    England fancy getting Raheem Sterling in behind this Croatian defence. Twice now they have come very close to achieving it.

    Can I request that England don't sit off and soak up pressure for 80-odd minutes? I cant stand it.

    Croatia win a corner from Ashley Young. Mark them up!

    Slabhead clears it away.

    As soon as he hit it, the whole Croatia wall jumped and it just cleared them. What a start.

    Croatia 0-1 England

    England have scored nine goals from set pieces at the 2018 World Cup - the most by any team in a single World Cup tournament since 1966.

    What a free-kick that was. Neither side had settled into the game but Kieran Trippier steps up and gets it over the wall. It's a great angle and the goalkeeper is miles away from it. What a start for England.

    The technique for this is beautiful. Up and down. Perfect. I love Gareth Southgate's reaction - just a warm glow. They're my boys and they've made a great start.

    That is Kieran Trippier's first goal for England by the way. Jordan Pickford plays a quick ball downfield and nearly frees Raheem Sterling.

    Gareth Southgate is so calm! Just a little nod and then he stands, arms folded. My goodness me...

    Kieran Trippier

    Yes. Yes he will!

    What a start! Kieran Trippier clips the free-kick over the wall and into the top corner!

    Sensational start for the Three Lions!

    Lovely touch from Jesse Lingard, little flick, to Dele Alli who is fouled. Free-kick in a good position.

    David Beckham would fancy this. Will Kieran Trippier?

    Let's hope these young lions can put in the performance of their lives again. They will need to as Croatia have some top players. Tactically I'm really interested to see how England will cope with them. I can't imagine they will be tired in a game of this size - they'll be loving it out there.
