    Scotland are guilty of standing off their opponents as England work the ball forward and Reece James thunders a rising shot just wide.

    Donna C: Scotland holding their own! 'mon the lads! All to play for! 2nd half is gonna be a doozie.

    Mike Wilson: Game there to be won by Scotland as long as England remain so poor.

    Brinkle: Good defending so far. One good chance to score and a significant improvement over last game performance at least until now. Let's hold and try a winning goal in the second half!

    The benches will make a difference, I'm absolutely convinced about it.

    In terms of who Scotland don't want to come on for England, it's Jack Grealish.

    Che Adams finds Andy Robertson steaming into space up the left but there's no one in the box for Scotland and the low cross is easily intercepted.

    England starting to ramp up the pressure now. They're playing with more intensity. Scotland just need to keep their concentration and try to minimise the space England have to run into.

  6. GREAT SAVE!published at 48 mins

    England are fired up.

    Andy Robertson does superbly well to make a penalty box interception but the home side come again and Mason Mount fizzes in a low shot that David Marshall pushes round the post.

    Here we go for the second half.

    No changes in personnel.

    What a shift from Kieran Tierney so far. He loves a drive forward out of defence.

    He's also had more passes in the opposition half than any other Scotland player.

    And he's probably nowhere near 100% fit...

    O'Donnnell has been excellent. His confidence hit the floor after the Czech defeat but he has picked himself up and been solid in defence and a real threat in attack. Fair play to him.

    Watching Scotland is never easy.

    Even when they're doing quite well...

    Scotland's main attacking outlet has been through their wing-backs, Andy Robertson on the left and Stephen O'Donnell on the right.

    It's been a very organised performance, with aggression and belief. The team has caused England a problem or two - I think England are making it easy for us though.

    Kalvin Phillips, Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling - England's top performers against Croatia - have been much quieter this evening and that's largely down to an excellent Scotland display thus far. The England players are having to work much harder defensively to keep the Scots out and are finding space harder to come by offensively.

  15. HALF-TIME England 0-0 Scotlandpublished at 45 mins

    It's even at the break and Scotland can be happy with their work so far.

    There was a huge let-off when an unmarked John Stones crashed a header against the post from a corner.

    But Scotland have settled well and knocked the ball around well and it took a top save from Jordan Pickford to keep out a volley from Stephen O'Donnell.

    Great spell for Scotland.

    After approximately 308 passes*, Che Adams has a pop from 20 yards and his shot is deflected wide.

    The corner is disappointing though.

    *Maybe a slight exaggeration.

    Scotland are so well structured and putting everything into keeping their shape. England have so many quality players and can change a game in the blink of an eye, so Scotland need to be right on it throughout the game, which will take an immense amount of work.

    Billy Gilmour has completed all 13 of his passes in the opening 40 minutes.

    Simple stuff. Done well.

    Great graft from Callum McGregor earns Scotland a corner, but out comes Jordan Pickford to punch it away.

    It's been a largely pleasing first half so far for Steve Clarke and Scotland. It's great to see Kieran Tierney running freely, with no sign of the calf injury that kept him out of the previous game.
