A brilliant fourth for England's Under-21s as Callum Hudson-Odoi runs pretty much the length of the pitch before smacking a fine strike into the top corner. Aidy Boothroyd's side lead Austria's U21s 4-0 at the break.

Oh that's disappointing as the Republic of Ireland build a promising attack but Alan Browne's shot is disappointing and the referee blows for half time.

Haris Seferović smashes over the bar from inside the box as Switzerland come forward again. A second before the break would be a real blow for the visitors.

Just a minute added on at the end of the half.

"GERRITT FORWARDD," Mick McCarthy screams at Glenn Whelan.

Whelan doesn't initially oblige but the ball is eventually pumped long but the attacking opportunity is wasted as Switzerland are awarded a free kick.

Set pieces are looking the Republic of Ireland's best chance of getting a goal here and they have a corner five minutes before half time. It is a good delivery by Glenn Whelan, into the middle of the box, and Shane Duffy rises but his header is straight at Yann Sommer.

Easy as you like for England's Under 21s tonight as Eddie Nketiah makes it 3-0 against Austria, glancing a header in at the far post.

Granit Xhaka's corner hits Glenn Whelan in the body. Home fans think there was a handball and scream for a penalty, nothing given but the hosts keep up the attack as Fabian Schar bends a decent effort just wide of the post.

Yellow cards coming thick and fast now as Alan Browne is penalised for a challenge on Stephan Lichtsteiner that was a bit too strong for the referee's liking.

The first couple of yellow cards are dished out as Switzerland's Granit Xhaka and the Republic of Ireland's Seamus Coleman go in the referee's book following a tangle.

The visitors enjoy a rare attack but Enda Stevens shoots too early, firing a speculative effort from distance well over.

England Under-21s have doubled their lead against Austria courtesy of Eddie Nketiah. Aidy Boothroyd's side are cruising but would probably like one more at least after letting a two-goal lead slip last Friday.

Stephan Lichtsteiner comes forward for the hosts, the Republic of Ireland defence backs off and Lichtsteiner goes for goal but swipes his effort well wide.

Switzerland are forced into an early change as Admir Mehmedi has picked up an injury. He makes way for ex-West Ham midfielder Edimilson Fernandes.

In the other group game, Georgia are flying against Gibraltar. They lead 2-0. The result in that game is inconsequential for the other teams, though, with neither side able to qualify for Euro 2020.

James Collins wins a free-kick to ease the pressure on the Republic of Ireland's defence.

Long way to go in this one and Switzerland are quite partial to conceding goals late on.

Switzerland are passing the ball around quickly. They look confident thanks to that early goal. The Republic of Ireland, in contrast, haven't really put together a decent attacking move yet.

Switzerland up the pressure as they win a couple of corners in quick succession. Both, though, come to nothing.

That's scuppered the Republic of Ireland's initial gameplan as they seemed happy enough to let Switzerland have the ball.

Mick McCarthy's side try to find an immediate response but Aaron Connolly's ball across the box can't find a team-mate.

The Republic of Ireland do have two bites of the cherry, so to speak, but potentially facing Denmark needing to win would not be ideal.

The England Under-21s are ahead against Austria in their Euro 2021 qualifier. Callum Hudson-Odoi's fine first-time strike breaking the deadlock.

First effort on goal for the visitors as they win a corner. Glenn Whelan takes it, finding Jeff Hendrick on the far side of the box but he can't direct his header on target.
