Pogba angles another great ball into Giroud but he is flagged just offside. France needing a goal to settle some nerves.

22'

Pogba felled in unceremonious fashion by Săpunaru and the referee has a word. No card though.

STAT: France are unbeaten at Stade de France in major competitions (EURO and World Cup). They won three and drew one match at the 1998 World Cup, conceding only one goal. That goal was scored by Croatia's Davor Suker in the semifinals (2-1 win for France).

Here's Griezmann hitting the post.

18'

Great interception from Kante, really reading the game well at the moment. Always pressing to win the ball back for France.

So both teams really ought to have scored. Evra’s cross deflects into the hands of Tătăruşanu.

POST! France so close to taking the lead as Sagna’s ball from the right finds Griezmann. His first effort is blocked before his header comes back off the post.

12'

Lovely skill from Pogba and his ball is inches away from playing in Payet behind the Romania defence.

CLOSE: Payet takes but it doesn’t beat the first man. It comes back to Payet and he whips in a great ball for Giroud, who heads wide. Should have hit the target.

Shot from Griezmann deflected over the bar and France have their first corner.

France very slow to settle tonight. Looks a very nervy performance so far but very early days. Romania almost in behind the defence again.

That really was a fantastic chance at the far post for Bogdan Stanciu and he should have buried it. Fine save, though.
