Almost there...

What a stop! Germany finally load up the penalty area and Joshua Kimmich sees a close-range header somehow pushed away by Hugo Lloris. Incredible wrists!

From the follow-up Mario Gotze heads wide...

Paul Pogba overstretches and cramps up, but it's Antoine Griezmann who comes off to a hero's reception.

On comes Yohan Cabaye. The first Crystal Palace player to play in a major semi-final since...?

Joe Ledley and Wayne Hennessey last night. Got you.

It's definitely France's night isn't it? You have to give them credit, but overall Germany have let themselves down in the final third.

An absolute workhorse tonight, Moussa Sissoko. Made that auxiliary right-back berth his own. 

Stuart Watson: Sissoko has put in a tremendous shift tonight.... He's saved a lot of energy this season playing for Newcastle. 

David Ljunggren: Perhaps if Sissoko had stirred himself like this when playing for Newcastle, we wouldn't have been relegated

So this is what it must feel like to reach the final as a host nation. I wonder if any of the home nations will ever find out?

England at Wembley in 2020, anyone?

Antoine Griezmann breaks the lines and he's away, is this the hat-trick? A last German defender makes himself a barricade and Griezmann should pass to Andre-Pierre Gignac. He shoots though, and Manuel Neuer saves easily.

'Ole!' time now in Marseille. Cheering every pass. 

It isn't going to be Germany's night ... Watch again as Joshua Kimmich hits the bar.

Didier Deschamps won the Euros as captain of France 16 years ago. He is going to get another shot at it.

So close the men in blue can taste it now. Six minutes between them and the final in Paris.

Neil Seddon: With Gignac on the pitch the French crowd are almost like an eleventh man.

Tim Sherwood: A Portugal-France final doesn't sound very appealing. A dull 1-0 win in extra time 

It's not the Tim Sherwood...

Germany win a free-kick out wide. There's no plan B for them though. Benedikt Howedes attacks another Toni Kroos delivery and it's onto the roof of the net.

Can life get any better for Antoine Griezmann? Sixth goal of the tournament and France's second of the night. France look like they're on their way to the final.

This 10 minutes will feel like 25 for France supporters. I still wouldn't write the Germans off. Never write the Germans off...

That was a chance! A Germany goal now would set up a blockbuster finish but Shkodran Mustafi blazes over after a corner fell in his lap.

Bastian Schweinsteiger off, on comes Leroy Sane. All or nothing time for Germany now.

And Sane flicks a free-kick wide within seconds! 

Olivier Giroud has ran himself daft. He's off, on comes Andre-Pierre Gignac. The deadliest French forward in Mexico. 

Giles Brooks: Germany are playing like Ozil's Arsenal: plenty of possession but little end product! 

Raymond: It's over people. The Germans messed up at the back. The French capitalised. Summary is Les Bleus are into the final.

Steve Dilley: You don't see many German defences made to look stupid! To think England have beaten both of these recently!
