    Oh, hang on. Wait...

    Italy have made a slow start here, they just haven't got going.

    It's a poor one from Kevin de Bruyne, who fluffs it to the near post, where Jorginho is positioned to clear.

    Italy sense the chance to break but Axel Witsel pulls put a tactical foul to end that.

    Just looking at those Italian bodies and how many they have got forward. They just move slowly into position the Italian players and they get good possession of the ball.

    Intriguing opening 10 minutes, Still waiting for that first chance, though.

    Belgium 0-0 Italy

    Manuel Locatelli has been really impressive, it had to be said.

    Marco Verratti, though... let's just say it's a nice problem for Roberto Mancini to have.

    Disappointed not to see Locatelli start. I know Verratti is a quality player but dropping a player in good from has to be a mistake?

    First proper sign of Italy on the ball. But Lorenzo Insigne swings a cross straight through everyone and the box to concede a goal-kick.

    Belgium 0-0 Italy

    As they've just said on BBC One, the last time Roberto Mancini faced Roberto Martinez as a manager was the 2013 FA Cup final, in which the latter's Wigan beat the former's Manchester City.

    They love this system Belgium Three at the back, wing backs pushed on, Thorgan Hazard on that left-hand side has been outstanding so far in the tournament. Two midfielders sitting and then De Bruyne pulls the strings for them.

    It's all Belgium. They've quickly seized the role of aggressor, with Italy happy to bide their time.

    Italy have been magnificent in this tournament so far, but a lot of it hinges on De Bruyne, great news of course that he is playing today.

    He is a magnificent footballer but this Italian team is well drilled

    I'm quietly chuffed with the first five minutes. Already very promising.

    First sign of Jeremy Doku in flight. Loves a dribble, as he shows here. Italy hold firm, though, to repel him.

    Soon after, Romelu Lukaku is offside just before he fires over.

    The corner is sent to the near post by Kevin de Bruyne but Leonardo Bonucci is there to meet it with a booming clearing header.

    Thirty goals for Inter last season for Lukaku.

    He has helped Belgium win a corner. They've started well.

    Olly Foster: I’m torn here. Love the way this Italian team play but also love #BEL with KDB and the Spurs connections. Could be a classic.
