POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
58. Arms behind his back, Glik uses his chest to divert a thumping Grealish cross behind for a corner.
The defender is hurt too, grimacing as he's pulled to his feet by his goalkeeper.
Shame.
- Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
56. Sterling drifts into another great position on the right of the penalty area, but once again can't get beyond Bednarek having deceived Puchacz.
The Manchester City man looks to be key to England's fortunes this evening.

POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
54. A hopeful long range punt by Phillips is comfortably claimed by Szczesny, and is notable only because it's England's first attempt on target this evening.
- Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
52. Glik is now targeting Kane as he looks to pick another personal battle.
Unfortunately for the defender, he looks to have come off second best in attempting to land a sneaky knee in the England striker's ribs.
- Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
50. Grealish and Sterling combine to threaten once again.
This time the latter almost wriggles free in a crowded penalty area to get his shot away, but Bednarek stands up to the task and gets a vital block in.
- Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
49. Sterling runs at Dawidowicz and into the box, and then cuts back inside to leave his opponent flat out on the turf.
The England man has plenty of time to pick out a teammate but still somehow takes too long. He tries to beat another defender and ultimately loses possession.
- Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
48. A bright start from England!
Phillips cleverly finds Mount, who picks out Grealish on the left. The Manchester City man toys with his marker before beating him with ease and whistling a cross-shot across the face of goal.
A goalkick is given despite Szczesny looking to have got a touch to take it behind. It's not just free-kicks that Grealish fails to win.
- Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
46. There are no changes to report as the visitors get the action going again in Warsaw.
That means Stones must have shook off the ankle issue that looked set to end his evening early.
- Sam Dymond
PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
THE SECOND HALF IS UNDERWAY!

HALF-TIME STATS
No goals, no attempts on target for England but plenty of aggression and needle all over the pitch.
- Sam Dymond
FLASHPOINT!
Ooof! It's all going off now!
After Daniel Siebert had blown his whistle for half-time and the players were leaving the pitch, something happened to trigger an almighty melee.
Kamil Glik, Harry Maguire and Raheem Sterling are at the heart of the drama as a whole group of players came together in a skirmish, including goalkeepers and substitutes.
The referee and his officials eventually separate the main culprits, and after a period to collect his thoughts, Siebert shows yellow cards to Glik and Maguire.

PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
THE HALF-TIME WHISTLE GOES! - Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
45+3. In the third minute of additional time – after two were signalled – a free-kick into the England box is headed spectacularly clear by Maguire.
That will be that for now.
- Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
45. Having had enough of being kicked and not protected, Grealish decides to dribble past five Poland players.
Unfortunately, it takes it from the right flank to the left rather than towards goal, but it is an indication of his individual talent.
- Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
44. The corner is sent in the direction of Maguire, but even the England defender with his sizeable head is unable to connect with such a rasping outswinger.
- Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
43. From the resulting free-kick, Dawidowicz makes a meal of a simple headed clearance, and concedes a corner late in the half.
- Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
42. Jack Grealish goes over. He does get a free-kick. He is not happy.
- Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
41. Jack Grealish goes over. He doesn't get a free-kick. He is not happy.
- Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
39. Stones isn't moving freely despite his return to the action. Replays show the centre-back rolled over on his ankle in that coming together with Lewandowski.
Coady is now receiving some instructions from Steve Holland.
- Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
38. It looks to be ankle trouble that is hampering Stones, but he's indicated that he wants to continue and returns to the field.
Nevertheless, Conor Coady is warming up along the touchline. Tyrone Mings, remember, is suspended for this evening.
- Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
36. Trouble for Stones, who puts the ball out of play so he can receive treatment.
The England defender looks unsteady after being knocked off his feet by Lewandowski.
- Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
34. A chance for England to take advantage as the Poland defence give up possession with too many men committed forward.
Phillips wins the ball back to lead the charge, but rather than simply playing Kane through on goal, he opts to go right to Sterling, and the opportunity promptly disappears.
- Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
32. Moder sees his name up in lights as he cuts in off the left flank and goes for goal from 30 yards…
…and the lights in the top tier are roughly where the ball ends up.
- Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
29. Lewandowski in on goal! Easily saved by Pickford!
The Poland captain finally finds his way into the penalty area, squeezing between Phillips and Walker as he latches on to Jozwiak's lift, but is unable to lob the ball over the England goalkeeper with the outside of his right foot.
- Sam Dymond
POLAND 0-0 ENGLAND
27. Grealish and Glik have a spat off the ball after the England man goes to ground a little too easily by the corner flag.
I don't speak Polish, but I've seen the same look on the face of thousands of fans of Premier League clubs over the past two seasons.
