    England 2-2 Germany

    A long ball for Jeremy Toljan is too long and out of play, so the ball is back in England hands, but it looks like extra time is on its way.

    Oh hang on. FIVE minutes added on. One more chance?

    England 2-2 Germany

    All Germany. England defending deep. Can they find something on the counter? A long ball for Tammy Abraham bounces into German territory.

    They are huge.

  4. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 87 mins

    England 2-2 Germany

    John Swift is on the pitch for England too now - Will Hughes, who has been excellent, the man to make way.

    They need these fresh legs. Aidy Boothroyd's side have been looking tired.

    Germany make a change too - Serge Gnabry off, Nadiem Amiri on.

    THREE minutes to go. Extra time?

    Great effort by Nathan Redmond cutting inside. It was nearly a fantastic finish.

  6. CHANCE!published at 85 mins

    England 2-2 Germany

    England again retreating back to their penalty area, but Alfie Mawson cannons a clearance up the park and Tammy Abraham gathers. Nathan Redmond, who came on as a sub for Demarai Gray a few moments ago, fires wide after cutting inside from left onto right boot.

  7. CHANCE!published at 83 mins

    England 2-2 Germany

    Serge Gnabry has so much space on the edge of the box - is it tiredness or clever movement? Either way England are nowhere near him, and luckily for them the former Arsenal winger, recently signed by Bayern Munich, can only shoot wide. Poor effort.

  8. YELLOW CARDpublished at 81 mins

    England 2-2 Germany

    Serge Gnabry goes in the book for a tug on Jacob Murphy, stopping the England man from darting up the park.

    James Ward-Prowse with another chance to deliver from the free-kick. A goal now would do nicely, but his cross doesn't beat the German front line.

    Under 10 minutes to go...

    That's a very close call. England are lucky to escape and need to show some guts. It's about rolling their sleeves up and getting stuck in.

  10. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 78 mins

    England 2-2 Germany

    Max Mayer pops in a fantastic cross to Felix Platte - who nods Germany in front - no!

    I'm about to write what a brilliant goal it is, Platte's header was superbly taken, beaten Jordan Pickford got a hand to it, but the assistant referee raises his flag for one of the most marginal offsides you will see.

    England need to get back into this. Germany are sparkling, and showing no signs of slowing down.

  11. CHANCES! TWO!published at 75 mins

    England 2-2 Germany

    Max Philipp lets the frustration of that wasted chance bubble up and boil to the surface, lashing a superb effort from range that Jordan Pickford does really well to swat behind for a corner.

    Moments before, Pickford had to dart off his line to deny Serge Gnabry, who with a better touch might have had an easy chance to score.

    Germany are knocking on the door. Loudly. Clattering that letterbox.

  12. CHANCE!published at 72 mins

    England 2-2 Germany

    Max Philipp is played in behind England lines but snatches at his finish - low and wayward past Jordan Pickford's far post.

    Was it wise to retreat so deeply? England have handed all the momentum to Germany. They are looking very slick once more.

  13. 'Naive'published at 18:32 British Summer Time 27 June 2017

    It was Mason Holgate picking up Platte - a big lump of a boy - and it was met with a very firm header. Jordan Pickford had no chance. England conceded a similar goal against Slovakia. England are naive at blocking these headers. Can they respond?

    GOAL - England 2-2 Germanypublished at 70 mins

    Felix Platte

    England are undone. From a corner, at the near post.

    The delivery is fast and low. Mason Holgate is marking Felix Platte but is powerless as the substitute launches himself towards the ball, he can only watch as Platte acrobatically darts a bullet header past Jordan Pickford. The power did it all.

    A big last 20 minutes ahead or else it's...

    England 2-1 Germany

    England finally get up the pitch to threaten the German goal, it's with Jacob Murphy, playing down the right flank. But the sub can't quite summon his best, running the ball out of play.

  16. Postpublished at 68 mins

    England 2-1 Germany

    Serge Gnabry hasn't done much to impress the many fans who will have last seen him not quite cutting it at West Brom. Apologies if he goes on to twine the whole England team and score now.

    Mason Holgate reads him like a book, telegraphing his cut-back from the left wing to win possession. He's all about the right boot seemingly, Gnabry.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 66 mins

    England 2-1 Germany

    A change for England now.

    Nathaniel Chalobah is struggling, he's holding the front of his thigh. Could be a muscular ailment. Jacob Murphy, usually a winger or forward for Norwich, comes on to replace him.

    This could see England switch about a bit. Although Murphy has also played at right-back. Talk about versatile - give him the gloves and he'll probably do a job.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 63 mins

    England 2-1 Germany

    Yannick Gerhardt absolutely smashes a volley, towards goal but blocked by an England midriff. Thunderous contact. Serge Gnabry gets to the line and crosses, but Aidy Boothroyd's side again fence it away.

    Davie Selke - Germany's scorer, is withdrawn, Darmstadt striker Felix Platte is on in his place.

  20. YELLOW CARDpublished at 60 mins

    England 2-1 Germany

    Ben Chilwell picks up a yellow for a late trip on Max Philipp (I'm just calling him Max now).

    The free-kick is nodded away by Calum Chambers. England are still deep, Tammy Abraham ready to run on to anything loose.
