That's great defending from Slovakia right-back Peter Pekarik. He gets a really good block on Daniel Sturridge. Again promising from England. They are getting the ball wide and into the box.

Two half chances in the opening 10 minutes. Roy Hodgson will be happy.

There's the Jamie Vardy option, Jack Wilshere looks up in the centre circle and is able to drop a wonderful pass over the top for Vardy to run onto. He keeps the ball, it ends up coming back in and Vardy nods it on for Daniel Sturridge to arrive on...blocked!

That's twice already that England have created danger from their right-hand side. 

Stuart Chaplin: No Kane, no Rooney. Wait? WHO WILL TAKE THE CORNERS!?!?

A really difficult chance for Jamie Vardy. Nathaniel Clyne did well, pushed it past Vladimir Weiss and whipped the ball in. Vardy just tries to get a thigh onto it. England have started brightly.

Martin Skrtel starts a Slovakia attack with a wonderful raking pass out wide, it ends with Juraj Kucka slamming wastefully over from 25 yards. 

A spell of possession for Slovakia now for the first time, England dropping off until the ball comes into their half and then Jordan Henderson wins it back sharply. The men in red have started well. Nathaniel Clyne whips in a cross and Jamie Vardy helps it over the top, it came off his thigh in the end. A very tough chance. 

As it stands, England and Wales are through. Just the 86 minutes to go. 

Ryan Bertrand gets the ball on the left wing and can put in an early cross, it's not a great one, low and half cleared, but Adam Lallana almost picks up the pieces. Positive start from Roy Hodgson's side.

We're in France but it is a very British ground. All four sides are so close to the pitch.

England dominating the ball in these very, very early stages.

Jamie Vardy is right through the middle for England with Daniel Sturridge starting on the right. 

And Wales are also up and running.

Follow that game here. 

Under way in St. Etienne! England need a point to secure qualification, a win will win Group B. Lose and, er, it gets a bit tricky...

Guy Janaway: Is a tattoo on the arm a pre-requisite to join the Slovak football team?

Wonder if Roy's looking at that XI with any second thoughts...
