiss hand but the ref misses it. Not in the box so VAR can't review
36': Saka puts the ball in the box, Bellingham tries to glance it at goal but Sommer has it covered
45': Saka somehow manages to dribble around two guys and cut it back to Mainoo but Xhaka makes a huge block.
HT England 0-0 Switzerland England look... better. But they're still struggling to get shots off
46': We're back!
51': Embolo gets off the first Swiss shot on target but it's tame and easily saved.
57': Chance for Embolo! But he doesn't get clean contact under pressure from Konsa and Pickford's got it easily
64': Switzerland double sub; Steven Zuber and Silvan Widmer on for Fabian Rieder and Ruben Vargas
65': Bellingham tries to get to a cross, can't get good contact under pressure, taps it well wide.
66': Stones half-clears the ball, Aebischer volleys it into Row W
67': Harry Kane carded for pulling down Akanji
75': GOAL SWITZERLAND!! A cross in the box should be cleared but it's not! It deflects off of Stones's foot and sits perfectly for Breel Embolo to tap in!
78': England triple sub: Eberechi Eze, Cole Palmer and Luke Shaw on for Kieran Trippier, Ezri Konsa and Kobbie Mainoo

110': Switzerland substitution: Xherdan Shaqiri on for Breel Embolo
110': England substitution: Ivan Toney on for Harry Kane
