    Former England striker on BBC Two

    It's been a really good game. A good tactical watch. The fans have played their part and been very vocal throughout. To lose it now would be heart-breaking but I don't think either of these will allow that to happen.

    Crazy how a team can finish in 4th with more points than a 3rd place team and not progress over them. You’d think it should be points based as opposed to position and points?

    Liam, Shrewsbury

    AndyBrown: If they're going to persist with the 4 best 3rd place sides rule then should it just be the 4 best sides that didn't finish top 2? currently UKR are 4th on more pts than 3 of the 3rd placed sides! they do it in athletics when choosing the fastest losers

    Milan Skriniar, at walking pace, plays a long ball all the way out of play.

    This game, so entertaining for so long, may just be winding down with both sides collecting the point they need to reach the knock-outs.

    Martin Keown

    Dear, oh dear!

    Koen Casteels just gets across and it's a great reaction.

    Why isn't there a player on the near post?

    Inches in it! Ukraine's Ruslan Malinovskyi goes direct from a corner and almost catches out a napping Koen Casteels with the Belgium keeper just about beating the ball away before it drops in.

    It was right on the line! So close.

    You can hear the reaction from the Ukrainian fans for this change of personnnel and formation. They know their side are going for this now and that is what they want to see.

    Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

    Almost three full matches of football and four teams can hardly be split.

    I sense this finish to Group E has one last twist though. Ukraine are pinning Belgium back.

  8. 'Much, much better from Ukraine.'published at 18:41 British Summer Time 26 June

    Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

    Stephen Warnock
    Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Everything that has been good for Ukraine has come through Georgiy Sudkov. He gets the ball into the feet of Artem Dovbyk in the box, who turns and fires low at the near post. Just couldn't get his foot around it to direct it inside the post. Much, much better from Ukraine.

  9. 'Dovbyk didn't knock it out of his feet enough'published at 18:40 British Summer Time 26 June

    Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

    Martin Keown
    Former England defender on BBC One

    Artem Dovbyk is just flagging a bit, he didn't knock it out of his feet enough to get a good shot off.

    A defender off for a forward. Oleksandr Svatok is replaced by Andriy Yarmolenko.

    Slovakia 1-1 Romania

    Corner to Slovakia, to be take right in front of their massed fans who rise in approval.

    Can either side find a winner?

    Not at this moment, as the corner is cleared.

  12. CLOSE!published at 18:39 British Summer Time 26 June

    Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

    Ukraine are pushing. As things stand they're going out, but they only need one goal!

    Artem Dovbyk gallops into the box before smashing a shot into the side-netting.

  13. Postpublished at 18:39 British Summer Time 26 June

    Slovakia 1-1 Romania

    Naughty by Romania's Andrei Ratiu. He gives a shove to Slovakia's David Hancko as they battle for the ball, and Hancko collides with the advertising boards.

    Hancko is ok, but less than impressed by Ratiu.

    Could say that about so many teams Matt. Belgium, England, maybe even France?

    Watching Belgium is very similar to watching Chelsea....packed with individuals but just not playing as a unit.

    Both teams are still pushing for that winner at the moment but it is just approaching the time where they may just look at each other and think about settling for a draw.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 18:36 British Summer Time 26 June

    Slovakia 1-1 Romania

    Ivan Schranz will not score in every group game.

    The Slovakian winger is replaced by David Duris.

  19. 'Superb defending from Faes'published at 18:36 British Summer Time 26 June

    Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

    Stephen Warnock
    Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It was superb defending from Wout Faes. Manages to just get a foot in to block the shot on goal, almost certainly saves a goal for his side.

    Slovakia 1-1 Romania

    Slovakian centre back Denis Vavro shoots from 40 yards. It goes as well as you might expect.

    Just before that, Romania defender Radu Dragusin made a sliding tackle and got a lovely streak of mud all the way up his yellow kit. Beautiful.
