We'll be back with more action from Euro 2024 tomorrow!
But Slovenia will welcome it with open hands. They were rewarded for their defensive discipline and will now gear up for the knockouts.
Kane lays the ball off to Palmer, who takes a first-time shot with his left foot, aiming low. Oblak, however, reacts quickly and dives to secure the ball right on the line.
Jon Gorenc Stankovic and Zan Celar replace Jan Mlakar and Andraz Sporar.
Slovenia get the ball rolling and will attack from right to left.
The Three Lions looked sluggish from the first minute and Slovenia were content without possession. Matjaž Kek trusted his 4-4-2 system to keep the England runners at bay, and they did. Foden looked lively, or at least considerably. He and Bukayo Saka combined in the 20th minute to bulge the opposition net, but the referee ruled it offside. That was all for the highlights.
There's another half, and let's go both or either team picks up their intensity.
For the first time this tournament, England have looked on song. Foden makes a brilliant off-the-ball run and is fed by Rice down the left flank. The Man City winger blasts into the area and squares it for Saka to home. But the linesman raises his flag immediately to indicate that Foden strayed slightly offside.
A sweeping cross from the left is redirected back across the goal. Sesko rises to meet it and heads the ball towards the net, but his effort lacks power, allowing Pickford to make a comfortable catch.
England let the ball rolling and they'll attack from right to left.
The players are out in the middle. The pre-match rambles are out of the way. We're gearing up for the action.
Why is TAA still there? Why is TAA playing in the midfield? What does TAA bring to the ball? Southgate has listened and obliged. Connor Gallagher makes his first start in the Euros.
England are the eternal favorites, and yet the eternal underdogs. Southgate walked into the tournament with undoubtedly the most stunning group of players. But the football they've delivered hasn't lived up to the billing. A lone strike from Jude Bellingham saved their bushes against Serbia in the opener. Fans assumed the second round would bear more fruit, but unless. Denmark held them to a 0-0 draw.
Now, they arrive for their third bout. Up against a Slovenia side that has taken two draws, the Three Lions will face a stiff task. England are already through to the knockouts. But Slovenia would need a point or three to ensure their path to the next rounds.
So let me, Sayantan Guha, take you through what promises to be an exciting affair in Cologne, Germany.
