65'
Sterling clips a delightful cross into the box for Kane. The skipper is onside, but can't get anything on his attempt to flick it towards goal. That was a decent chance too.
63'
England break at speed. Kane turns form deep and rakes a wonderful ball over the top for the rampaging Sancho. The Dortmund man looks to be in, but can't quite get the ball under control and the Czechs manage to get men back to thwart him.
62'
Movement on the Czech bench. How about it Gareth?
60'
Masopust cuts inside and unleashes a curving, dipping 20-yard strike that Pickford is forced to tip over the bar.
58'
SAVE! Tomás Vaclik does brilliantly to rush out and deny Sterling after Kane had sent the Man City man clear.
56'
England have looked better operating in a 4-3-3, but you feel it is time for Southgate to make a change or two.
54'
DID YOU KNOW? This was the first time in the group (from four previous matches) that England were not leading at the interval.
52'
Tomas Soucek skews a horrible left-foot strike well wide of the near post after the Czechs pounced upon sloppy play from the visitors and poured forward on the counter.
51'
50'
49'
England have reverted to a 4-3-3 with Rice in the middle and Henderson on the right. The 4-2-3-1 with Mount in the hole just didn't work in that first period.
48'
Vladimir Darida with the first attempt of the second half, but he sizzles a long-range drive way off target.
47'
No changes at the break. The hosts should be quite content, but Southgate will no doubt have some adjustments in mind if things don't improve.
2nd Half
46'
KICK OFF! England restart the contest hoping for a better second period.
End of 1st Half
45+1'
HT: Czech Republic 1-1 England. Kane's penalty cancelled out by Brabec as both sides strike inside the first 10 minutes. The hosts have probably edged it since then, but the score remains level at the break.

45'
One minute added.
43'
STAT: England have won eight of their last nine games. Their only loss came in the Nations League semi final against Holland in June.
41'
Masopust drags his shot across the face of goal after the Czechs had cut England open once more with a simple cross and flick-on from the left.
39'
Pickford's attempt at a feint is easily read and the England keeper's heart must have skipped a beat as he just about managed to hack the ball away. Needless dithering from the Everton stopper.
