Hello and welcome to Eurosport's coverage of England's first game of the European Championships, against Croatia. I'm Ciaran Baynes and I'll be following the match with you.

A desperate shot on the half turn from Pasalic is way over the bar and the referee blows up. A fine performance from England all things considered. Their first opening game victory in a European Championship.

Petkovic wins a header as a ball is lumped into the box but Pickford comes out well to gather.

Bellingham fine to carry on and now Sterling will be replaced by Calvert-Lewin.

Bellingham goes down after a nasty clash of heads with Vida and is walked off the field.

Kovacic is replaced by Pasalic in Croatia's last change.

A mistimed cross from perisic has Pickford scrambling back but he gathers just under the far post.

Immediately Bellingham wins two tackles and it leads to Sterling putting a ball over the top for Rashford but it is too firm.

Bellingham comes on to become the youngest ever player in a European Championships, replacing Kane.

Petkovic replaces Rebic for Croatia.

Sterling really should have done better there. A deep fee kick into the box from Trippier was headed back by Mings and time seemed to stop as it dropped for Sterling in the box but on his left foot he blazed high and wide of the target.

Good defending from Kyle Walker keeping himself between the ball and Perisic after a cross dropped dangerous on England's six-yard box.

Brekalo and Vlasic replace Kramaric and Brozovic for Croatia and Rashford replaces Foden for England.

Modric chips a corner to the edge of the box but Brozovic never looked like hitting the target with a volley.

A good curling and dipping effort from Mount but it came down just the wrong side of the crossbar, though in fairness the keeper looked like he would have stopped it.

Brozovic loses the ball and then Mount runs through on goal and blocks the Croatian midfielder's path to the ball and is brought down 25 yards from goal to the right of the D.

Great chance for Rebic. Kovacic shot from 25 yards out and it is blocked by Stones into the striker's path but as Walker and Stones looked to protect the goal he skewed his effort wide.

Foden picks up a yellow card for a pretty minor push and, seemingly inadvertent, stand on Caleta-Car's foot.

Kane is fine to resume action.

Kane smacked against the post after the chance and is down in pain at present.

Great football for England with Foden drifting to the let and linking with Sterling before Mount puts a ball to the back post that looked certain to be knocked in by Kane but Caleta-Car did enough to put off the England captain and he skewed his effort wide.
